Portfolio Archives - Work/Life Balance

Welcome to my portfolio. Here are a very few of the major projects I’ve completed for the companies I’ve worked for. If you are interested in seeing more, please contact me at michael.belcher[at]gmail.com.

Callbright.com

One of Reynold’s call tracking services, Callbright targeted the automotive industry. Over the past year and a half it has begun offering new features to remain an industry leader, including introducing a fully-featured Android and iOS app.
The website’s redesign focused on responsive design and funneling prospects to dedicated industry pages, while letting current customers quickly access web-based services.

Blog Writing

While my primary duties involve website management I still enjoy writing the occasional topic for our companies’ blogs. I try to make the blogs I write both educational, accessible, and fun to read. Below is the post that was probably the most fun to write for Rentsys, our disaster recovery and business continuity provider.

“To help you get through the next review with your sanity intact, let’s compare your plan to Jurassic Park’s.”

Rentsys.com

Rentsys Recovery Services started out as an equipment provider to companies during times of crisis. As they have begun focusing more on cloud services and data recovery a new website with a more up-to-date look was needed.

The new design puts a large focus on video testimonials from current Rentsys clients. These clients concisely explain Rentsys’ services using real-world examples.

Old Rentsys Homepage — Previous Rentys Recovery homepage. It was requested that many features, such as blog/news postings and the prominent slider, were brought over from this older design.

Rentsys BlackVault — This new product, BlackVault, is the culmination of two years of transition from primarily physical recovery services to cloud-based recovery services. The information provided on the page is designed to give both a layman explanation of the service and enough technical information to assuage IT’s primary concerns.

Old Rentsys Business Recovery Centers — The old website copy relied heavily on jargon and buzzwords. In many smaller and mid-sized companies Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity was not any one person’s primary focus, so translating the terms on the new site helped ease many clients into their role.

Texas A&M Faculty Senate

I oversaw the redesign of both The Dean of Faculties website and The Faculty Senate website, bringing them up to the Texas A&M design standard. Below are the before and after pictures of the Faculty Senate site. This website had been using the same design since the early 2000s.
