Marc has been creating web pages for fun and business since 1995. Below is a list of websites that he has designed or supported in some way. He started creating most websites through text editors using raw HTML coding but in recent years have become proficient with HTML design tools such as FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver. The following are some examples of sites Marc worked on for Michelangelo.com. He was responsible for the actual "building" of these three sites. This means that first a graphic artist created a mock-up of the site in PhotoShop, then he used ImageReady to break up the PhotoShop file into individual graphics for use on the web. Content for these sites was provided by the clients, but he often had input on the layout and structure of the site itself. It was also often his call whether to use frames or not, as well as to specify font styles and colors and to set style sheet specifications. This is just a small sampling of the sites he worked on for Michelangelo.com.
- Infidelity.com, The Infidelity Support Network
- This project, modeled closely after sites such as women.com and ivillage.com, is a wealth of information for both men and women facing the difficulty of infidelity, divorce, and other marital problems. The site includes an interactive message board system (Ultimate Bulletin Board), four chat rooms, and a Cart32 shopping cart system. The site is now maintained and updated by the client.
- The Global Knowledge Partnership
- This project was a site redesign, intended to streamline GKP's current website and ease navigation. The site is now maintained by GKP and W3 Internet Services (but don't let the footer fool you... Michelangelo.com was unfortunately not properly credited for our design work here).
- International Defense Consultants, Inc.
- This news magazine-style website was designed to be straightforward and easy to navigate. Unfortunately the client (who now manages the site) likes to go a little crazy with photos, and his news articles get longer each day. Still, this site is aesthetically-pleasing and easy to navigate. Be sure to note the "watermarked" backgrounds (in IE), some of which were created by Marc.
