Web Projects – Offline

Web site’s name: Canisterapeuticka asociace (Canine Therapy Association)
Status: Offline
This version created: 2005
Language versions: Czech, English
Web site size: over 50 pages
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.
Web site’s name: Arena Hostel
Current status: Off line
This version created: 2004
Language versions: English, German, Portugese, Spanish, Croatian
Web site size: over 200 pages
Description: A well maintained, friendly hostel in Prague, run by a dedicated owner-couple. This successful hostel was merged with a larger hostel chain that had a central website.
My involvement: Copy writing, site structure, web design, photo editing, targeted search engine optimization.
Notes: 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.
Web site’s name: Garden EARTH
Current status: Unfinished / Offline
This version created: 2003
Language versions: English, Czech
Web site size: over 30 pages
Description: An organic farm startup in Southern Moravia. Site included photo galleries, maps etc.
My involvement: Site structure, web design (logo by Ken Nash), photo editing, basic search engine optimization
Notes: 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.
Web site’s name: Translationship.com
Current status: Off line
This version created: 2003
Language versions: English
Web site size: over 200 pages
Description: Translations to and from over 180 languages, unique services powered by the Kenax network of translators.
My involvement: Copy writing, site structure, web design, targeted search engine optimization.
Notes: A complex site with descriptions of nearly 200 languages. Services are now run directly through Kenax.
Web site’s name: MishaWeb.com
Current status: Unpublished / Off line
This version created: 2003
Language versions: English
Web site size: over 50 pages
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 is 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.
Web site’s name: Corn Husk Dolls
Current status: Unfinished / Offline
This version created: 2003
Language versions: English
Web site size: 6 pages
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.
