Erick came to us with another (yet to be completed) project and decided to have us overhaul and host his business site… and so began an awesome relationship. We’re now working on three projects with Erick!

For Erick’s site we wanted to create a professional yet approachable vibe. We went with a clean minimalist design and drew up a couple of characters to get the key message across. Erick wanted to convey a little of his “techy” side, which is how we ended up with the pencil behind the ear.

The splash page “talk to me” link is highlighted as the call to action using dimension, color and shape.

We added some fancy javascript for the site search form and to pull in his latest tweets for the splash and blog pages (filtering out replies and retweets).

Some custom category handling allows Erick to quickly post new thumbnails to the press and project galleries on his “My Work” page.
