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

portfolio-49-COTV.jpg

Church of the Valley

Our latest church Website, and one of our most ambitious projects to date. Over 80 minutes of video, 25 hours of audio sermons, multiple slideshow photo galleries and more...all of these elements tell the story of a wonderful church with a very distinct personality, and I look forward to more people discovering it through this new site.

Queen of Apostles Catholic Church

It was a special honor for me to be able to completely redesign the Queen of Apostles Website. It's my church, and has been for over eight years. There is a special sense of purpose and commitment to its members, as well as to the community at large, that created the church's well-deserved reputation as one of the most distinctive parishes in Silicon Valley.

portfolio-31-Cittis.jpg

Citti's Florist

This project was an historic, first-time collaboration between Michele Productions and Teleflora. Michele Productions completely redesigned the Citti's site, including new drop-down navigation menus. We then partnered with Teleflora to integrate their eCommerce shopping cart into the new site. Adrianna Citti Glascott shares her comments regarding the new site above. One of our most ambitious and successful projects to date.

   

A Client Testimonial from Adrianna Citti Glascott, Citti's Florist:

The Citti family is very appreciative of the incredible site that Mike DeAngelis built and delivered for us. We originally were just interested in Search Engine maximization for the prior site at Cittisflorist.com. Mike suggested and completed a brand new updated site, that entailed not only a modern appearance but code appropriate for search engine maximization. When our site went live we immediately were on the top of the Google search engine for our area and product. In the days that followed we received about double the amount of orders each day. Our customers were very satisfied and found our new site very user friendly.

The most impressive part of working with Mike is his professionalism and dedication to his clients. Mike is very passionate about his profession and delivers an end result that exceeds your expectation. He has very high standards for his work. I highly suggest using Michele Productions for your web needs.

MarFam Computer Solutions

Based in Georgetown Texas, MarFam Computer Solutions offers remote and onsite hardware, software and network support in both the Austin Texas and San Jose California areas.

Yuki Sushi

Yuki Sushi has been a very popular Santa Clara restaurant for many years, and the opening of its second location in Willow Glen created an ideal opportunity to completely redesign the Website. The Home Page allows visitors to choose between the Willow Glen or Santa Clara site. The look and theme for each is consistent, capturing the unique and individual qualities of each location.

portfolio-45-OSLC.jpg

Our Savior's Lutheran Church

Our Savior's Lutheran Church is a very warm, hospitable congregation in Santa Clara, and it was a joy to build this site for them. It includes videos of the Pastor's sermons and the special sermons he prepares especially for the children of the church.

Viva Taqueria

Viva Taqueria is owned and operated by a married couple who are two of the hardest-working, nicest people you are likely to meet. The Yelp reviews on the restaurant are overwhelmingly enthusiastic, and with good reason. This is traditional Mexican food, prepared with quality ingredients and with care by people who have a passion for giving their customers the very best.

A Client Testimonial from Kevin Ryan, Ascent Employment Program:

I sent out an email to several people I know to tell them about the Website and some offered opinion:

"Just browsing the website. It's excellent, Kevin! I think QofA should use this web design as well!"

"The pictures and the organization is great."

"I know nothing about website construction, but this one looks great-- easy to navigate, clear, and informative."

Cafe San Jose

There's nothing like well-prepared comfort food. I've been a fan of this restaurant since its opening, and it was my great pleasure during the 2009 Christmas holidays to completely re-design their Website. It features 21 high-quality photos of their signature dishes, plus full menus. Cafe San Jose serves breakfast and lunch, open daily from 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM.

A Client Testimonial from John J. George, Santa Clara Schools Foundation:

"The work you did for us on our Website has proved to be very effective. The grant process has been streamlined, we are now experiencing numerous scholarship applications where in the past, we received very few and the on-line donation capability has more than paid for the cost of the Website.

We very much appreciate your continued help and involvement and look forward to working with you in the future."

Santa Clara Schools Foundation

The Santa Clara Schools Foundation (SCSF) is a nonprofit, all volunteer public benefit corporation formed in 1992 to help enrich the education of the students in the Santa Clara Unified School District by funding programs, projects, scholarships, and citizenship awards.

A Client Testimonial from Cathy Bernal, Body Awareness Center :

Dear Mike:

First and foremost, I want to thank you for all your help, creativity and suggestions you had for my webpage.

Mike, the most effective tool on my webpage, quite honestly, has been the Video Clip. This has been the decision-maker for many of my new clients. Here is what my clients have literally said:

“I felt I got to know you“, “it was such a great personal touch” and other comments, such as, “how clever” and “I felt the video was an ‘educational tool’” and “oh, that video clip was great, that is why I’m here.” Oh, last but not least “I don’t have speakers on my computer, but your friendly smile and professional presence was enough to convince me that I would be comfortable with you. This is a very personal procedure, and you have a wonderful bedside manner; which was evident in the video clip.”

Mike, that last comment was just made to me yesterday.

Mike, I can only say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. The personal touch of the Video Clip continues to help my business grow.

God Bless you always,

Cathy Bernal, CHT

Premium Pizza

I met Mario, the owner of Premium Pizza, as the result another client two doors down in the same mall (Best Purified Water). I went to his restaurant and ordered a pizza without introducing myself. It was delicious, Mario was a great guy, and I knew I had to do this Web Site for him. I eat in every restaurant you see on my site. It's the only way I can honestly recommend their great food to you.

A Client Testimonial from Pat Pezzella, Pezzella's Villa Napoli:

Mike completely redesigned our Web Site in 2007. From the beginning, he took a deep interest in capturing not only our distinctive cuisine, but also the spirit and sense of community that has allowed us to thrive as a Bay Area institution for over 50 years. Pezzella’s Villa Napoli is a family owned and operated business, and we make it a priority to treat our guests as part of our extended family. Mike understood this and built a Web Site that reflects this in warm and engaging ways.

Our Web Site features hundreds of photos of the food, events and history that tell the Pezzella’s story. We have many video clips, some filmed in the kitchen and others at the many special events we hold throughout the year.

It is clear from his work that our ongoing success is very important to Mike. He’s kept our site updated and entertaining in the months following our initial redesign. Our long-time customers regularly offer enthusiastic feedback about the site. New friends have dined with us and have shared the fact that they discovered us through the site. Mike is a creative professional who consistently delivers his best for his clients. I encourage you to contact him for your Web Site and marketing needs.

   
portfolio-20-pezzellas.jpg

Pezzella's Villa Napoli

One my favorite projects 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 many video clips, hundreds of photos, as well as full menus and wine lists.

   

A Client Testimonial from Aurelio and Lydia Tandoc, Best Purified Water:

A customer who knows Mike told us his friend is a professional Web Designer. At first we were very skeptical because of our unpleasant experience with another company.

Mike came to our store and he introduced himself politely to us. He explained to us what he can do and the time and money to do it.

He started the Web Site on September 11, 2008 and finished it on October 11, 2008. That's how fast he works. He is very efficient. Now, we have a beautiful Web Site and we received a lot of praise from friends and relatives. We highly recommend Michele Productions to any business establishments. Thank you very much Mike for your dedication and good work.

   

Best Purified Water

The Web Site for Best Purified Water is a perfect example of effectively branding and positioning a business for maximum exposure and effectiveness. Rather than present Best as a store that sells purified water, the intention is to show the many ways in which the additional products and services they offer can contribute to the healthy lifestyles of their customers.

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, 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.

The best compliment I can give is what I received from one of our prospective job applicants: "I was able to apply for a job and everything worked. I stopped in the middle of the application, and when I returned the next day - it was where I left off." This applicant had tried to apply online with our competitors and was steered towards applying via hardcopy, as their website didn't work."

   
portfolio-28-DD.jpg

Device Dynamics

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.

portfolio-26-Hooper.jpg
portfolio-25-Mobile-C.jpg

Mobile Connectivity

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.

I highly recommend Mike DeAngelis as a designer and a gentleman who is easy to work with, and will have your best interests in mind as he designs whatever you need."

   
portfolio-23-everett.jpg

Alan F. Everett DDS

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."

   

Gary E. Arita DDS

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.

portfolio-22-brochures.jpg

NEW Business Principles Brochure: "Branding: The Foundation of Any Successful Strategic Marketing Campaign"

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™.

   

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."

John specializes in Elder Care, Estate Planning, Business Law and Living Trusts.

Cal's Garage Doors

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.

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 has welcomed over 200,000 visitors from all four corners of the globe.

portfolio-03-CDWHi.jpg

Compact Disc Warehouse

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.
