Showcase: FerndaleFamilyHomes.com
Ferndale Adult Family homes is a privately owned, state licensed assisted living facility in Renton Washington. Ferndale Adult Family Homes combines 24 hour certified care and support with comfortable and pleasant home-style living.
I have developed and maintained Ferndale Adult Family Home’s website since 2004, when we first launched ferndalefamilyhomes.com. The first website was created in HTML, and was difficult to maintain because any little change to one page had to be manually changed throughout all pages. In 2009, I redesigned the website in PHP and using WordPress as the backbone. This made creating content and maintaining the website much easier. So easy, in fact, that I was able to train users with moderate computer skills how to easily create, upload, and manage content.

The makings of a vampire
This being October, the month of one of my favorite holidays, I thought I’d share a little Photoshop magic with you. Most everyone pretty much knows what Photoshop is; a mainstream program used by graphic designers to create and manipulate images. I use Photoshop extensively for retouching pictures and creating my own graphics. I also use Photoshop to create a variety of graphics and do photo restorations, but that’s an article for another day.
The O’Brien Family Coat of Arms
Years ago, before my Uncle Rick passed away, he gave me a picture of our family coat of arms, the original image on the left. I rebuilt the image element by element in Photoshop until I completely redesigned the crest. I think I am going to take my design and have it made in a 3 dimensional metal wall plaque.
