Josh Mills Art website

2008-12-21T17:25:00.000-08:00

I made this website for my husband.
It took me almost a month worth of work especially to find the right design and the features.
It was worth it!
The link to the websites is:

The flip page program was made by MegaZine 3

The new Phenix Websites is now online!

2008-09-30T19:12:00.000-07:00

Not bad.. I spent other 5 hours to finish it so a total of 30h for this website.
I hope the quality is better than the old one.

The new Phenix Websites

2008-09-30T09:12:00.000-07:00

I am working on the new Phenix and I'll probably finish during this week. I know I did another one few months ago but this one looks better to me.
Here is a pic I took while working...
Hopefully is going to be a very nice one.
I am also working with more tools now...I started using Flash in combination with Css or Html or Photoshop.
I am getting more and more excited about my job and every website I publish makes me wonder how it will be the next. Nice feeling!

Africa Website

Finally after months I am happy to post this website.
It's going to be posted between today and tomorrow so I'll post the link pretty soon but I wanted so much to post some screenshots of it.
The whole website and the graphic design has been made using Flash.
The background is a tipical cloth in Congo and Uganda, I love it because I really wanted the website to have the colors of that side of Africa.
I had so much fun drawing the frame...I needed to do reasearches and it took several hours to put together the different designs and mix them so to create something unique.
I hope to have been able to reach that target. :-)

Other logos

2008-08-15T12:07:00.000-07:00

Here there are the other two logos I made.

Hire411.com

and the new Phenix Websites logo

Coming soon

2008-08-13T10:56:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately I couldn't do anything from the time of my last post, because my computer broke so everything kind of stopped.

I have two new websites on project + the new Phenix and an old one I did almost a year ago for a charity foundation for Congo and Uganda.

Hopefully I'll be able to publish it in no time if my computer decides to work of course.

More time playing with Photoshop, though. I have a pretty high request of logos and buttons design...we'll see what I can do. Here is one of the logos I am working on:

New design

2008-07-21T09:00:00.000-07:00

I am reviewing the Phenix Website, I am working more with Photoshop and use what I do together with Flash CS3 and see if I can improve the design.
I am also studying CSS so that I don't focus only on the look of the websites I make, but also on the structure, to make my works a little bit more professional. Or at least I try... :-)

My reading

2008-06-20T08:16:00.001-07:00

This is the book I am reading. I bought it years ago (of course the Italian version), when my interest for the web design was just a dream before the college. You know.. one of those book you buy and say "this is just the beginning!".Well after 4 years and my degree, finally I got to read it. It really focus on what is behind the web design, which is the message and how let the user understand the meaning of your work. I really love the book.Thank you Nico Macdonald!

New feature on Phenix Websites

2008-06-11T15:46:00.000-07:00

One of the things I like most in my job is to give to my website an efficient look and a series of features so that my clients can be fully satisfied.
Well, this is now reality, since with the new Online Project page every customer will have a personal account and password to access to his own project area, and see what I did, if there is something to change, send a comment,etc.
Soon there will be also the opportunity to communicate directly with me, using a sort of guestbook or comment area which will make everything faster, without being worried about mail problems.

I am also working on the website I posted the pictures last week.

Not so much time this week

2008-05-31T13:51:00.001-07:00

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time this week to finish the website, I needed to do some researches and study a little bit more about other possible projects I may work in the next few weeks.

I just made the homepage, now the hard work has to come and I have to develop the rest of the website.

Kill Bill

2008-05-26T13:09:00.000-07:00

Other people are probably outside enjoying the Memorial Day...not me! :-D

I like to work hard, and today I was really in the mood to finish one of the three websites I was working on. I decided to finish the one of Kill Bill, just to combine fun and work.

I really loved working on this website and I found a way to create a style that respects the design and the colors of the movie.

Kill Bill

I can't wait to finish another website--maybe next week.

The Phoenix desk first post

2008-05-17T09:10:00.000-07:00

This is my first post on the Blog. Wow!
This is my virtual desk, the Phoenix desk, in which I am going to put together all my ideas and projects.
I am trying to create my own style in making websites in Flash, I am taking inspiration from everything, especially I love the futuristic design.
We'll see if this is the kind of design I want to work with.
I made a series of websites and I am working on 3 different kinds right now.
1. Kill Bill
2. My husband website
3. A website about flowers.

These are the website I published so far:
http://www.phenixwebsites.com/
dog's website ( in Italian)
Kill Bill (This website is not completed as I said before I am working on it)
Arabian Horses
Orthodox Light ( in Italian)
