    Example's of my work.

    Web Sites                                                       _________________________

    This is an example  made with Net Objects Fusion which can be easily altered. The color scheme and icons  would be selected to portray a business's image.

    This is a large web site with over 300 pages.

    A greeting-card site.

    This site was made for a customer that wanted to be able to maintain it, & they requested that I keep it simple for that reason.

    OPTIONS                                                        _________________________
    Sample of  CGI &   JAVA  Rotating applets, panorama applet, guest book, graphic banner.

    Video  made with Realpublisher.  This video would 'stream' if placed on a server that supported Real Audio Streaming.  My server does not support streaming.    Streaming video downloads at the same time as it is being viewed.  Also available is the Real Slide Show, with this program it is possible to incorporate slides/pictures, audio can be added to individual slides.

    Real audio/video server fees are approximately double a standard ISP/Server.  With the mass broad band technology on the horizon it would seem prudent to use a 'Real' Server if your company would benefit from the use of slides or videos on your web page.

    A slide show that uses a rotation applet with 'how-to' instruction.  It takes approximately 60 seconds to download.

    An ONLINE cam shot, which automatically updates every 10 seconds . . only when the video camera is actually turned on.


    I received an A grade for an English Composition Internet course taken at Shasta College.
    This web page shows my three essays and term paper.
