| Network 23. Any size. Any site.
Network 23 has the experience to handle any site, from something on a statewide scale to the site of a local band. Here are links to some of the best sites designed by Network 23's most capable designers.
| PLEASE NOTE: Some of these links are pointing to actual sites. Most were handed off to the owner after completion, so changes may have been made which have altered the usability and/or look of the site. From here you can see what our design looks like. |
Large Scale:

| The State of Illinois Site [PDF, 461k]
Type: Governmental
Responsibilities: Graphic look, organization, and navigation. Worked with various agencies in creating their sites. Helped to maintain consistency in quality and "look and feel" between sites. Maintained servers. Introduced new technologies to sites including RealVideo and dynamic database access to SQL and Access databases. |
Small Scale:

| Kevin Lust [Actual site]
Type: Professional
Responsibilities: Entire site development. We had a lot of fun giving this motivational speaker's site a unique look that markets Kevin with maximum exposure. As an added feature to this site, we added audio excerpts from his Audio CD series that visitors can sample before purchasing the CD set. |
Medium Scale:

| Springfield Park District [PDF, 115k]
Type: Governmental Agency
Responsibilities: Entire site development. The goal here was to create a navigational system that would make it easy for visitors to find activities, when they were happening and where they were located. The clever navigation structure gives those goals directly to the visitor at the top of the page. The site also has a fun, light feeling to it which invites the visitor inside without placing a burden on typical modem speeds. |
Medium Scale:

| Downtown Springfield Inc. [Demo Site]
Type: NonProfit Organization
Responsibilities: Entire site development. This "friendly" site has a neat design that conveys a consistent look and feel while remaining small to download. Clever use of tables and text instead of graphics keeps the file sizes low. |
Small Scale:

| The ROSS Agency [Actual Site]
Type: Professional
Responsibilities: Graphic look, organization, and navigation. |
Small Scale:

| Feldman, Wasser, Draper & Benson [Actual Site]
Type: Law firm
Responsibilities: Graphic look, organization, and navigation. Goal was to promote professionalism and credibility. |
Various:

| The Hub [Actual Site]
Type: This is a grouping of personal sites -- sites intended to show a more personal nature than the business site links above. This will hopefully show more of the creativity and wildness Network 23 is capable of...
Responsibilities: Graphic look, organization, and navigation and content. |
Medium Scale:

| The Alyson Hannigan Appreciation Society [Actual Site]
Type: Fan Site. This site allowed us to experiement with dynamic content. The news stories on the home page are generated from a database. The images contained in a seperate table and referenced by the news story they relate to. The forum system is a freeware offering that we incorporated into this site and worked to maintain the look and feel of the design we created.
Responsibilities: Total development, dynamic programming, organization, navigation and content. |

Network 23 has built many sites. Here are just a few selections to demonstrate the quality of our work. In some cases, you can see what the site looked like before Network 23 rebuilt them. |

King Technology
When I saw the logo for King Technology, the pyramid, I knew exactly how to design this site. Creating all-new artwork for their site was a lot of fun, and the "desert" colors help set this site apart from the pack.

Illinois Department of Professional Regulation
The main goals here were to (1) reduce download time, (2) improve the graphical elements, and (3) make the site much more engaging and visually appealing.
These pages courtest of the Internet Archive.

Bicycle Safety
To appeal to the intended audience of young children, the Illinois State Police Bicycle Safety site needed an extreme workover. All the photos and panels were created from scratch, the site was given a darker, ultra-modern treatment that reminds kids of 3D gaming interfaces.
There's a lot to see here! Be sure to take the quiz!
