Favorite current and past projects (you'll note that in the late 90s-early 00s we were known as "SMF Productions"). Enjoy!

A Client Testimonial from Donald Yeager, Executive Producer, Able Cable Productions, On The Move: When we were shooting the location "b" roll for a show describing the story of one of the owners of Pezzella's Villa Napoli Restaurant, we met you through the wonderful Web Site you created for them. I noted that we had been struggling to improve our Web SIte, and you offered to take a look at it. You visited our Pezzella studio shoot and videotaped the entire session. We were all amazed when you called shortly thereafter with a few questions and said that our new site was about ready to be put on the Web. It has been there since last week and we have already received many compliments on its appearance and complete presentation. It proves once again that when an accomplished professional does the job, it is done promptly and it is done right. Thank you again for your wonderful contribution to the variously challenged people who are being encouraged and shown a better life style by "On The Move." |

A Client Testimonial from Miriam Trentini, Guardian Security Agency & Per Diem Staffing Services: "Michele Productions built quality sites for our
company. As a "newbie" in this field, I received
excellent advice and suggestions, including information on
what was needed and how to best prioritize action items.
Michele Productions ensured that I had all the information,
so that the site could be delivered in the time projected.
Michele Productions 'taught' me how to deliver a well
constructed and fully functioning website. |

Device Dynamics provides finishing services to the Semiconductor Industry. Their previous Web Site had been developed a number of years ago and featured elements that were not "search engine-friendly." The new version is a 100% makeover, including a digital photography shoot especially for the new site. |

Wired and wireless headsets for home, office and car, plus On Hold Messaging. This was a re-design project in order to get the new site down to fighting weight. Sometimes the simplest message is the most effective. |

A Client Testimonial from Barry Felse, Owner & President, Cal's Garage Doors Inc.:
"Our company was looking for a complete overhaul of our
existing website. We were looking for more color, more
personal information as well as additional insight about our
products and service. Mike was able to take the rather
hap-hazard bits of information we supplied to him and built a
new website that has really "fit our requirements".
In fact, the final product is well beyond our expectations.
We have had numerous complements from both customers and
suppliers as to the quality and professionalism that went
into the new design. |

Redesign of a dental practice Web Site that had previosly relied upon stock photos and other template elements to convey its branding message. New photo shoots and a focus on the community service aspect of the practice resulted in a much more powerful site. |
A Client Testimonial from Maureen Everett, Alan F. Everett DDS: "Our old web site was giving me nothing but headaches and had turned into" the money pit.” I consulted with Michele Productions to build a completely new web site and Mike offered a clearly defined plan to better showcase our great doctor. Mike met with me a few times to get to know our products and get a feel for who we are. He not only made some great recommendations for improvements to our web site he provided the solutions. Mike did custom photography for us, used his professional writing skills to craft our rough data and had a finished website for me in just a matter of weeks. Even better, the new web site cost me less than what it used to take to update my old web site. Thank you Mike, for making the process stress-free and bringing me just the right clients for Dr. Everett's fabulous smile makeovers." |

Dr. Arita's Web Site is an excellent example of what can be accomplished in a "Phase 1" environment. Michele Productions created a design which can later be scaled to include more content. If you have limited time in which to collaborate with your Designer, it is always preferable to create a solid, professional "base" Web Site in order to begin building your Web presence. |

This brochure was the basis for a talk that I gave at the Sunnyvale Chamber of Commerce S.T.A.R. ("Sharing Tips And Referrals") Club in August 2007. The brochure outlines Michele Productions' BrandTHIS© System for Brands That Resonate™. |

The most recently completed project from Michele Productions, and my favorite to date. Pezella's Villa Napoli is in its 50th year of operation and the pride, dedication to quality and warmth of this restaurant are unmistakable. There are three video clips, over 80 photos, and full menus and wine lists. |

A Client Testimonial from Michael Clapperton, District Manager, Farmers Insurance: "I asked Michele Productions to redesign my Web Site, and from the beginning of the project, Mike’s emphasis was on structuring the marketing message in a compelling, dynamic and logical order. He stressed the importance of communicating a universal “what’s in it for me” message. The Web Site clearly illustrates the value a business professional receives from becoming a Farmer’s agent. At the same time, prospective agents receive a clear set of goals and expectations from me. I’ve had visitors to the Web Site as well as my own colleagues offer positive feedback and I am pleased with my experience in working with Michele Productions." |

The first challenge in designing a Web Site is to determine what makes the client unique. When I first started working with Komatsu, I realized that the traditional, intimate atmosphere...coupled with a large menu featuring creatively prepared items...would be the strengths I'd work with. Kanpai! |

Vincent Nguyen's Lasertone San Jose offers part replacement, preventative maintenance and on-site service for industrial lasers. The intention behind this site is to illustrate how a site can project a professional image while being clean, compact and inviting. |

John F. Ruzzo, Attorney At Law John specializes in Elder Care, Estate Planning, Business Law and Living Trusts. This is a "Starter Site" for John...more content is planned in the near future, especially on his "Legal Services" page. Quite often a "Starter Site" motivates both the Web Designer and business owner to add, improve, and enhance existing content. |

Three "Photo Safaris," including Canada College in Redwood City, Foothill College in Los Altos, and Downtown Mountain View in the Castro Street area. Respectfully dedicated to my good friend (and former boss) Geoff Robles. Geoff gave me my first copy of Photoshop many years ago, and also introduced me to the incredibly talented technical team my company partners with today. |

Quality craftsmanship, the old fashioned way...hard work by decent people using quality products. This project came to me via a referral from a good friend. When I met Barry, the owner of Cal's, I immediately gained a new friend. This is an upgrade and re-design of their current Web Site. It brings the Web Surfer a little closer to who they are, what they offer, and why they should choose Cal's. |

New Web Site for the Mountain View CA Sons of Italy Lodge. Featuring an extensive Flash photo gallery and a Flash Video interview with the Lodge's President. There are many chapters of Sons of Italy across the U.S., and the goal is to present a site that is clean, user-friendly, and worthy of carrying the highly respected Sons of Italy seal. |

Farmers Insurance of Santa Clara Black and white business images were used on this site to create a professional, elegant atmosphere. This site recruits agents for Farmers Insurance, and it was important to strike an even balance between what Farmers has to offer and what they are looking for in potential candidates. |

Fabric structures & components company located in Milpitas. StructureFab produces state-of-the-art, innovative solutions for trade shows. One of their high-profile clients is NVIDIA. This project is a complete, start-from-scratch overhaul of their current site and will include a Macromedia Flash Gallery / Portfolio featuring their finest work. |
|
Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs Club Complete site re-design for a Silicon Valley-based networking group. Over 50% of the text from the original site was re-written, 100% was restructured for maximum impact. New, user-friendly navigation, resulting in a lean, professional online calling card for this dynamic group. |

Local store featuring very unique items from Lladro, Swarovski Crystal, Disney, and many more. This store is literally overflowing with so many appealing items that I knew I wanted to do their Web Site the minute I discovered it. |
|
Very shortly after building this site, I received the greatest compliment anyone in my business can: "We got a new contract after someone saw the site." Because Guardian already had an established logo (the patch worn on the uniforms of its Security Guards) I chose a design that picked up on its colors and used it as the site's focal point. |

An exciting project. Per Diem is a medical staffing agency that requires a secure online environment for applicants to submit their information. We're building an SQL database to store the records, and the site will be powered with SSL encryption. The Web brings recruiting out of the dark ages and provides a secure and manageable environment for applicants. |

Seiko Matsuda Forever: Phase III An experiment in design, pure and simple. I wanted to take the same subject matter featured in my Seiko Matsuda Forever site (see below) and approach it from a different angle. This site utilizes Macromedia Flash and video clips. Once again, the Guestbook of the site represents the global appeal of this gifted lady. |
|
|
Seiko Matsuda Forever: The Remix As the name implies, this was my second version of a site based on the career of famed Japanese singer and actress Seiko Matsuda. She's not well known in America, but worldwide, she's huge. The site's hosted by GeoCities and currently has welcomed 132,817 from all four corners of the globe. |
|
Sadly, this store closed its doors for the final time in 2004. In the 80s and 90s it was a Sunnyvale (and Silicon Valley) legend. I'm proud to have done their Web Site. You'll find an archived version of the complete site from August 2002 on my own Michele Productions Web Site. |
