The Yellow Umbrellas

The Yellow Umbrellas, located on the San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura, brings the Rivera to the southern California coast. In the Spring of 2005 we began development on a fresh, new web design for The Yellow Umbrellas. Our associate photographer captured the unique experience of the location and brought satisfaction to the client, who felt her customers needed to experience her umbrellas even before they arrived on the beach.

In my opinion, MRM Web + Graphic Design does the classiest job, with real attention to detail and perfection. Everything on the web site is so organized and easy to find. I'm a very satisfied client!

Buck-A-Roos Stores

The recently launched site for Buck-A-Roo$ Stores of Southern California features a clean, modern design conveying a sense of quality which positions the company a step ahead of other bargain outlets in terms of quality and scope of merchandise. The easy-to-navigate site includes a newsletter registration facility, as well as downloadable ads and user printable coupons.

Kosmont Companies

Kosmont Companies, editors and compilers of the famous Cost of Doing Business Survey, came to us when they wanted their outmoded site completely re-designed. Working with Kosmont Companies' Director of Marketing, MRM Design provided the client with an easy-to-navigate site incorporating a clean, dignified design conveying a sense of professionality, security, and stability.

Michael R. Meyer provides professional quality service, with attention to accuracy and detail. He has been a consistent and reliable vendor for Kosmont Companies, and has helped us meet several time critical assignments.

Palm Desert Country Club & Golf Course

The site we are developing for the newly reconstructed Palm Desert Country Club is still under construction, but enough has been completed to make it worth a look. For this project, the top of each web page features a different photo of The Palm Desert Country Club Golf Course, with the home page highlighting the golf course's spectacular setting. The Palm Desert Country Club Golf Course is the winner of Golf Inc. magazine's "2006 Renovation of the Year" national competition.

C.Lynn Tegenfeldt

The site of Southern California painter C.Lynn Tegenfeldt is an example of our AvantFolios Online Galleries. A group of thumbnails and an enlarged image share a single page. Clicking on a thumbnail swaps the enlarged image. A slideshow feature allows the viewer to comfortably watch a series of images. For C.Lynn, we even created alternative slideshow images. See it in action at clynntegenfeldt.com and enjoy the work of one of our favorite Southern California artists.

I couldn't be more pleased with the site the MRM Web Design team designed and developed for me. It has greatly enhanced my image as an artist and a business professional. Most importantly, it has already led to a number of sales. On top of that, the work was done extremely quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Gilberto González

GilbertoMusic.com is the site of Classical and Jazz Guitarist Gilberto González. A bi-lingual site, it features a comprehensive discography with mp3 samples, as well as a shop, a biography, and photo albums.

Like all of our new sites, GilbertoMusic.com was one of our first sites built with the latest CSS technology for layout and positioning. We are pleased that Giberto is currently performing with the guitar sensation, Benise.

Michael R. Meyer Web + Graphic Design is simply Buenisimo!

Ken Wise Photography

For the artist site of Ken Wise Photography, we created a Flash-based online gallery and slideshow with a unique custom design which makes the most of Ken's spectacular wilderness photography. A minimalistic soundtrack and the use of large, very wide photos gives the viewer a sense of "being there". Ken Wise Photography features five nature scene collections.

MRM Web + Graphic Design took my old lackluster web site and skillfully and rapidly transformed it into something for which I am very proud. Everyone is impressed by its beauty and professionalism. Even my photography is enhanced by its clean and elegant look. I am 100% satisfied with the entire experience.

Green Jade Oriental Art

Tomi Ito Levin's Green Jade Oriental Art combines an artist gallery with an online art supply store. Have a look at the art gallery, then check out the store, offering fine quality Sumi art supplies. This site shows you don't need to invest a lot of money to open an online store. It uses the free and well-accepted 2CheckOut.com shopping cart and payment transaction system. In addition to web design and development, we also provided product photography and copywriting.

My web site was redesigned by MRM Web Design three years ago. With the new professional design and easy access to the online shopping my business has been steadily growing. MRM is reliable and fast with my updates and inquires so I am always happy. All my clients are so impressed by the beauty of the web site.

The Fifteen-Minute Meditator

The Fifteen-Minute Meditator is an alternate version of Mediate for Calm Awareness, named and packaged to appeal to a younger, on-the-go market looking for a quick-and-easy meditation and stress-relief system. The site emulates the open, fresh and clean look of the product design.

Like all of our newer sites, the Fifteen-Minute Meditator uses the latest CSS technology built into modern browsers. In Addition to web design, MRM Design also designed and produced the entire product, including the CD label, case cover and the accompanying 28-page booklet.

The Rudhyar Archival Project

The Rudhyar Archival Project is a vast site dedicated to the work of Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985) – avant-garde composer, abstract artist and philosopher of wholeness. The Archival Project currently includes an illustrated biography, many online books, loads of articles, an art gallery and much more.

The Rudhyar Archival Project, like all of the sites shown here, is entirely designed and developed by MRM Web + Graphic Design.

Organic Man Natural Foods

Organic Man, a Los Angeles area organic produce home delivery business, required a friendly, informative site giving customers a quick and easy way to place weekly orders, as well as to provide information about organic foods and recipes.

ShopOrganicMan.com features a fast and easy-to-use JavaScript "shopping list", which allows shoppers to place an order comprising dozens of items in a minute or two. The site is currently being upgraded with PHP and an SQL database which will feed the fast shopping list.

Michael R. Meyer is fast, efficient and very professional. He anticipated my needs before I was able to formulate them, leaving me free to build my business while he built my web site.

Pinnacle Strategies

Pinnacle Strategies, Inc. is a Los Angeles public relations and advocacy firm with clients in the Health Care, Real Estate, Non-Profit and Public Works sectors. As a service-based firm, Pinnacle Strategies needed a clean, business-like identity and a straight-forward, content-driven website. Working closely with the firm's principal, Loren Gonzalez-Kosmont, we designed a new logo and corporate identity package, as well as developed a web site for Pinnacle Strategies.

Michael R. Meyer is one of the best designers we have ever worked with. His reliability and responsiveness are second to none, and I never hesitate to recommend his services to colleagues or clients. Michael's attentiveness to client needs is a quality that is difficult to find in the service industry - he is truly a gem!

Meditate for Calm Awareness

Meditate for Calm Awareness is a highly aesthetic and appealing site dedicated to a doctrine-free meditation and stress-reduction practice originated by our associate designer, Sarah Kalvin. MRM Design not only designed the web site for Meditate for Calm Awareness, we also designed and produced the entire product, including the CD label, case cover and the accompanying 28-page booklet.

Cynthia MacAdams - The Soul of Photography

Cynthia MacAdams - The Soul of Photography, is an example of what we can do for established artists. The site required world-class design values and a presentation that would convey an appropriate tone and aesthetic to museum curators and gallery owners. We chose a clean, minimalistic design that anyone connected with a museum or an art gallery would recognize as quality. This site is one of our early web projects.

When friends first suggested I needed a web site, I was entirely computer illiterate and had only a vague notion of what the internet was about. Michael R. Meyer guided me through every step of making my online gallery a reality. Significantly, it was he who, after viewing my photos of friends and acting colleagues, suggested adding the 20th Century Icons section to my online gallery, which is responsible for bringing hundreds of new visitors to my site daily.

Michael possesses not only design skills of a very high caliber, but also has an uncanny insight into the artist's intent. Thanks to him, my work has reached a much wider audience than I ever thought possible.
