This page showcases a few completed Web projects that effectively met the client's needs. Through the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG), we build faster loading Web sites that maintain compliance with most Web browsers. On average, these Web sites contain 10% HTML, 85% CSS, and 5% javascript. In some cases the Web site is database driven through the use of PHP and MySQL.

Top of the Line Tax Service was making a push into online and in-classroom instruction for aspiring tax preparers. The layout for apex1040.com needed to emphasize confidence and knowledge of state and federal tax preparation. As images were not a necessity, an effective layout was balanced with complimentary colors and informative but functional icons.

The last requirement was a submission form that potential students could complete online, print, and mail in with payment. With the layout complete, and a Google Ad Campaign implemented to increase online traffic, class was now in session.

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Trauma Services Adaptation Center (TSAC) for Schools in conjunction with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the RAND Corporation, was beginning a nationwide effort to improve the quality, effectiveness, and availability of early intervention and prevention services delivered to all school children. It was decided the perfect vehicle for disseminating information would be a Web site with an integrated message board to collaborate with colleagues. Additional needs included labeling and duplication of, and designing the packaging for, 300 DVD's.

graphics L.A. was awarded the contract to assist the TSAC, UCLA and RAND team. The cooperative strategy included;

• create the branding (logo)
• design, label, duplicate and package "Students & Trauma" DVDs
• develop a unique and dynamic Web presence
• design and imprint several hundred promotional items

Upon completion of the branding and the DVD project, the tsaforschools.org Web development project was taken to a new level with not only effective layout and graphical appeal, but a database driven back-end control panel that allowed registered members to add, modify, and delete content directly from the Web site (see "Services/Web Development" for more information). This on-the-fly approach was a huge plus for a team of experts who needed to 'spread-the-word' as quickly as possible and keep colleagues across the nation updated on current events.

Outside of the occasional database maintenance, our approach effectively freed the client from a path most Web developers prefer - create such a complicated Web site that the client is practically held hostage when changes need to be made.
