Mr. Clown is Bringing Creepy Back

When Paul Weir, creator of Mr. Clown, came to me with his idea for a new website, I was thrilled to take on the project and be a part of this  creative work.

Mr. Clown “… teaches the children of the world the importance of following the rules and doing as they’re told.” Mr. Clown teaches his lessons in the most creepy way possible, of course, since Mr. Clown is also a serial killer who wields a machete and hangs out under your bed or in your closet, waiting for you to forget to brush your teeth.

Paul was looking for a comic site that would allow him to post his comics on a regular basis without having to learn the skills of a webmaster. He also wanted to have merchandise available for purchase and to connect everything to online social networks like Facebook, Buzz, and Twitter.

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of attending the launch party (dubbed “Mr. Clown’s Super Sweet Sixteen”) to celebrate the brand new website and Mr. Clown’s debut. It was great fun and included live music and food, along with hand-colored images of Mr. Clown for sale.

Do you need a website to showcase your creative work? Working with a shoestring budget and want to have the ability to make your own updates to the site? Contact me via e-mail or simply make an appointment, and we can sit down to discuss your needs.

My latest website project is for a fishing adventure company in Vancouver, Washington, called Fish With Me, which offers tournaments and fishing trips to Baja / East Cape and other prime fishing locations.

This website was fun and gratifying to build. It was a major redesign from an older site, and was more than ready for a fresh look and some modernization, to make it bright and inviting. We reorganized the information, remodeled, added a blog, and created profiles for Buzz, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa, and Youtube.

This site is an example of how a small business or individual can start building a community around their services or any topic of interest with a few simple tools. It is to these small businesses and individuals that I hope to bring the full power of the web with customized, professional graphics and layout.

Do you need to modernize? Want to have the ability to make your own updates without advanced HTML skills? Whether you are in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area or elsewhere, email me or make an appointment to discuss your needs.
