cliff dutton web DESIGN

I prefer simple and bold web site design and tend to avoid glaring white backgrounds. Some clients rely on my eye for design while others have a vision of their site so it becomes a collaboration between the client and myself.

Have a web site in mind? E-mail me with your ideas.

Listed below are some web sites I have done and their descriptions listed from most recent to oldest.

Twin Ford Farm Still under construction, this site is completely layed out with CSS. Even the things that look like tables, the column of pictures and the navaigation bar, are CSS elements. Nothing fancy here but fixed header and footer make it interesting and some non-essential fixed images outside the boarders fill some blank space for viewers with larger monitors. Only the content scrolls within the fixed elements.
Blue Ridge Outfitters This is fishing guide site that gets much of it's traffic from Orvis. This site has seen multiple upgrades, the latest being a flash movie. It also links to two more Blue Ridge Outfitters pages I made: Guided Bird Hunts and Kayak/Canoe Rentals
Fish House Designs A site for Donna Claytor's Floor Clothes. Her beautiful art work is viewable in a photo gallery where her paintings can be scene in various sizes including full screen, essential for presenting such detailed art. The site also incorporates two WordPress Blogs: one for news and one for events.
Chittenden Dammers Snowmobile Club An efficient and economical site that incorporates CSS and off site web services including: photo sharing (Smug Mug), forum news and trail conditions blogs (Word Press).
Vermont Maple Leaves An artistic site with styled text and CSS positioning instead of tables. I even included an animated gif on the home page. The client provided me with some beautiful graphics and I enjoyed editing them to fit the site.
Chittenden Historical Society A volunteer job project for the town historical society. Older style achieved with fonts and colors yet provided modern function with java script and CSS.
Zen Garden Demo This site was a learning experience and demonstration of what can be done with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Though still not submitted to the CSS Zen Garden site as it still has bugs in some versions of Internet Explorer, I present it here because people have made some great comments about it.
Dutton Construction A home builder site that also uses java script to change images. It links to the owner's photo site where the owner can create and edit his own photo albums of construction projects.
Romancing the Stone A jewelry site that uses java script to change a photo by mousing over thumbnails. See the Galleries.
