Web Design: Required for the creation of this project was the development of an information site that would showcase the organizations being in support of a social hub for creative artists to network. This type of layout would require the need of developing multiple pages presenting valuable information necessary for individuals to associate names and titles with the project creators.
To provide a sound solution for this project the development of the home page would present the organizations most current event and activities. The choice of colors used were supportive of the fiery nature of the organizations brand identity and the charismatic flavor of the independent film environment. The development of the Past Events page would provide the viewer with an archival type structure of previous events and the Future Events page would inform the viewer of upcoming events. The essential element of the layout was the membership page in which the viewer had the ability to interact with the website and download a membership registration form and the ability to submit the form to the appropriate channels. In the final critical element was the assembly of the Members page for members to present relevant information and their best works to the viewing audience. URL: http://firestarterfilms.com/
In 2010 the site received an uplift giving the site a more current look to include adding many features that did not exist in the previous version. The newly revised website that was presented to the organization as a Christmas present to the Filmmaking Comuunity was well received. Here is what the client Shawn Monaghan (co-founder of Firestarter Films) had to say in his recommendation on LinkedIn:
“Victor Reynolds created the internet voice of Firestarter Films that has helped each new event and internet presence grow exponentially. He was able to quickly understand what Firestarter Films needed in a website to provide effective communication for anyone seeking information about the film festival. Being an event that runs bi-monthly, information needs to be readily available. Especially, for filmmakers using Firestarter Films in their portfolio as a festival which has shown their work. His attention to detail and clarity is what keeps the Firestarter Films website an efficient source of information from past events, recent news to the database of local talent blooming in the film industry. Right before Christmas of 2009, Victor improved the Firestarter Films website with icon links, impressive graphics, and strategically placed information. This has increased the overall efficiency of the website even further. I am very lucky to have Victor Reynolds as the webmaster for Firestarter Films and look forward to working with him even more to make Firestarter Films a household name.” December 29, 2009 Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, On Time
