We conceptualize navigation, design graphics and animation with low connection speeds in mind, but We also believe the web audience wants to have a fun visual experience...

as long as they don't have to wait too long.

We deal primarily with html and Flash animation, but also outsource for database programming in conjunction with our design expertise.

The following are a few examples...

Fairview Sales, Inc. -
www.fairviewsales.com

Just a site with clean, easy to use navigation with some mouse-over actions. A clean solid look to portray the TYM, FERRIS and other lawn tractors, mowers, and farm equipment.

Louie Dominion's Deals on Wheels -
www.yestodealsonwheels.com

This site consists of an animated home page, yet loads at a reasonable speed. The pages throughout the site are not as graphics heavy. Louie Dominion's Deals on Wheels is a fun place to shop for a used vehicle, and now he has a website that portrays his identity and displays the used vehicle inventory online.

Schwetty Balls™ Golf Balls -
www.schwettyballs.com

Basically, all I did on this site is the header graphic design based on the programmers navigation dimensions. I designed the logo and package design for the golf ball.

Ground Effect Website -
www.groundeffect.org

This website I built in May 2005 for Ground Effect, a rockin' heavy metal band out of Michigan's Great Southwest. A good opportunity for both of us...I think the website looks sweet captures the personality of the band. Listen for them, they're good.

Eric Bradford Website 2005 - Present -
www.eric-bradford.com

Welcome to the new eric-bradford.com website. No need to click the link, you're already here!
Back in February 2005, after over two years of nothing but designing for print, I went to my website and became motivated by the fact that my site had not changed in years. I also wanted improve my online art portfolio so I could continue my momentum of finding mural and illustration work. I will be making improvements to this site, but this is it, and I like it, but let me know what you think. eric@eric-bradford.com

Eric Bradford Website 2002 - 2005 -
www.ericbradford.com/Old_Sites/corpsite/

I threw this site together back in 2002 as a more professional approach from my more zany side. I also wanted to challenge the norms of the web. In my short experience as a web designer I saw a lot of designers simply reinventing the wheel in the name of past web designers while I was seeing a technology boom on the horizon:
Processors that could load graphics faster, and developing faster web connections such as DSL through traditional phone connections and the expansion of broadband.
I saw this as a looming opportunity to get away from the cookie cutter rules of designing with html. Ironically, the supposed 'students' of this field didn't get it. Critics...

Pimphand of the Northside -
eric-bradford.com/Pimphand/

This is the website I will run whenever I make the movie, comic or whatever I decide to do. I came up with the story concept back in 2001, and since has been an off again, on again project.
Look for the Pimphand product someday down the road.

Industrial Quick Search, Inc. -
www.industrialquicksearch.com

This is an industrial manufacturer's online directory, with individual websites designed to optimize keywords and rank well among the search engines for their specific product or industry search terms. Companies pay for listing on the websites, increasing their web traffic to their individual company website via click throughs from the Industrial Quick Search websites. IQS broadens their web exposure and ultimately companies build stronger internet business. It works pretty well actually.
I worked here for nearly two years until late 2002. I did the initial design of the websites and built it up to over 200 sites. The design of the websites has changed very little, so I included it in my web portfolio simply because of my contribution to the success of this company. They haven't built anything really new since I left, but the sites they have maintained have stayed very effective in the search engines.

Here are a few other small projects I've done.
