Criterion Web Services/Pat Ford's Portfolio

We see creating your video or web site as a collaborative venture between our company and your organization. We'll help you understand each step of the process. We welcome your inquiries regarding your video project, site design, illustration and programming.

We have completed a video and are working on two additional videos for Spacelabs, an internationally significant medical equipment company. We are currently working on: streaming audio for a second cd on the sky-ar.com site, just finished streaming video portfolio with about 100 clips for an independent filmmaker; shot and edited video for presentation on the city of Seattle's television channel; total remodel of the acbs-pnw.org site, including a searchable Access database for boats/models/year/owner.

British Automotive is car repair firm. It will have an e-commerce component to sell used cars and car parts.	Copperfield's makes custom display cases for ship models and other collectibles. It will have e-commerce capabilities to allow the visitor to order a custom-made case.
Gallery Marine is a site for marine engine repair shop on Seattle's Lake Union.	Mermaid.com is an e-commerce site for marine related cleaning products.

We encoded approximately 100 video clips on filmmaker Karl Krogstad's site.

Saul Design is a site which answers a challenging problem in presenting designer's portfolio. The owner is an industrial designer with about twenty years of extremely varied experience. Most similar portfolios which we inspected in preparing for the site were clumsy and difficult to navigate. I think we did a good job creating a site which has quick and easy navigation.

Sky-lar.com offers a specialized CD for ballet music. About twenty tracks have been edited and encoded to Real Audio and Windows Media Player formats.

From June of 2000 to the present I have been in charge of development at Boatparts.Com. There are over 3,000 products on the site; each has a description and image. Development on the site is currently suspended. When worked ceased we had the products loaded and were about to remodel graphics. When it was built, it was the largest site on the web for recreational marine engine parts.

From the fall of 1999 to June of 2000 I was employed at Food.Com, a nationwide online meal ordering service. My duties included preparing restaurant logos and other content. 

From '96 to '99 I maintained the International Antique and Classic Boat Society(ACBS) site; the site serves about 40 chapters of the organization in the US and Canada.  Total membership in the organization is about 5,500. The site features an online version of the club magazine and a discussion group. I updated the online version of the magazine quarterly. Images were taken from the print edition's files and manipulated with Photoshop for web presentation. The site's goals are educational outreach and augmentation of membership base. The site  fulfilled these goals by receiving as many as 800 daily visitors and by producing a steady stream of new members. I regularly maintained the site and served as technical support for the office staff in upstate New York. The site is much revised since I left it; it is now maintained by a member of the organization.

The ACBS-Pacific NW Chapter site serves the local chapter of the ACBS. It also has a classified ad section which is the largest source of classified ads for classic boats and parts on the web. It first went online in February of 1995; it was one of the first classic boating sites. I maintain a mailing list server for the organization. I have been totally responsible for the site since its inception; it has won the Netguide Gold award. In 2005, the site won an award for the best site in the ACBS.
