La Araņa

La Arana spins her webs
(La Araņa is my "nom de web",
it is Spanish for "the spider".)

Now that  I have my certificate in Software Applications & Website Design
I figured I'd better have a page to promote myself.  If you've come here
from any of my design links at the bottom of one of the pages I've
developed, I hope that this will give you some of idea of my design
capabilities.

I have several sites live on the Internet already.  Click on any of the links
below to see the various styles.  I am available for contract work and I'm
very reasonable.  You can contact me at:

Casa Mai

My personal site created to promote my hobbies, interests, and 
generally fun stuff.  It's been on line for four years and can be 
viewed at it's own domain
-- www.casamai.com

St. Louis Costumers Guild

Created for this non-profit group to provide them with a web 
presence to promote their art.  On line for about over a year, it can 
be viewed at:
www.casamai.com/slcg/index.html

Jackman's Fabrics

My first commercial site created for a company I worked for 
part-time in sales.  They desperately needed to establish an 
online presence, I need to get my name out there as a designer.  
We worked out a very reasonable rate and worked together to 
develop this site using their design needs and my design talent.
I no longer maintain this site but to view my design work:

  Costume-Con 25, St. Louis 2007
We had so much fun running our last Costume-Con (CC16) that we just 
had
to do it again! Seriously. So we've got a pre-bid site with new 
information on a monthly basis: www.cc25.net
The Axe of Judgement

A personal site created for a friend's birthday, this is just a 
beginning. There will be lots more in the future as the two of us 
work together to shape this site that will be uniquely Karen. 
It can be viewed at: www.casamai.com/axejudge2/index.htm

 

My Online Portfolio
Call them "samples" if you like - some of my school projects created specifically
 to add to my Portfolio.  These aren't actual published websites.
the Dark Side - dedicated to Dark Beauty
The assignment was to create an e-tailer site. so I chose to design an online Goth store. 
(Created in FrontPage)
Casa Mai - the restaurant
No it doesn't really exist but if I did open a restaurant - this is what it's be like.
Created in FrontPage for a school assignment, we had to include directions,
prices, delivery options, etc. 
coming soon - the World of Dance
coming soon -Fly by Night Videos 
The assignment was to create an online presence for a video rental store. We had to include DVD, VHS and Game offerings, policies, directions and some additional special pages. Pretty dull so I designed a very  special rentla company which carried only items with a Vampire theme
Originally created in raw HTML for a school assignment, I've redone it here in FrontPage
coming soon -  Lowriders

Images were liberally "borrowed" from across the web for the above examples (these were
school pieces, remember?) so I apologize in advance for any unauthorized use and will
immediately comply with any request to remove them.
