2007-2008: FetchDog.com home page | Visit FetchDog.com

About this project: This project has been one of my greatest challenges and accomplishments. The pure depth of scope is more than I've ever engaged in. I designed hundreds of pages, all the UI and almost all of the initial code, CSS, Flash, emails, banner ads, internal graphics, promotions and templates. I also learned a great deal about designing for conversion while guiding the user through an sleek, AJAX checkout process. Visit FetchDog.com
