The guys at Bumper Solutions, who travel all up and down the Southern California freeways to repair minor fender benders with ease, have decided to "re-instate" the website I designed for them last year. I'm not sure why they had me redirect to http://bumperone.com, but so it was.

Check out their site at http://bumpersolutionsd.com.

Today! If you're in the neighborhood (or are willing to drive distances for great food, like I am) indulge yourself while doing something nice.

... it still surprises me that it took me over 24 hours to hear of J.D. Salinger's death.

But wait, you're saying, it doesn't make phone calls.

The guys over at ARK Design commissioned me to execute the redesign of their website, www.arkdesign-us.com. The redesign was done by Nick at SpinCycle, and I implemented the e-commerce, news blog, and custom scripting for locating dealers by address. Of course, the content management system is still in beta, but it was time to get it out into the "real world" part of the testing cycle. Check them out and buy some of those cool ass R8 wheels.

The Mandarin Garden website was looking a little stale, so I redesigned it and rebuilt the whole thing into the Joomla CMS with a bunch of custom features instead of the hand-coded PHP that it was running before.

Check out their new site at http://mandaringardensd.com and sign up for coupons and specials in their mailing list. The food is good - I actually took payment of the redesign in salt and pepper chicken trays! Yummy!

Ok, so the site looks like ass.

Finally, another website project has "gone live." *
