These are a couple of the corporate projects we have worked on:

Emtex
www.emtex.com

Working with Jane Nerf at Write Results, Carla designed a new site based on the look and feel of Emtex' existing collateral material. The dynamically-generated web site is developed in .asp. Together, Jane and Carla, along with other subcontractors have maintained and promoted this site through many changes. Now a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes, Jane and Carla continue to work with Sales and Marketing to update and promote the website and support tradeshows such as On Demand, Graph Expo, Xplor, drupa, TransPromo and the Financial Communications Forum, with collateral and advertising campaigns. We develop and revise a new marketing CD, provide email marketing campaigns, develop banner ads, update the events, news and home page as well as make any necessary changes to PDFs and website copy. Carla works closely with other Emtex employees to create and edit forms for events that link into databases to collect information.

Océ
www.oceusa.com

Carla worked directly for Océ, “a global leader in digital document management and delivery technology offering software solutions, digital printers, copiers, plotters and scanners.” She worked with a team using Blue Martini to maintain a dynamic website and intranet site. Working with Jane Nerf from Write Results, Carla updated site graphics for consistency and accuracy and published Friday Flash, a regular in-house employee newsletter delivered by email. Jane and Carla worked with Sales and Marketing to support tradeshows such as On Demand, Graph Expo, Xplor, drupe and TransPromo with collateral and advertising campaigns. We developed email marketing campaigns, developed banner ads, including Flash banners, updated the events, news and home page, PDFs and website copy.

Carla Kirby has worked on these and other Corporate Projects:

MyFlorida
www.myflorida.com

While Carla worked freelance for Fusive in Boca Raton, she was on the team that cleaned up content from all of the state of Florida's existing web sites to give a consistent look and feel to the new State of Florida portal site. The team was able to complete the assignment on a very short deadline. It was an exciting project, culminating with Governor Jeb Bush unveiling the site live on television in front of a more than a thousand media professional and IT executives.

OpenClose.com
www.openclose.com

Carla worked closely with graphic artists and ASP developers in designing the brochure portion of a mortgage and lenders vortal, vertical portal. Carla was responsible for finding content sources about mortgage and lending. She stripped content of extraneous HTML tags and developed a clean W3C compliant CSS style sheet that was implemented for the entire brochure portion of the site. She tweaked the side navigation JavaScript, converted PSDs, sliced images and assigned JavaScript behaviors. Carla developed Templates and Library items for the entire site. She was responsible for coordinating work provided by other developers and merging them for alpha and beta publishing. She came in early and stayed as late as necessary to make deadlines. Carla worked closely with QA to assure quality control every step of the way. She also worked on a Flash Marketing CD, print promotional pieces, designed banner ads and attended meetings, meetings and more meetings.

Mortgage.com
www.mortgage.com

Carla worked for mortgage.com, the first company to originate mortgages on the Internet. It was exciting to be involved in inventing the Internet technology for mortgage business management and loan processing. She was also involved in the creation of web sites for mortgage brokers, allowing the electronic ordering of mortgage insurance and appraisals. She was in the graphic arts department and worked closely with the developers and html coders. She set up the site for Dreamweaver and merged the design and code.

Countrywide's "Site Builder"

Carla worked on Countrywide's "Site Builder" Templates, which broker customers can use to build their own website. Carla designed a template and sample websites that can be used within a dynamic application. By using various style sheets and graphical elements of the same size, web pages can be assembled using an .asp application and be customized by the end user. Carla developed 4 designs, each in 4 color schemes, with 16 graphic choices and 16 color and font variations.
She also worked on Countrywide's Web-based service, Countrywide Wholesale Business Channel (CWBC). CWBC is a website that broker customers can use to originate loans.

Countrywide saves an estimated $4 million per year.
Countrywide now offers a function called "Site Builder," which broker customers can use to build their own website. Countrywide would like to use WebEx to train their employees on the most effective way to sell "Site Builder" and answer broker questions about the service. Countrywide sees it as a way of making a potentially complicated process remarkably simple.

Nauticus Group
www.nauticusgroup.com

Nauticus Group provides consulting, staffing, and permanent placement services in the areas of accounting, finance, and operations. Carla took over development of this site in the middle of the project. Working with two images of the ideas for the site, she developed these concepts into completed site; migrating the existing content and making edits. She developed all front-end graphics and effects, including drop down menus, complex tables, Cascading Style Sheets, JavaScript, rollovers, forms using existing CGIs, image compression and optimization. Copy writing for home page was done personally, then made accurate by Nauticus Group employees. The new website was completed on-time and under budget. Later, she worked with Nauticus Group employees to include secure SSI for job postings.

AT&T
www.att.com

Before AT&T was Bellsouth, Carla worked on the prototype AT&T website for South America. She developed a working website model for use in meetings between the web development firm and representatives of AT&T. This small prototype site was used to test navigation options. It gave examples of different pages for different areas of the new site. Decision makers used this model website to make changes and sign off without wasting too much time or getting too elaborate.

Need help making a deadline? Carla can take your Photoshop documents and pull them into a working model in time for you to meet with your clients. I will make you look good.
