Portfolio Site – Sarah Shipley
I have completed a couple of sites recently and one of those I have had the honor working on is that of Sarah Shipley, a copywriter and producer I met during my time working in New York City. Sarah was looking for a simple site to show her work. Many times an artist looking for a portfolio site will build an overly complex Flash site with too many bells and whistles. To show off one’s work, leave add-ons for sites that show off the web; your site is meant to show off you and your work.
Head on over and check out Sarah’s work!

It is a tradition around here that I redesign my website every couple of months because I can’t stand whatever insane overly complex design I come up with for more than a week or two. I update the ugly, usually dark, page for a month and then give up. But this time I am trying something different. I stripped down the site to the bare essentials. Also I changed the location of the site as staying with wjkrape.com would have been a bad idea. Having a SEO friendly url isn’t too tricky when you have a unique name. If you can have your firstnamelastname.com do so.
Much of the old content is unavailable, it’ll be fixed as I go, but more importantly I’ll be adding a significant amount of content related to my animated short in development, “Relax.”
I made this simple site to host all my thoughts on my upcoming film(s hopefully.) Not everything I post in the coming weeks will be well written but it will feature some smashing images.
