    Meyer Accounting & Tax

    Project Summary

    The original project, started in 2012, was to design a new company website for Meyer Accounting & Tax. The new website featured a completely new layout and design which was designed to better suit the current needs of the business, primarily the need to expand other services and appeal to new clients.

    The Problem

    The company’s old website was outdated, not user-friendly, focused only on one aspect of the business, and did not appeal to younger generations. A complete redesign of the website was necessary to fix these issues and to meet the company’s business needs. The new website utilized more modern website design methodologies to improve the look, feel, and organization of the site to make it more accessible and user-friendly.

    The original website used an old-fashioned table format.
    The first website I made allowed the client to expand their business.

    The Solution

    A main feature of the redesign made all content accessible with one or two clicks, without unnecessary content pages that merely redirect to other pages without offering new content. The new layout featured new pages and information that was used to expand the company’s payroll, accounting, and other services for business clients. It also included features to appeal to a younger market, which the company wished to expand into to keep up with the number of tax clients lost annually due to retirement, such as a sleeker layout with pictures and updated graphics, a link to allow visitors to “like” the company’s Facebook page, and a page for company newsletters.

    Many of these added features were preserved when I redesigned and rebuilt the site in 2018 to give it a refreshed user experience and take advantage of new improvements in web design (HTML5 and CSS3). In addition to adding mobile support, an Admin Area was added to allow the business owners to update the content of the site and upload newsletters to be emailed to subscribed users.

    The first website I made wasn’t responsive (but had a separate mobile version).
    The new website is responsive and looks much more modern and professional.

    The Anigrams Notebook

    Project Summary

    The Anigrams Notebook is a personalized worldbuilding website designed to allow me to keep track of notes, images, and inspiration for my games in a way that I can access from any computer in the house. It was based on a service called Notebook.ai, but with custom features I added to make my own workflow easier.

  • Anigrams Support

    Anigrams Support

    Project Summary

    For my final project at Centriq Training, I built a “ticket support tracker.” It was designed to keep track of errors that users may encounter while using any of the games or websites that I’ve built. It utilizes ASP.NET MVC 5 architecture and a data access layer using Entity Framework to manage and persist data to a SQL Server database.

    Users can log in to submit issues, post comments, send messages to other users, and edit their profile and preferences. I can then review, edit, and resolve issues that users submit, providing detailed documentation for the errors and how they were fixed. This documentation of errors and their fixes is meant to aid in faster error resolution in the future.

    Users can sign up to see and enter support tickets.
    The Dashboard gives an overview of support tickets in progress.
    The Projects page lists all the projects supported by the system.
    The Tickets page lists all the support tickets that have been entered.
    A ticket can be in one of several statuses that indicate progress.

    Users can send in-app messages to each other.
    The Contact page allows users to reach out to Customer Support.
