Sunnking specializes in electronic scrap recycling for corporations, large and small manufacturers of OEM electronics, as well as municipalities and health and education institutions. They currently hold contracts with many fortune 500 companies in the Northeast United States to recycle their end of life electronics as well as multiple GSA Government contracts.

As a front-runner of environmental services in New York, Sunnking understands the merit of marketing their services electronically. Howeover, their old website was beginning to age so they hired local marketing group TrueNorth to redesign it.

I executed all front-end development duties and set them up with a content management system to keep their content fresh. I also developed a portal for employees to share files and communicate amongst themselves. I'm currently working on another branch of the site to help them showcase their current inventory.

I streamlined the interface by cleaning up the navigation, consolidating the text and eliminating several of the unnecessary pages. I also placed a large Flash slideshow on the homepage that rotates through 8 high quality photos with a short animation at the end.

I used gradients of tints of black contrasted by gold accents that match the warmth of the photos in the slideshow. The logo at the top was redesigned with the script typeface overlaying the sans-serif to convey a "Formal, but here to party" message. Overall, the website is much cleaner and easier to use.

Lachance's Landscapes once had a website up on the net, but after an unfortunate chain of events it unexpectedly got pulled down and they wanted to reestablish their presence. The homepage has a tall, night-themed header. The navigation bar, as part of the header, uses lighter colors that match the company's brand that contrast well against the dark colors of the rest of the header. The main body on the home page has a wood finish contrasted by the masonry-inspired main showcase. The website also has a simple photo gallery to show off their landscaping portfolio.

When you have unlimited resources (time, etc.) it's so easy to get carried away nit-picking at the details when you're designing for yourself, not to mention that constant battling with yourself over everything. I was free to use whatever colors, whatever technologies and whatever techniques I wanted. But, unlike working for a client, there's no one to sign off on a design. No one to say, "Yeah, do it." So, by flop-flopping with myself I ended up with 3 major iterations before I finally pulled the trigger and hit the code.

Looking back, I wish I had set myself some deadlines. I wish I had treated myself like a client because I probably would have finished months ago. Next time, next time...

I chose to use the colors of light blue, silver and black and the typeface Adobe Garamond Pro because it encapsulates the company's mission of professionalism. The diamond was inspired by NotByTheHour's "Don't Be Fooled" wallpaper.

I used the typeface Hypatia and the brick-and-blue color palette because it exudes the organization's principles of charity and philanthropy.

I jazzed up the existing company logo by adding some dimension, but beyond that the company's brand remained untouched. Navigation at the top blends in with the header but the slick rollovers bring contrast. The red and gray checkered background stands out strong behind the home page showcase and introductory text.

I still await content.
