Graphic & Web Design

Graphic design had been the backbone of my commercial artwork, but in March 1995, when I saw a website on the new technology called World Wide Web, I knew that print graphics would take a back seat in the future. I figured out the software by August and had my first site built and invoiced in October. Over the years, I built static sites and developed my .php skills to build dynamic interactive sites. My last client-based commercial sites were operational until about 2019. This is an archive of a few of the graphics programs & websites I developed over the years.
