Maryanne Comaroto Live

I was hired by well known relationship expert & book author, Maryanne Comaroto to develop a custom online presence. Working with small west coast marketing firm to help develop content. I provided a full web solution and 2 years of on-going maintenance.

I was asked to build a custom CMS solution with consulting on page layouts, information architecture and on-going support/training. Goal was to manage the clients needs with-in their budget. Using Joomla CMS, I was able to build a community for Maryanne to post podcast, streaming video, blog and communicate to her fans. This was a great relationship and lasted over 2 and half years.

More Than Basic, LLC Website

This is a great example of a small brochure website, built for a southern Maine framing / construction company. More Than Basic Construction works with residential and commercial properties and specializes in everything from simple framing to general contracting. This site is a basic brochure website with a simple .asp contact form to ease communication and the quoting process.

More Than Basic Construction needed a way to get the word about regarding their many skills and services. With an audience as diverse as individual homeowners to developers and other contractors, a comprehensive Web site was the best way to reach as many people as possible.

NuImage Awnings Website

This web site has reached phenomenal heights in sales and customer feedback. For years I was the Interactive / Web Designer for FutureGuard, an awning manufacturer in Auburn, Maine. In 2004 My co-owned company, FLUXdevelopment, LLC. closed its doors to join FurtureGuard's in-house marketing team. As one of the leading companies in the awning industry with nationally-known partners such as HomeDepot and Lowe's.

Futureguard needed a one-stop-shop for everything from web design to digital video / DVD production. Someone to lead the in-house design and marketing on their retail website. From design to develop. This is a full ecommerce solution, which has lead to amazing sales growth as the site reaches the over 4 million dollar sales mark in its very first 3 years of operation.

SpringHarbor Hospital Web Banner Campaign

This web banner showcased Spring Harbor Hospital's newest treatment programs. Contracted by Spark Creative, this web banner showcased their diversity within the mental health industry.

This client needed an attention-grabbing way to briefly announce new mental health treatment programs and encourage Web site visitors to ask for more information. In partnership with Spark Creative , I created a Flash-animated ad that resembled a short video clip running to the left of relevant body copy. We saved the client money by using existing photography and specific fonts/type treatment from recently printed brochures.
