I’ve been having a blast this last month working on a complete redesign for Mariano Friginal, a premier photographer in the California (and probably the rest of the universe, too). Mariano is a fantastic designer, as well, so he designed the page layouts in Photoshop and handed the files over to me to translate them into gibberish that only nerds and computers can understand.

The new site contains dynamic galleries to showcase Mariano’s stellar photography and videography, separate RSS feeds for blog posts and events, as well as some little gems like custom contact forms and dynamically-generated signup forms for events. The site was developed for scalability and longevity, in hopes of keeping the content alive for future face lifts rather than complete overhauls.

Mariano has photographed many friends of mine, so it was heartwarming to see images of them smiling while I was working on the site. Above is one such example.

Check out the new site (and be prepared to spend a lot of time there).
