I’ve been very busy ’round here.
One new site that I’d like to tell you about now is 4th Gear Consulting.
http://www.4thgearconsulting.com
It’s a great new site that’s built using ModX (http://www.modxcms.com) - an incredible new content managment system - I’m using it ALMOST exclusively now because of it’s incredible flexibility.
There are some great things going on under the hood.
Also, jQuery makes an appearance too.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
In the past few days I’ve been doing a little more around here.
Firstly, did a little work for http://www.bellefleurshop.com. No design work per se, just installing a CMS to make life a little easier and adding a little jQuery action for the newsletter signup. Check it out in the footer area of their site - should be live by then - if not, cheat by going to http://www.bellefleurshop.com/about.
Also been working on a little redesign of my own. I mentioned it a while back, but now I’ve actually got the first inklings posted. You can check out the progress of the new Web and Flow at http://www.webandflowdesign.com/v3.
That’s it for now.
Keep in touch.
WOW.
Over three months without a post. Reprehensible!!!
A lot has been happening around here. We’ve been doing a lot of work with php and jQuery. We’ve been building sites in PHP for a long time now, but jQuery will allow us to do a lot of very neat things to provide a much more responsive interface, a lot more interaction.
I’ve also started working with a great new content management system called modx. It’s a great system that will allow us to pretty easily create websites that W&F Clients will be able to use to keep their sites updated with fresh content. It was an award winner as the most promising new content management sytem last year and has already proven itself as great system and is quickly gaining traction in the content management system world.
Not that that’s REAL exciting.
But, Web and Flow is looking forward to working with you in 2009. And that IS exciting.

I’ve recently completed the design for a site for the Brass Spectacular, an upcoming event here in the Charlotte area.
Check this website out at http://www.thebrassspectacular.com.
OK, so I’m working on a new design for the old web and flow - it was great while it lasted, but it’s time to go a different direction. I think I’m going lean.
And with jQuery . . .
And some other tricks.
More to come.

We love having satisfied clients.
Hows this for a quote?
Your work is great - I really appreciate it Des. The decision to switch to you was one of the best I’ve made regarding the company’s image. Thank you!!
This is what I would love to hear from everyone that I have the opportunity to complete projects for. As much fun as it is to create these sites, there’s nothing that compares to knowing that a client is happy with the finished product!

Last week I mentioned about my crazy month. Here’s why:
http://www.advancepublicrelations.com
It’s been a crazy month. There are a lot of exciting things going on with Web and Flow Design - I’m planning on rolling out a number of new designs in the next few months.
One of the exciting projects that I’ve been working on lately is a redesign adVance Public Relations website at http://www.advancepublicrelations.com. The original site was a design of mine as well about a year and half old. Since then, APR has grown and was ready for a new website - something a little more dynamic.
So, while it’s not live yet, it will be soon. And here’s a few preview images.
This is a design I’ve been messing with. Still a draft and lots left to do . . . but definitely coming along. It’s pretty grungy. I started with an image of Uptown Charlotte, used PS Black and White tool to get just the right mix of black and white, then pulled it into illustrator for vectorization (Yeah, I know it’s called tracing, but I like my word better). After that it was just a mix of brushes, filters and blending modes.
Still a work in progress, but this is my wallpaper at the moment.
I like it.
