About the Web Design

He gets down and dirty with the work need in the background, but is clean and charming in the foreground.  Combining hard-hat imagery on one hand with grace and elegance needed for political arenas  in the other hand seems to be a very tall order. The slider images deliver images of dirt and construction, but also highlights the clients services that he offers..

Usability Problem Solved

We used stock images for the callouts on the home page and I really liked how they looked but discovered a usability problem after launching.  The callouts looked pretty, but they didn’t look clickable. How to keep the pretty images so carefully placed but still tell people they are buttons at the same time? I went back and added the triangle arrow to the callouts to give a visual clue that there is more information to be had.

BEFORE:  Callout is clickable, but the user doesn’t know that.

AFTER: Added arrow hints to user there is more information to be found
