Examples of my work

My last website I did July 2024 I designed the logo too!

A new example website for a fictional pizza place All the content was made by me. The print menu, address, phone number, and domain name are all made up.

This entire page that you're looking at now is an example of a TemplateMonster.com HTML template.
I bought this template, Click here to see the original

This page is to show you how one of these templates works. Specifically, the accordian menu on the top navbar.

None of the links work in this page's menu, it's just to show how the menu works. As you can see, I have customized the menu links with my text titles, changed the colors of the entire page to green, and below the menu I have placed my own images. As well as, using Javascript to remove an upwards arrow that appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen to take the viewer to the top of tha page. Details about TemplateMonster Templates. In the time it takes to design a website, usually about 4 hours for layout from scratch, you can buy one of these templates for $10-$60 and then transfer over your info and pics fairly quickly.
These templates are great if you don't want to spend much money on layout design. Click on the original template link above and you can see how going down the page of the original, there's all kinds of options for design. Each section can be moved around or taken out. This green page was from the original template and everything below the navbar menu was taken out, basically giving me a blank page down to work with, although I did keep the footer.

The images below on this page are an example of the work of myself and the mobile app/computer program from the Adobe Creative Suite "Adobe Express."

I created all of these images within a very short time. As you read about each of these images, I will detail what I did to either customize the template or not customize it. That's what Adobe Express is, it's a template program. This simple logo above for Itapizzacrust.com (a made up example) I created inside Adobe Express and used Google Translate online to come up with a few token words. I decided to make a more layed back pizza place example before the Italian Resturaunt above. Still, I made this logo in Adobe Express. But this logo had to be manipulated in Adobe Photoshop. Notice how the bottom edge of the pizza slice aligns with the yellow bckground as compared to before where it did not. I changed that with a layer and the paint brush tool in Adobe Photoshop. This menu above was all made in Adobe Photoshop. In this logo, or it could be a sticker, I replaced the text with something familiar and the skull was actually entirely a new image from the Adobe Stock inside Adobe Express. I get all these pre-designed templates to choose from and it's as easy as replacing the text, maybe changing the colors, or replacing images, in pre-defined templates of things like logos, cards, resumes, Facebook sized posts, Instagram posts, stickers, resumes, flyers, and brochures. There are more templates too to choose from too. The thing is, these images are great for the web, they come in reduced pixel dimensions, but not so great for print unless I manipulate the image further in Adobe Photoshop or a similar image editing program. With my abilities these templates can serve as basis for creating your intentions for promoting whatever it is your website is all about. By changing just two letters in this logo I came pretty close to the real logo all within 60 seconds. Another logo that I changed to my own idea very quickly but my skill was needed to make this one. I think this logo, with one change I made, is actually very close to something that a professional would like to use very much. I changed the colors from this template to match my text idea, sometimes using one image for another purpose is pleasantly surprising, like this logo turned out. This is a great example of how pre-designed images in Adobe Express can be used for our purposes to make really good and useful looking graphics. With my subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and the client paying me, all these images retain the copyright to the final purchaser which in a client's case, would be you.
