The Websites by Brandon Pence
Here are the websites I have designed. I will include screen shots of them and descriptions of them. They are in the order that they were built, so my newest sites are at the top.

This was a redesign I did one day based on the bounce rate of the website. We realized through Google Analytics that the majority of the people were hitting the old site and leaving, so I re-built the website to circumvent that.
I didn't build the old website; but I designed the graphics for it. The old one was built in Dreamweaver by another web designer; so this one loaded much faster.
The bounce rate has since been reduced, so I look at this as a success for now.

This was the first website I built using Notepad++. It was built in 2 days; and was me simply experimenting one night and my boss liked it; then wanted it up the next day.
Recently I went back over the style sheet and was amazed at how much I have learned since then. There was a ton of things on it that simply wouldn't work...

This was a collaborative effort between myself and long time friend Tai Davis (Walks With The Wind.)
This website is for wrestling games, but people who go to it barely know that because it is so elaborate. Basically there are wrestling games made here in the US, and ones made in Japan.
To seperate those, we wanted to draw parallels. We initially were going to use a yin yang as a splash page, where you clicked on the white or black part; but it seemed to cliche.
To I came up with this idea; one section is very dark, metallic, steel, covered in guns and bullets, etc. Whereas the other is bright, similar to liquid and electricity.
Anyways I did not build the web site itself; just the graphics, but there are over 300 individual graphics on this website. It is very intense and unique, and for being made in I believe 2004, I am very proud of it.
