These links open in new windows to show the HTML, CSS, and JS prototypes or proofs of concept. These are not fully functional web sites...many links and details are for position only, though these were eventually built into sites that went live. In some cases involving 100s pages built around these prototype templates.

These web designs and code may be owned by others as works for hire and they appear here only to demonstrate my work. They should not be copied, saved, or distributed.
