Cold Noses Foundation contacted me years before responsive website design came on the scene. They have since changed thier design as it has aged for responsive websites but I add it here because I loved the colors and the layout.
A comp of the homepage sent to the client before building. They wanted a blog style website with current news on the landing page.

The Center for Optimum Living, in Kinnelon NJ, was my first real client when I started Lois Reed Designs.
I took pictures of the Center and based the entire site, color scheme and all, on these beautiful images.
Unfortunatly, the Center decided to build a new website with WIX. I don’t work with templates so they had another person take over. This is a website where I wish that I had taken a picture of each page so that one could see the difference between WIX and a custom built website.
Below are some comps and a screenshot of my homepage for them. It’s hard to let go of such a beautiful website, but I have to honor the clients’ wishes.

Although this website was built years ago, when sliced images and static HTML were the way to build, it is still live and still one of the early projects that I was proud to be a part of with Rambush.
messierart.com is no longer live, however, Linda’s paintings can still be purchased. Contact me if you are interested.

Linda’s website was featured in “Practical WebDesign” Magazine back in 2006.
I built her a website as my final project when I returned to college to study web design in 2006 and then submitted it to an international contest in which I placed in the top 20.
Linda has illustrated a number of book covers, 2 of which can be purchased through Amazon
