Portfolio
This page contains my selected works. It doesn't list everything I've done.
My resume has information about the goals these sites accomplished, and technologies used.
I believe that web sites should work well and look great regardless of the web browser. I'm particularly interested in working on community and local government websites. Anything the web can do to improve our social connections with others is a good thing. Government websites are important because they are accessed by a great many people, using vastly different computers and software. All of those people need information. Compare the websites of City of Omaha with the City of Chicago. Which one would you rather use? Probably Chicago's, because they spent some effort organizing their information, and they don't subject you to blinking text and other nuisances. Organization is important. I'm good at it.
I've also got a soft spot for small businesses. Many small firms specialize in cranking out websites for small businesses. They usually have a fancy graphic or two, but they often make it hard for potential customers to find the most basic information such as maps and business hours. In addition, your site address had better be easy to remember, and show up in search engines. I do things right.
danrasmussen.org (you're on it) is my best recent site.
I set it up cyclesrecycling.com during the course of my last job. It's a good piece of work for what it is- something I put up in a hurry to save me time and disseminate information.
Starting at the tail end of 2004 I served as the Fallon for Governor campaign's webmaster. They already had a website, but it had numerous problems: hard to navigate, unattractive, required JavaScript to access menus, no way to donate online, etc. I worked part-time (I was a full-time university student) redesigning the site for several months, bringing a much improved version of fallonforgovernor.org live in time for Ed's announcement rally in April 2005.
