Blaha Apartment Search

http://www.blahalife.com/apartments

This site was created to provide a more efficient means of searching for apartments online. This was a personal project so that I could perform my job better. The top section uses Google Custom Search to search different types of specific websites instead of all of Google’s database. The first search box searches management and community websites so that I can search the official websites first. The second box searches common ad sources where apartment communities will list themselves. The third searches only Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to see if the community being searched for is listed on common social networks.

The bottom section only uses the zip code to pull up several common ad sources with the zip code searched for so that I can search the results personally for the community. There were plans for the rest of the boxes below, but they have not been completed yet.

JoyUnderTheSun.com

http://www.joyunderthesun.com

This website was created for a client who wanted a place to be able to share thoughts, recipes, crafts, and her Mary Kay business. She asked for dark color scheme with an element relating to the sun. She chose the theme and I created the background and logo to go with the site. I chose colors that might go with the theme and would work with the type of color scheme that she wanted.

Plugins were used to be able to facilitate her recipes that she shares and a plugin for the Etsy account that she will be using to sell her crafts. Furthermore, a plugin was used to display her latest items shared on Pinterest in the sidebar as she requested.

Technology: Adobe Illustrator, WordPress
