Websites - Older and Currently Offline Projects
The web changes so dynamically, that
many projects are no longer online and yet they each have a
story. Whether they have disappeared or simply been redesigned, what
you find
here are samples from the past.
Designs are presented as "frozen" snapshots
of sample pages. You can see a full size picture, but it's not
"clickable". Practically all my designs were originally made to fit
different screen sizes and had various animation features. For a
more interactive experience, see my current online websites
here.
Web Projects - Offline
Description:
|
The official website of the Czech Canine Therapy
Association,
an umbrella coalition of 17 organizations providing dog-therapy
for facilities in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately,
the organization no longer exists.
|
My involvement:
|
Graphic design, photo editing, some text editing,
some translation
|
Notes:
|
Before I took over this site, it was designed by the
director's 14 year old son. After all CTA is a non profit
and he actually did a pretty good job for a teenager.
Since many members said they rather liked it, I stuck
to the original color scheme and the new logo. But I
felt we needed some dog pics in there and they were
well received.

hostel was merged with a larger hostel chain that
had a central website.

Arena was one of my larger projects, a multi-lingual
site with many informative and interesting pages. Arena
Hostel has since been physically renovated, upscaled
and subsequently run by a German hostel chain.

I have no idea if this project ever took off, but
I like the design, so here it is. It was the first time
I utilized the technique of 3D scanning for a design.
The layout is composed from a fern, birch bark and mushroom.

Description:
|
My own site dedicated to web design, content development
and consulting services.
|
My involvement:
|
All texts, web design, basic search engine optimization.
|
Notes:
|
This site was 70% complete and I decided not
to publish it. I simply never got to it and now it needs
re-working.
For one thing, it still has my maiden name in the letterhead.
But it's a fun design, composed from a real picture of
my corkboard, using Ken Nash's cartoons, my favorite
quotes etc. One day, I might get to it, for now, the
work will have to speak for itself.

Description:
|
Small online store featuring handmade Eastern European
corn-husk dolls.
|
My involvement:
|
Photography, texts, web design
|
Notes:
|
My friend's mother makes these beautiful dolls and
I tried to see if we could sell them online, but the
project never took off. I only started to develop
this website, but
I think the animation is nice and the
background, made from corn husks, is kind of cool.

Description:
|
Sports Bar in downtown Prague with state-of-the-art
screens and equipment.
|
My involvement:
|
Copy writing, some photos, map, graphic design (except
logo), basic search engine optimization.
|
Notes:
|
When I started working on this site, Legends just
got its new logo and menus. I created a site design based
on those to support strong branding. HTML web design
doesn't allow many curves and swooshes, but I tried to
give it grace and sportiness. After a few years, the
bar changed hands and was renamed to The Dubliner.
