UFCW Local 711

http://www.ufcw711.com/

The UFCW Local for Las Vegas needed a website they could have to communicate with their over 5000 members.  After discussing all options that can be added to a website to increase interactivity, client requested only basic features.  Website included a custom flash introduction movie, content management system, newsletter uploader, webpage editor (to update their representative list), shop steward section, etc.  The client has since redid their website in 2008 with another designer with less interactivity and features.

Union 4 Walmart
Archived Version on this Website

For the UFCW International SPD, designed as the overall Wal-Mart campaign website at the time.  This website was designed not only to help Wal-Mart workers find an organizing campaign close to them, but to also alert them of the scope of the campaign and how charges were being filed against the company.  It also helped the press and citizens see that Wal-Mart was not telling the truth about how they were conducting themselves.

Wal-Mart's War on Workers
Archived Version on this Website

One of the last websites I created for the UFCW Internationals Strategic Program Department.  The version I have on this site is just a copy of the former site and as such many features do not work.  The website had a target audience of the public, Wal-Mart shoppers and the labor movement...so all three had to be equally represented in one website.  The result was one of the most interactive campaign websites up until 2005.  The website was only online for one week prior to a change in strategy.

Wal-Mart Workers Las Vegas
Archived Version on this Website

One of the first campaign website I made for the SPD and my fellow co-workers.  Created so much attention it was the focus of news articles and a who lot of cash from the other side to crush it.  It also represented the first large scale, worker created and run organizing website ever and became an inspiration for other worker websites for years.  Currently the campaign is over and only an archived version appears on this website..

Wal-Mart Workers Northeast Ohio

I was asked by another local to create a very quick and simple site for them.  This was done in 2 hours and is still operating today.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

Internal ('Intranet') website for a particular section.  Everything is done using basic HTML, javascript, DHTML and CSS since PHP and SQL Databases were not authorized.  The major portion of the site is the online guide which features inline frames, tooltips, flash movies and lots more making it highly interactive and easy for the end user to get the information they need.  The result is a massive website that dwarfs everything else on the intranet and will eventually replace printed manuals saving over $60,000 bi-annually.

Project Timeframe:  2002 to Current

 


Grape Expectations Las Vegas
www.grapeexpecationslasvegas.com

Website was developed for a local winemaking school (first of it's kind in Nevada).  After many revisions, client preferred this website and only wanted a simple website.  Client declined emailing marketing list, knowledgebase, news system, and more for the same price.
