Spider Silk Design: Web Design Portfolio

Here's a small assortment of sites we've designed over the past nine years. It's by no means a complete list, just a representative sampling:

Acclarion - Accordion & Clarinet Duo: A fresh, eye-catching site for a classical music duo, including a Flash intro, and online sales of downloadable music tracks using a system that generates unique time-limited download links for each sale.
Allemby Management Group Inc.: A clean, crisp site for an executive search firm, incorporating an online content management system so that the client can post new searches through a web-based interface, and job seekers can apply for positions online.
Angela Park: A site for a classical pianist, with simple but elegant design, downloadable music samples, and a PDF press kit.
Awesomewood: (New!) A site for a custom woodworking company, with a warm, organic feel and a classic look. Based on the Drupal CMS, and includes a photo gallery using Gallery 2 embedded in Drupal.
Claudia Ferryman: A site for a motivational speaker offering a series of self-improvement workships and seminars. The look combines earthy, organic tones with evocative images symbolizing the different content areas of the site.
Diversity Accord Associates: A warm, welcoming site for a cultural diversity consultancy.
The DownHome Show: A site for an annual festival of East Coast Canadian culture. Project also included design of downloadable PDF materials and press kit.
Exotic Destinations: A small site for a travel agency, with the visual look adapted from their existing print literature. One of our oldest clients.
Earthtones Painters: (New!) A site for a painting company, using fresh, natural colours, and imagery taken from the founder's nature photography, to reflect the inspiration behind their work.
The Faery's Tub: (New!) An e-commerce site, using the PayPal shopping cart, for a local bath and body products retailer, with a playful, organic, fairy-tale aesthetic.
Judy Sgro, MP: This site, for a federal Member of Parliament, uses the colours of her party and attempts to balance the traditional iconography of a federal government site with a more appealing and eye-catching design.
Juicy Stuff: A bright, colourful online culture and entertainment magazine, based on the Xoops content management system.
Lighting the Path 2007 International Conference: Web site of an upcoming international mental health conference, co-sponsored by three different organizations. A crisp, clean aesthetic, with Toronto-focussed imagery.
Magenta Publishing for the Arts: A site for an arts organization, including an online submission system (PHP and PostgreSQL based) for artists to submit their work for books and exhibitions, and an administrative system for jurors to review submissions. The admin system is not accessible to the public, obviously, but a public version of the database is under development.
Metric Monsters: An online community for riders of Japanese motorcyles, incorporating discussion forums, a photo gallery, and an online store.
Miriam Boon - Science Writer: A simple but visually compelling site for a science writer.
Neosport Photography: A portfolio site for a sports photographer — clean and simple but eye-catching, with a fresh and airy look.
Opinion Source Research Services: A clean and crisp, but eye-catching, site for a market research firm.
Out There Photography: An alternate site for the photographer behind Neosport (see separate listing), for her new portrait photography business. Designed to have some stylistic commonalities with that site to reflect the connection, but a personality all its own.
Steve Stober Photography E-Cards: Although we didn't create its parent site, we designed the e-card section for a Toronto portrait photographer, based on Belchior Foundry's vCard Lite PHP script.
Total Credit Recovery: A fairly simple but elegant site for a collection agency, with a warm and rich colour scheme. The logo was designed by us as well.
