Ennis House Web Site
In 1998 I became a docent at the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Ennis house (called the Ennis-Brown house at the time) in Los Angeles, California. Apart from helping with tours of the house, I was responsible for building the first web site for the house. I was honored to have the opportunity to design a web site for a Frank Lloyd Wright structure, and I wanted to incorporate as many elements of the house’s style into the web site as I could, hence the extensive use of varied concrete block graphics. (The entire house is constructed of patterned concrete blocks.) I also created a JavaScript-based printable tour registration form; this was before I knew enough Perl or to be able to hack together a form-to-email script, and before I knew any PHP. By 2000 my schedule was too busy to continue volunteering at the house or its web site, but many of my graphics and design elements still persist on the site to this day.
