TotalDesignZ.com Samples Page
This page lists some of our most current samples
including complete sites and sample pages.

Shortcuts to different sections:

[ Web Design ]
[ Search Engine Positioning ]
[ E-commerce ]
[ Animations ]
[ Our services-Very extensive list ]
[ Contact info ]
[ E-mail us ]

This list is far from complete as I frankly think we have the LARGEST portfolio on the web.
Probably over 100 pages. We have a large amount of printed samples too and anything intended for print,
SHOULD be seen printed out as the screen cannot do our samples justice. Ask for samples over MAIL.
For example, we challenge you to find better looking business cards than the ones we make.

As with most of our work, it is really clean and "corporate" which is what works best. If anyone want's
more complex sites, we can do it! ASP, JAVA, Database, Intranets, Streaming Video?
NOT A PROBLEM!
We have a large team of people and one of them works for Microsoft's webdesign department.
Plenty of graphics designers at your service and we can make anything from scratch to finished product.

Keep in mind that we do NOT employ anyone and everyone that works with us is an independent
contractor. This way we have the choice of only working with the best and NOT keeping anyone on
the payroll that doesn't meet our standards.

We are a small company with HUGE resources. No overhead! A lot of speed, and hands on!

Webdesign-Sample Links

If possible, please set your resolution for 800x600 before viewing. If the customer wishes, we can make
a site hold up for resolutions from 640x480 and up to 1920x1080 or more.
The http://totaldesignz.com/samples/hk.htm page is made for up to 1280 I believe and one of our
entry pages is made for up to 1900 pixel resolution.

Latest samples

This page will probably be part of our new site in the form of an entry page. We took the picture of the
Red leaf and scanned the Yellow one and retouched them in Photoshop. Links don't work as it's a
sample page and this page is gorgeous in print at 300dpi.
http://totaldesignz.com/newsite/leaves-yellow-red-w-links.htm

The following pages were made as training pages for the Academy of Web Specialists and are part of
their certification program for their students.
http://totaldesignz.com/newsite/flowerpage-1.htm
http://totaldesignz.com/customers/old-customers/robin/red-leaf.htm

Here is a client site we're working on. The company is in Germany with offices throughout Europe.
The site will be made in two languages initially and will be expanded to a total of 6 languages.
The original site is at: http://www.ihahub.de Please click on the American flag to continue.
The new entry page: http://www.ihahub.de/default-new.htm This page loads in around 7 seconds
on a 28.8 modem!! We also designed the logo by the way. Please click on ENGLISH to continue
and compare the MAIN page to the original MAIN page with the three frames.

Let's start with an entry page for our new site. I.e. when it gets updated (and it's long overdue)
http://totaldesignz.com/newsite/gridpage.htm This page was made for a reason and that is
to show clients that we do NOT necessarily have to make everything on a white background.
You will see when you have looked through most of these samples that we do NOT have a "style"
but will make you anything. We often work with white backgrounds to get the clean look and
it's also the color prefered by most companies.

http://totaldesignz.com/samples/hk.htm Same page as above and it WILL be faster loading when
it's ready for delivery to the client. It's still faster than most pages out there though.
http://totaldesignz.com/samples/treepage.htm
Very suitable as a background for a landscaping company or a nature/environment oriented company.
http://totaldesignz.com/samples/treepage-text.htm Same page but showing what it could look like
with text and links. NOTE! It can look better. This text doesn't really look good with this picture,
but we had to get some sample links on it. I took the picture myself and for this very purpose.
Notice how it makes a left oriented frame. I.e. instead of left sidebar and top navigation bar.

http://totaldesignz.com/samples/circles-1.htm Suitable for any type of business
http://totaldesignz.com/samples/circles-stripes-1.htm Suitable for a LARGE amount of links!
http://totaldesignz.com/samples/circles-stripes-large-1.htm Only advisable for anyone that demands
that the site be made for 1024 resolution and up.

http://totaldesignz.com/samples/tony.htm Note the loading speed. Depending on routing, it should
easily come up at around 7 seconds on a 33.6 connection and up.

http://totaldesignz.com/customers/samples/union.htm

http://totaldesignz.com/feedback-form-world.htm
The object here is to show what you can do with a forms page and it really looks good when fields
look like they're "cut out" from the background. It was made to show what you can do with
a form as opposed to a NORMAL form with just white background or a one color background.

E-commerce

http://store.candlevision.com This site has online shopping (E commerce) and the client has over
500 candles online with pictures of every candle. Please note the CandleVision.com Flame animation.
Now, see how smooth it is compared to most animations. We usually avoid animations as the plague
unless they won't bother the visitor. What do you think?
Please be advised! That the pictures on the shopping site that are larger than 500 pixels and do NOT
fit in the screen were added by the client. When we originally created the site, ALL thumbnails and
pictures had a consistent size that would fit in a 640x480 window.
As of September 1999, we were responsible for around 90% of the site but not for changes
or additions after that date. I.e. pictures too large for the screen and other changes on the site.

Entry (splash) pages

(Note that many of these links are samples ONLY and they are NOT linked on our website yet!
Some are available for purchase or we can create a similar design if you wish.)

http://totaldesignz.com/samples/balls-arrows.htm
http://totaldesignz.com/animations-welcome.htm

Both these are sample entry pages.

A few samples from Client sites

http://totaldesignz.com/customers/gaye/customersites-page502-gayechevrolet.htm
http://totaldesignz.com/customers/garys/customersites-page503-garys.htm Made for 800x600 only!
http://totaldesignz.com/ocicats/customersites-page507-ocicats.htm Scheduled to be finished soon.
Pending material and more information.

http://totaldesignz.com/customers/radioshack/customersites-page510-radioshack.htm

A few design ideas --- some of these are available for purchase

http://totaldesignz.com/webdesigns-page5-questionmark.htm Important! 800x600 only and all the
balls ARE linked but the way it was made at the time, the position of the links may be out of "whack"
a bit. This would of course be fixed once delivered.
http://totaldesignz.com/webdesigns-page6-webdesign-space.htm Every little object could be made
clickable with or without an explanation in the status bar as to where it links to.

http://totaldesignz.com/artservices-page702-webdesign-workorder.htm This is just a sample of our
work orders, but they really should be seen in PRINT.

Animations

http://totaldesignz.com/animations-page107-outpost.htm Could be made even smaller.
Despite it's 8.6 kb size.

http://totaldesignz.com/animations-page109-bullseye-trellis.htm Again, could be made much smaller.
http://totaldesignz.com/animations-page113-trellis.htm Huge, but interesting. For a potential client,
it would be redesigned and MUCH smaller. Note that MOST of these sites or animations are NOT
optimized for size and loading speed! They will/would be upon delivery. Also, many of them are
available for purchase so if you see something you like, ask us about it.

Another animation is available at http://store.candlevision.com It's the flame at the top.
See how smooth it is compared to a lot of other animations and this is achieved with ONLY 5 frames.

Internet Explorer specific

The next two links are only made for INTERNET EXPLORER for now.
Turn your volume DOWN fully on your speakers. When the page has loaded, turn the volume up
and hit REFRESH. In the second one, crank the volume way up on your speakers before you hit refresh.
http://totaldesignz.com/specialeffects-page302-winzipwav.htm
http://totaldesignz.com/specialeffects-page303-zapwav.htm

More entry (splash) or main page samples

http://totaldesignz.com/newsite/trowe2.htm As you see, it's just an entry page and NOT ready at that!
http://totaldesignz.com/customers/jewell.htm Notice what they sell! :)
http://totaldesignz.com/samples/sphere-salem-2.htm Graphic made in Bryce!
http://totaldesignz.com/samples/iceage.htm Bryce again!

Check out the loading speed of this site/page (not ready yet)

http://totaldesignz.com/ocicats/OI-index-1.htm A site we're making for a cat club.
Note the loading speed. It's as fast as Yahoos site and that site was number one on the
Internet World Magazine (August 1, 1999, page 16) speed test of corporate sites. It could be made
even faster. The headlines are a joke and only there as samples by the way.
The Rottweiler is MINE and my wife is the cat person mentioned. :)

Search Engine Positioning

Here are some SEARCH ENGINE POSITIONING links. These show SCREEN SHOTS of actual
searches that we did for sites that we have positioned. Graphics are large but have been left untouched
for authenticity. Explanations are below the graphics and a link to the NEXT page
(7 different ones for now).
http://totaldesignz.com/searches.htm

We would be happy to make a complete analysis of any site and at the depth and with the detail
that you'd like.
Keep in mind that not everyone appreciates what we find! Especially not the company/person
that designed it. In our opinion, close to 90% of the sites on the web have errors, broken links,
lack information or graphics or have some other problems. This phenomenon is NOT restricted to
personal or small business sites. Large companies often have the worst sites.
(Sony's site is in our opinion one of them.)
We could do a search engine analysis or one where we look at everything from spelling,
to code and graphics. I think you would be amazed at what we find on every site.
I talked to a large magazine about their site the other day and the Senior editor said to me;
"You'd think our site shouldn't have these problems being an "Internet" magazine?"
So really, we can do a lot for you.

Here is a sample of a CONCISE search engine report:
http://totaldesignz.com/reports/amgen-infergen.htm
We also offer a detailed report that let's you click on each entry to get to the exact search
to see who's in front and who's behind. Price depends on the options and on the amount of keywords
you want us to search for.

Keep in mind that a search position has to be maintained for optimum results and it has to be done for
EVERY engine as they all have different rules. For optimum search engine positioning;
ONE page PER word (or phrase) PER engine! A complete and thorough search engine positioning
is a complex and ongoing project but at the same time, the CHEAPEST advertisement there is.
Hands down!

It's often cheaper than one or TWO banner ads a month and gives many times the results.
As an example, a customer of ours paid $3300 a month for a banner on Altavista
(They are NOT a Fortune 500 company
either so that was a lot of money for them.) This gave them 35 hits a day. We got them 3-500 hits a
DAY for a lower cost. They've had over 40 000 hits in their FIRST 4 months of online operation.

A couple of entry pages for our future (updated) site

Below are a couple of entry pages that we're working on for TotalDesignZ.com (our site). Do NOT look
at the code, or rather, if you do, keep in mind that there are NO tags and none of the other "good stuff".
They are simply NOT ready yet! Just look at the simplicity and speed of the loading pages and
the keyword weight!
http://totaldesignz.com/business-cards/business-cards.htm Entry page!
http://totaldesignz.com/services.htm This will probably be part of our new site as a page that shows
what we can offer. Note the amount of services that we offer!

How to reach us

Anyway, I hope this is enough for you to see that there is NOTHING we can't offer, do it better, faster
and probably way cheaper
