My Work

Web Design, Logo, and Photography were all part of this job. Here is what Jason Byassee (Head Pastor) had to say when the job was done:

"You rule Toban…"

The DeWitt Wallace Center for Media & Democracy gave me a call wondering if I could help them "tweak" an expermental site they were working on. I ended up re-designing the whole thing and implementing the entire site – replacing their old one.

"Thanks so much for all you’ve done. I love love love my site and think it looks awesome!"

Logo and Web Design for Woofpack Pet Care.

Duke Professor, Maureen Maguire Lewis sells cross-cultural negotiation training simulations all over the world using her website. She needed to update her e-commerce site to give it an up-to-date look and feel.

Since 1988, The Mechanical Man, Inc. has served thousands of customers in Durham, NC. A Family owned and operated Business. I highly recommend using them

This is a simple, professional site that is designed to show Vaughan + Brown’s clients that they mean business. They wanted something not overly complicated, but still effective. I believe that is what i delivered.

I really enjoyed working with this pastor. I did the logo and the site design for Calvary Chapel of Enterprise.

When my church asked me for some advice on setting up a new website, I jumped at the chance to help. Next thing I knew, I was redoing their entire site. Call Pastor Roger and ask him if he likes what I did. If he doesn’t convince you to work with me, I don’t know what will.

–Work in progress– I love the look of this homepage! Stacey is an interior designer who is just starting out, but was looking to make an online impact. She asked for a site that was accessible, yet professional at the same time. I’m super pumped at how this turned out.

LMTS Logistics Plus is a Logistics Services Provider of a wide range of innovative supply chain services. It’s not in my usual field of specialty, but I enjoyed learning something new and working in a new industry. Believe it or not, I have worked in the trucking industry before. As a summer job I worked in a lumber yard in Canada helping to load trucks and trains with wood. Can’t say it was the best job I’ve ever had, but then again, lifting all those 2X4s really built up my arms.

Barton Group is a Raleigh General Contractor that needed a results driven website designed to get leads. I designed this customized wordpress theme to funnel customers to a lead capture system featuring 6 free eBooks with the covers designed by me.

I used WordPress to design this site for Visions of Independence, a charity based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They needed an easily update-able site with a professional look to attract donations and help from the Winnipeg Community. As with all my sites, I designed as well as implemented all aspects of the site.

I designed this website for a Performance Studies Ph.D. at Duke University in Durham. She wanted the site to have equal parts whimsical style and professional image.

“Toban will get the job done and get it done on time. He has designed several websites for me and my business. I highly recommend him!” Ryan Paul Johnson, Owner of MovingTheTriangle.com

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. That and my Father in Law literally wrote “The World Encyclopedia of Christmas” so obviously… I jumped at the chance to work on a Christmas Website. I think it turned out festive.

This is a celebrity type site designed to make my client the authority on business.

Cary NC Commercial Real Estate was created for my favorite repeat client that wanted some slight variation on their typical design

IRA Real Estate Conversions was created for a Raleigh based firm that wanted to educate consumers and convert them into clients. They wanted to emphasize the fact that investors could use their IRA to purchase coastal porperty – hence the coastal feel of the site.

Stickflingers is a unique company that performs guided hunting tours in northern Manitoba – specifically for bowhunters. I wanted to give it an "outdoorsy" feel. I think one of the big things that help accomplish that is the greenery in the background. When I look at the site, I feel like I’m looking at a map about to enter the forest.

NC Waterfront bargains is a take on the Triangle Property Locator Design (see below), but with more of a coastal look and feel. We decided to use WordPress, and have never regretted the decision. I encourage all my clients to use a WordPress as their content management system. It is an extremely powerful, flexible system that is easily scaleable… not to mention easy to use.

Triangle Property Locator is a private company that wanted have the look and feel of a government agency. I think the seal in the center of the page, the colors and layout give this a distinctly government feel. They help people locate real estate in Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, Morrisville and the surrounding areas.

Mastermind Investing wanted an “old-timey” look and feel along with a unique navigation and all the functionality of WordPress. Mission Accomplished.

Calvary Chapel of Birmingham wanted to have a cutting edge look at a bargain price. Working in partnership with TCV Media was a great experience from beginning to end.

YouCube Condos was a unique and fun project. I was given the company brochure and told "go".

GreenSeed Development wanted a minimalist design and I’m so happy with the finished project. Simple, clean, and communicates what it needs to. It started off with a logo design, and led to a website, and a happy client.

The Greensboro Partnership is a project where I listened to what the client wanted and came up with a professional and somewhat edgy design (that would also be versitile with large amounts of information.)
