The following few pages are examples of
Jim's websites.
Hopefully they may assist you in your
research. Please feel free to
visit any or all of them.
In the right column, the times, in
approx. hours,
refer to the accumulated amount
used in developing the total
website.
These times are not very
accurate as, with most of the
jobs, time was not a
consideration. However, you might
find them helpful for budget
preparation.

graphics, colour, music
|
The
Canadian Scottish Rite organization enjoys a
membership from across Canada. Being part of the
Freemasonry family, they participate in ritual
with a colourfully dramatic flare. I felt the
theme of this site should demonstrate that
flare. Creating many symbolic graphics, applying
some heavenly music, and using uncomplicated
navigation, the job was handled successfully.
Over 300,000 visitors to date. It is a prime example of
a yesterday's design, (1998), having the legs to
last for over nine years. Amazingly, there is
still no desire to alter the original
appearance. |

handling vast information
 |
This
Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario
website has been active since 1998 with
modifications over the years. The content is
updated daily, and the main graphic is
re-designed often in order to represent the
Grand Master's latest speech. More than half a million visitors have
benefited from the over '500' pages of information. Due to this vast amount of
information, and the need for easy
navigation, this site's content presentation is controlled
by implementing a seamless frames construction.
I have just turned the maintenance of this site
over to a younger brother as it was growing
faster then I expected. |

keeping your user in mind
 |
Still within the Masonry family, this District
Masonic website set the example for 46 other
Masonic districts in Ontario and is an award
winner. Using blue hues, to represent their
Craft Lodges, and gold for the Muskoka-Parry
Sound sunsets, it is another fine example of
using theme colours, and unique graphics to
represent their message. The use of simple, but
stylish, navigation; was implemented
keeping their membership's abilities in mind -many
of whom are PC newbies. The use and popularity
of this website has grown remarkably in the last
year. |

sharing resources
 |
The
Waubuno Shrine Club, and the Muskoka Shrine Club
share a site with the above Muskoka-Parry Sound
District Masons, thus offering economy, shared
resources; along with sharing each others
visitors, guest book, and links. And yet, each group still maintains their unique
identities.
If your company or organization has a similar
opportunity then this concept should be kept in
mind. The approximate time shown on the right is
an example of the time spent on
design and graphics for the Waubuno Shrine Club
portion.
Note: the Scottish Rite and Shrine websites use
music to enhance their unique character, however
music is not generally recommended to be used in
commercial or institutional websites -as many
find it annoying. |

The
Heritage Lodge No. 730 website, this lodge is
part of Grand Lodge and their importance is in
saving the heritage of Freemasonry by archiving
documents, speeches, etc. Several hundred
members strong, this lodge is open to all Master
Masons of Ontario to join and make use of in
their studies. It is constructed within frames
and utilizes content navigation on both sides of
the main frame to allow ease of flow and future
document archiving. |

The
Barrie Valley Scottish Rite website uses a black
background with graphics embedded into the
background so that other graphics can be placed
over them thus creating a dimensional look.
Completely done in html this site uses tables,
cells and scripted cells offering a modern
looking theme but using older methods of web
design. If I hadn't of told you, you would not
have known. |
