King-Tek EDM inc.

UI design and development:

I was asked to create a simple, clean design that also featured flash demos, lots of product photo work, and an effective 'walk-through' style that quickly gave customers a clear view of the King-Tek EDM process and facilities. The site is 508 compliant with a css layout in which the javascript degrades gracefully for non-css and jscript users. King-Tek Web Site King-Tek Overview - Flash Presentation

Using 508 compliant xhtml/css/javascript/jsp-template coding to create and maintain validating bullet-proof layouts for the Voltage Key Mgt & Administration UI and ZDM Dashboards.  Cool project: Gmail and other web-mail clients strip out images and external css, so for Voltage SecureMail I created background vectors and shadows using only cross-browser compatible inline CSS.
