Advertising and Television Production Portfolio Website

The Advertus Media website was created in WordPress and takes advantage of plugins to showcase their television and radio commercial portfolio in a fun and creative layout. For example, the television commercials display on a television set, and the radio commercials play from a retro radio with knobs that light up when selected. This was all accomplished using pure CSS and a flash media player plugin.

Chris Dearborn of New Frontier Designs in Massachusetts designed the site, and I coded the site and provided some design assistance. During the process, I learned how to create Flash video files, set Flash vars for the media player, and create a CSS image map with graphic rollovers.

In the future, we’d like to integrate a blog and client case study section in order to develop the content of the site and increase Google rankings. For now, the site serves as a professional and creative portfolio site. The site was honored with an ADDY Award in the Interactive Media category in the local facet of the national ADDY® Awards competition held at City Stage Theatre on March 12, 2009.

   Congratulations on the Addy Award, the site is beautiful (as you know, visually, one of my favs that you’ve done).

   Can’t wait to see your Phase 2 results, to incorporate more content. As you’ve said, there are ways to have a beautiful site and still get relevant content on there, which will help rank the site better!

   It will be a great balance, which I look forward to seeing you achieve.

   Congrats to Chris and you!
