Project: Web design, development, and video

The goal of the redesign of ArthurAshe.org was to make the legacy of the tennis legend and social activist Arthur Ashe available to a worldwide audience.

Work began on the project by developing a content strategy for the rich archive of Ashe writings, articles, and audio-visual materials.

Direction for the design and technical implementation flowed from the desire to make the website both visually-rich and easily accessable.

Project: Blog customization, graphic design, and content development

Delivering a daily dose of snark, Contemptster.com was designed for a NYC-based group of comedy writers.

Leveraging the open-source WordPress platform, a custom console was created that would allow the writers and content staff to easily publish articles, create interactive polls, and manage a growing audience of readers.

Using 100% open-source technologies, the end result is a website flexible enough to handle daily updates.

Project: Flash XML Video Player

Services provided: Flash development, XML and content
management integration

Project description: The objective of the 2006 re-launch of AETV.com was to provide a powerful, yet usable, promotional engine for the network. Towards this goal, a simple video player was commissioned that would make embedded video easy to access for users, and easy to deploy for the content managers of the website.

After consultation with the site managers, this Flash/XML solution was developed. Now across AETV.com, relevant and related video is just a click away. And for A&E's web producers, populating videos across the site is as easy as filling out simple
web form.

Finally, what would a successful online video strategy be without ads? The AETV.com Flash/XML player fully supports 3rd party integration of LightningCast technologies (the leading broadband ad-serving network.)

Project: Broadband Video Portal

Services provided: project management, consulting client's internal IT staff, Flash development, and content management system integration

Project description: For this project, I was reunited with the internal IT department who helped bring the massive History Channel video and historical speech archive to life. I provided assistance with the content management strategy and usability throughout the site.

With an accelerated production schedule, the network was able to roll out a product that offers great video content to users in a simple and elegant way that befits the Biography brand.

Project description: A very simple, yet powerful, corporate website for the world famous Rainbow Television Studios in New York City's 11 Penn Plaza. The goals of this Cablevision property were to showcase the many services offered and to drive traffic towards studio rentals and sales.

Additional features include random Javascript placement of case studies that showcase past high-profile production and post-production projects made possible by Rainbow Studios. In addition to the client's external goals, one internal goal was to create a structure in which any employee in the Rainbow offices could upload and modify content. Objective achieved?
