July 15th, 2010Robert A. Norwood is a professor in the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences. My website design showcases his research, publishing, teaching, scholarly presentations, and patents.
The home page features a collage of photos that I took of the sculpture, low water use landscaping, and architecture at the college. (If you're interested in water-saving xeriscapes, the College of Optical Sciences offers one of the best examples in all of Tucson.)

Website Redesign: International Environmental Law and Policy
June 17th, 2010Ted Parson is Joseph L. Sax Collegiate Professor of Law and Professor of Natural Resources & Environment at the University of Michigan. His research examines international environmental law and policy, the role of science and technology in public policy, and the political economy of regulation.
I just finished redesigning his website, TedParson.com:
The site summarizes Dr. Parson's research, teaching, publishing, and policy advice. You can also catch up on his latest news and enjoy a string quartet performance. (He's a former professional cellist.)
The photo in the page headers is one of mine. It shows a late afternoon rain falling on Kicking Horse Pass in British Columbia.

Website Redesign: Applied Biosciences PSM Degree Program
June 24th, 2009Earlier this year, I was asked to redesign the website of the University of Arizona Professional Science Master's Degree in Applied Biosciences. The site serves as a student recruiting tool, and it combines UA campus scenes with information on degree requirements, career opportunities, and application procedures.
Applied Biosciences PSM students can specialize in any area of the life sciences, drawing on the resources of over a dozen biological science departments in multiple colleges on the Tucson campus and Arizona Health Sciences Center.

June 15th, 2009Longtime client Sheila Tobias has made an art and a science of being an outsider to science and mathematics. Hers is a household name for books like Overcoming Math Anxiety, which is still in print more than 30 years after publication. She's also the author of They're not Dumb, They're Different, Breaking the Science Barrier, and Rethinking Science as a Career.
In conjunction with the release of her latest book, Science Teaching as a Profession, I redesigned her website. The new site provides information about her math and science education research and consulting, and lists her presentation topics. It also conforms to Web Standards.
Here is a before-and-after look at Sheila Tobias' site...

January 13th, 2009Nutrigenomics draws on research in nutrition, genetics, and several other scientific fields. Although nutrigenomics is fairly new, there is a great demand for collaboration, training and education.
I just finished working with Randy Burd, Ph.D., who is on the faculties of the University of Arizona, University of Buffalo, and Thomas Jefferson University, on an online nutrigenomics course. This was a combination Web design and photography project. The fruits and vegetables were very cooperative -- and tasty -- photographic subjects.
The screenshot you see below is from the course's public website:
There also is another version that is part of the University of Arizona's online course system. Access is restricted to enrolled students.

Website Design: Financial Investigations
August 8th, 2008Do you have some old stock certificates laying around the house? Well, don't throw them away! They could be worth a lot of money.
Stock Search International has helped investors recover millions of dollars from old stocks and bonds thought to be worthless. This Tucson-based company has been a Web design client since the late 1990s, and they recently returned for a website redesign.
This redesign wasn't as drastic as some I've done. What was needed was a recoding of the existing site so that it meets Web Standards. The new version downloads much faster than its predecessor, and that was one of our goals.
We also wanted to make the home page work for visitors who are in a hurry. In just a few seconds, they can see what Stock Search is and does, then choose from one of the company's three services:
- The Database of Companies No Longer Listed. This unique research tool features more than 40,000 fully updated reports and includes information on stock splits, stock dividends, name changes, mergers, acquisitions, availability of funds and contacts to initiate recoveries.
- Initiate New Research. You'll be in good hands with Stock Search because they track down 97% of the companies they investigate. In fact, their reports are recognized by both the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Historical Market Quotes. Stock Search provides historical stock market quotes to establish the cost basis of investments for tax purposes.
Although many site owners try to think of ways to keep visitors glued to their site, I think this is a losing battle. People have lots of other things to do besides spending hours on a website. It's up to us as Web designers to help visitors accomplish their goals as quickly as possible.
