ArkansasHSA.com Website

Here is another website I work on at my job, its called ArkansasHSA.com. It’s a informational website for HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) for Arkansas State Employees and Arkansas Public School Employees. The before and after images are below and there are a few things I updated on the site I want to point out. I updated the banner of the page with CU3ER once again because its just so easy to use and really professional looking, and it doesn’t take much time to setup. Also, I updated the navigation of the website, which is really important because iI a user can’t find what they are looking for on the site then you have a huge problem. I used Pro Dropdown 2, which is a really nice free dropdown navigation, if you use it just make sure to keep all the copyright information in the CSS and Javascript files provided. The nice thing about it is that its cross browser compatible and really easy to use and easy to create your own style. Also, the layout was fluid before which made the page stretch out way to far and just made the site look old to me, so I made it have a static width of 1024px and created a simple background for it and moved some other stuff around on the pages. The image on the left is the after picture and the image on the right is the before, sorry they aren’t the other way around but on my portfolio page I have a Flash script to grab the first image in the post to display and I wanted the ‘After image’ to show up.

Health Savings Accounts Website

I have just finished redesigning and developing another website for DataPath. HSA223.com is an informational website about HSAs (Health Savings Accounts). The redesign image is on the left and how it looked before is on the right. I implemented CU3ER into the banner of the website where I created all the graphic and slides for it. I also changed the navigation using some simple javascript and CSS to handle it all. I think overall it looks cleaner and more up to date, and it’s easier to use, and the pages are lighter weight. Finally, I converted all the table formatting in the pages to use div’s.

To increase SEO of the site, we updated the text, added meta descriptions, added Google Analytics stat tracking, and I validated all the pages.

CU3ER – A Free Flash 3d Image Slider

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:11:46 +0000

I just heard about a free flash 3d image slider creator called CU3ER. It looks amazing, its free to use in your own and commercial projects, its customizable by XML, and you can tailor any of the transitions and several other things to make it your own. I am in the process of creating my first template to sell on ThemeForest, another Envato Marketplace website, and I am definitely going to use it. Art director and designer Stefan Kovac came up with it and much thanks goes out to him for such an awesome utility.
