Work Samples  HendricksStudios.com
Ventura based photographer and artist Bill Hendricks came to us to build his portfolio site for showcasing his work. A graduate of the Brooks Institute, Bill is the photo teacher at Ventura College and has written several books.
His many trips abroad, and especially to Cuba, are highlighted here.
Project Summary | visit the site ^
Bill wanted something very complex -- that is, something extremely simple to navigate and maintain. Simple is always harder. We created a custom design and content management system using his design.
   
A Simple Home
The home page for Hendricks' Studios - extremely simple; only three options.
Still
Still photos are displayed here after the user clicks the square
thumbnail on the right. The ordering of images is controlled by the
admin, too.
Not Still
QuickTime movies are displayed on this page -- titled "not still" -- and load within the same window.
Site Administration
The admin for the site uses the TinyMCE HTML editor (a great Open Source project!). Images and movies can be uploaded, and
all text can be edited including page titles and meta data.

Testimonials
"Over the past several years that I’ve worked with Drew in varying
capacities – including as my professor, project manager and colleague –
he’s always shown me to be tireless in his work ethic, dedicated to the
project at hand, and excellent in client relations and staff
training/orientation. Drew is not afraid to adopt new technologies or
explore unfamiliar territory. In fact, Drew welcomes these
opportunities.
Drew is always looking for ways to make systems,
processes and workflows more streamlined, logical and user-friendly
than the way he found them. Drew is an excellent and patient teacher
and mentor. His approach to co-workers, counterparts and people in
general is one that meets each at her or his skill level and degree of
understanding, and then provides them the tools and knowledge needed to
become self-managing. Thanks to Drew, I now have a love affair with
open-source technologies."
