That’s what I am calling it. I am currently redesigning the website for the Online Degree programs university, Saint Dominic University as their one is now outdated. I want to keep the main color palette they used and incorporate a professional, modern yet artistic feel to the site and while doing so, not losing that educational touch. I think as there are many university websites, and almost as many online university websites, that they have to stand out, be original, unique, and that’s what I am doing with the stdu.org website.

Their logo will remain the same but I plan to incorporate it into the header I create, maybe make it look a little more modern for the website rather than a corporate stamp. After I am done with the site who knows, I may myself take an MBA course there!

For the friends emailing me constantly and commenting, I really appreciate your support, promise new blogger themes and WP themes are coming up really soon as wee as a logo design tutorial because I got several requests already!

There are TONS of music blogs and forums, I can list a 100 of the top ones out there today, and none of them will look like anything I would ever browse. If you do a search for Music Forum the top few results have cool content on the sites but the design is so bad it makes me feel ill. Why do big industries like this and big sites too, not focus on the design and look/feel or there websites/blogs/forums?

I don’t know, but I do know this, one person that always launches a site in style, is Michael Kane, who recently started a new Music Forum, that he plans to create a music network out of, like a huge social music network. His site www.blastingmusic.com focuses on Music alone, muse for real music lovers, serious ones too. I love this community and even more the design and cool vibe it gives off. The colors scream out creative, brave and at the same time calm. MK has done it again. The online music industry is about to get what I call as, MK Syndrome!

We all know Michael Kane as one of the most creative and most friendly Web Developers and site owners alive. He has helped more people online than I can think of how to count and everyone knows, is one of the best SEOs and marketing Gurus around, that loves to never brag but we now see a different Michael Kane in his blog towards LoopFuse Marketing where he speaks back at their rude behavior towards a friend of Michael Kane’s who simply gave a review of the product, and it was not a bad one too.

We are all surprised but pleased to know that Michael would stick up for his friends, he has before but this makes me personally feel very secure to have such a talented powerful friend like Mike. I don’t know of anyone that would, or could effect Mike in any way, the guy who owns over 2,000 domains and runs over 400 websites most of which i can only dream of reaching their success, he is not a force to be reckoned with as you say.

Mike you are an amazing guy, and I show you so much respect here for always being there for your friends even when you have so much work and are so busy. A fun guy you are, but people should realize that behind every calm river hides rapids that can crush…i’m not a poet but i think my words spoke enough about mike here.

I have created maybe 10 free logos so far, banners and stuff too. Why? Because MK said so! This is the thing, I know I get around 500-900 unique readers a day depending on the day of the week, most love ANYTHING that’s free, you guys would probably eat a blackhat fish if it was free. So go join me and the rest of the guys over at ShoutingZone and check out the Get A Free Logo thread I started! You wont be disappointed!

I don’t know how long this will last but soon after it’s over i’ll be starting a Free Wordpress Blog Theme thread for all of you lovely people! Now what are you waiting for you mini me blackhat fishies! Go check it out!

There’s absolutely nothing worse than those long scrolling landing pages. Those one page sites that take you hours to scroll to the bottom of, only to end up scrolling all the way back without a single clue of what it is you’re reading or trying to find. That’s bad business right there!

I have now designed a simple yet stylish, functional landing page that minimizes scroll and helps you organize your content in a way that users wont be scared to hang around on your page. I have also left a spot for ads, or possibly a newsletter form or contact/registration form.

It’s really very simple, if it looks professional, chances are users will last longer on your page. To give you an example, I was hired by www.America.edu recently to setup a quick landing page for one of their free student services, the real estate virtual assistant page. See how simple and organized it looks? What more can you want out of a landing page. This one in particular I have copyrighted, and it comes in different styles, there’s the horizontal navigation version of the design, and the vertical one. There’s also one with 2 wide columns and one with 4! Trust me, even with a 4 column theme it looks hot!

It’s all about what works, and what does not. You want to convert regular users into potential clients, the only way you’ll do that is with my killer landing page designs. (Landing page designs start at just $75 - email me for more information at)

Free Blogger Themes. It all started after a close friend asked me to cook up a quick Blogger theme for her. I did and it was so easy I went ahead and made a few more. I’ll add them on a daily, or bi daily basis for you guys to download. I’ll only be able to provide a screenshot not a live demo, so please, if you end up coming across a little bug in any, let me know and i’ll fix them.

This is the one I made for my friend just the other day. I’ll add more complex better designed templates later on. Feel free to drop me a comment if you have any requests or would like to see a Wordpress theme transformed into a Blogger theme!

Remember i’m providing this absolutely free, so please leave a link back to me on your blog.

Download a theme and get blogging!

This Vacation related site was redesigned recently. The layout, as with my trademark style was clean, professional and made it easy to setup a content filled site yet still look organized. 3 days was that time taken to design this site.

After designing this site I had a good friend translate content for me, and realized I had a lot of sections mixed up, took me almost a day to correct it all! Lesson learned! I don’t know why most of my clients these days are polish, or British, it could be my old websites ranking keywords.

Sound Box took several days to complete. The clients only wanted a PSD design and they wanted something robust, for a content filled site. 8 layouts were designed and 2 color schemes created for this theme.

I always enjoy designing music templates although I really don’t know why. Maybe it’s my passion for music that drives me to design music related websites. Who knows!

I’m listening to Enya right now! ya!

Recently I took on a role in an animation project for the site www.dnscammers.com

I was asked to design the [dot] in dnscammers[dot]com and their animation team worked on the animated version of my logo. You can see my logo in their splash page preview here.

The design work took around 4 hours, it works on both dark and light colored backgrounds. It was based off a black marble concept with 2 glass equator like striped running around each ‘pole’.
