Frames Index
This is actually a web design trick most often used now days in large portal sites (if you've seen a link that says "turn off this top frame" you've seen it.) The screen space is shared by one or more frames. Usually the navigation remains stagnant while the "framed" is page is changed. When a link is clicked, it is told to replace the page at the target location. Most of these are catalogged in two indexes, whatever, I thought I would showcase them here also. I don't use this treatment much any more, but was enamored with it during my early career.

Amgen ImageLink Help
My previous experience as a software engineer for multimedia training CDs, came in handy for this assignment - to develop an online help section for Amgen's graphics management software. I learned their software, took the screenshots and wrote the content for this site. I can't take credit for the design, since it had to seamlessly fit into the ImageLink interface. This site used some tricky targeting.

ExperTelligence, Inc.
The first assignment for my new job at ExperTelligence, Inc. was to redesign the corporate web site.This looks like three frames, but it is actually a nested frame treatment with blank pages at the sides. That's why you see the scroll bar that sits close to the content.

Similar graphics are color-coded for five distinct sections of this custom-designed website. It is another nested site that uses percentages to center the site in the the viewer's screen and fill the remainder with black frame pages.

Babbitt's Cottonwood Trading Post
This was my very first web site design - a class assignment for the Webmaster Intensive course. This was my father's business and I had a four-page color brochure that I could use for content. From a design adapted from the indian pottery he sells, I created a custom-designed navigation bar.

ComputerFocus Corporate
Poor navigation and a tired look necessitated the desire for a complete web redesign. The challenge was how to give it a face lift, without an extensive retrofit to the 200+ pages of the "old" site. The inability to print course outlines and class schedules was also a major concern.

ComputerFocus WebDev
Little did I know that when I created a six page site for the ComputerFocus Web Development sales staff that it would "grow" to become a major section of the corporate site. The challenge was how to make the flashier sales side fit together with the more sedate corporate side. Unifying the color scheme, repeating the backgound grid, and utilizing framed navigation would tie the two sites together.

I really like the design of this five-framed site I used for my resume. (Is that the reason I haven't changed it since 2002?) It utilizes percentages to display what is referred to as a liquid design, meaning it stretches to fill the screen. It showcases my portfolio in one long continuous horizontal frame.
