Agape Travel & Tours

This project was done for a client looking to expand their business. The design is clean and features a monochromatic color scheme based on their company colors. The home page has a content slider for testimonials and the footer contains a dynamic calendar of upcoming trips using the Google calendar API. The quote pages uses some PHP to send structured emails to the site owner when a customer is interested in booking a trip.

New Portfolio and Blog

Erik — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:28:09 +0000

I finally finished it, I decided it was about time I get my portfolio back online and try to start blogging again. Also, this is a good place to post pictures of my models. I guess I could talk about the design a bit, I really wanted something with a nice use of patterns and Swiss inspired typography. The typeface for most of the headers is Futura, which most will recognize as the font Wes Anderson uses for all of his movies, and few may notice as the same on the Lance Armstrong LiveStrong bracelets. So anyone feel free to comment or drop me a line to let me know what you think of the design, what you’d like to see, or any ideas you may have that could improve the site.
