I had a chance to do a web project recently for GMK Associates Inc. in Columbia, South Carolina. I built them a website using a combination of Adobe Flash and WordPress. Using Adobe Flash allows them to feature animated 3D architectural renderings and using WordPress allows them to easily control the content of their website. They had an amazing collection of high quality images from various construction projects around the southeast. Many of those projects are familiar landmarks to me like the Koger Center for the Arts. I really liked working with the animated 3D architectural renderings and I’m featuring them prominently on their homepage. I also had a chance to do some of my own 3D animations for the website.

The process was educational for me dealing with a larger firm with a robust amount of content. The majority of clients I’ve had up until this time have been relatively small. It’s the first time I’ve sat in a board room overlooking the state capital building trying to explain to a group of folks how the internet works. I was honest in explaining to them that even if they had hired a large advertising agency and spent five times the amount of money, they would still just have a fella like me building the site so why not skip the middlemen. I enjoyed the challenge and overall, I think we got a good result. Visit www.gmka.com to check it out.
