"Good web site design is all about designing the navigation so visitors can find what they're looking for—a design that allows the viewer to navigate the site how they want to. The goal is to fit the web site to the visitor's mind, rather than requiring the visitor to figure out how our minds work."
Large Web Sites | $1,500+
Designed with one-click navigation in mind, these sites are very user friendly. Direct navigation from within nested, drop-down menus means visitors can see any page with only one click. Perfect for large web sites.
 |
Willamalane Park DistrictWith the exception of the home page, the Willamalane web site is
designed to only need to be updated on a quarterly basis. With interactive
maps, tabbed navigation, and much more. It contains hidden features
that meet Americans With Disability Act guidelines, making it accessible
for a variety of users. |

Kelly Middle SchoolsThis site serves serveral purposes. Besides
providing information to current and potential families, the entire
staff handbook is also available online, using a special expandable
menu system. |
 |
North Eugene High SchoolThis high school web site has over 350 pages and is is updated
daily. There is also an interactive calendar that is database driven
so that it only needs to be edited once, but then shows up in different
formats in various portions of the site. Very cool! |
 |
Soromundi: Lesbian Chorus of EugeneThis
website has a secure, password-protected section that allows chorus
members to share e-mail lists, phone numbers, rehearsals, costuming,

of communication. |

existing web site and help them develop a system to be able to maintain
the site themselves. |
 |
Oregon Social Learning CenterDesignWorks worked within the guidelines and restrictions set by
the 17-member Scientist Council that leads the work at this reknowned
research center. Among the restrictions was that for the exception
of the "history" page, there were to be no images. Designworks trained
staff to maintain the site. |

the site, created user-friendly templates, and trained school staff
to make updates and additions. The staff had no prior knowledge of
web design. |
 |
Oregon Parks AssociationThis 45+ page web site has a secure, password-protected section
that allows OPA members to view commentary on legislative issues
of interest to them and access membership lists. We trained Association

menu system. The site is template driven so that changes to the menu
or masthead only need to happen once, and they filter through the entire
site. DesignWorks trained staff to maintain the site themselves. |
 |

site isn't large, a considerable amount of time was spent creating
the "cutout" images of ballet poses. We trained the client
to maintain the site herself. She had no previous knowledge of web
design.. |

bulletin board chat forum. Most of the graphics are original images

fusion band. It's all about the jazz and all about the mood. The challenge
in this project was locating images, optimizing the music files, and
getting the band biographies together. |

photos to work with, so site design was a breeze. |
 |
Southwest IndexingIn this particular case,
the client provided ALL of the text, but DesignWorks pulled out interesting
bits and pieces for the sidebars. DesignWorks also found all the images
after instructed that 'southwest' and 'cactuses' must be a part of
the theme. |
 |
SeedBallzPIXThis portfolio site was created
for a client who wholesales her products to garden and home stores.
She needed a way for clients to download various marketing materials
for her products. If you choose to visit this site, you'll find that
you cannot progress beyond the home page without a password. The site
was set up this way to prevent unauthorized download of images. |

you an arm and a leg. Because the client had a relatively clear vision

designed to only need rare updates. |

Would you like to make updates to your web site yourself?
Many people today are choosing to hire a web professional to set up their site so they can maintain parts or all of it themselves. This can include simple text changes, updating graphics, and adding products and updating prices on an e-commerce site.
Designing web sites to be maintained by a non-designer is the most popular type of web site development today. Click here to read more about "self-maintenance."
