Comment Issues

If you have tried to leave a comment on Fringe and been redirected to a “Your comment is being moderated” paged, then that means this blog is LYING to you. It is in fact being shuttled to some nether region where bad computer code and dictators roast in a boiling mixture of turpentine, lemon juice, [...]

BassClef Wood Furnishings

BassClef needed a simple redesign that accented the small home wood furnishing business’s excellent wood working skills, especially outlining the work it had already done for such clients as local chapels and parishes, and residential work. To this end, Fringe went with a wood theme that spanned pages and kept the pages sparse and clean, [...]

Floyd County GIS

With the need for a clean and crisp GIS site, Floyd requested a site design that would also reflect a thematic connection with its mountain location. The site utilizes a fully liquid layout designed to expand or contract depending on browser window size. Additionally, all tool buttons are CSS activated, ensuring maximum compatibility across platforms.

Floyd County

Floyd County administrators saw a way to increase awareness of Floyd County’s many positive attributes and characteristics by redesigning their website to be more user-friendly and filled with content that would prove useful to both residents and visitors. The new site features plenty of photographs and clean site graphics, along with easy-to-read textual information, color [...]

Needing an online presence to compete with local and regional custom construction businesses, Surrey Builders Inc. came to Fringe Design with a simple request: make a website that’s easy to use and contains information vital and highly relevant to our local clients. With those things in mind, the site features an easy tabbed navigation scheme [...]

Resolve Entertainment

Resolve Entertainment needed a placeholder site for simple web presence. Presenting the user with a focused selection of project Resolve is currently working on keeps the site small and highlights everything the company wants to be known for.

A Slight Change in Wording

It’s time to say what is surely on the hearts, tips, tongues, lips, and toes of everyone who has encountered the shameful farce of Valentine’s Day: Is Western Culture this desperate? The answer, in case you want to skip the diatribe below, is yes. Congratulations. You may now go home and bump the mattress with [...]

Time and Again

I’m always doubly and triply astonished at the manic pace of time for me these days. There’s simply no hint of moderation or even sad but useless regret–it’s just gone without a whisper, without a trace of its former glory or presence. Time just isn’t what it used to be. Thankfully, I still have more [...]

How Future People Fly

Strange, the principle that brought interstellar travel to the far-flung gallery of planets that had, by then, multiplied to over their allotted capacity. It arrived as formula, sequential mathematics combined with a strange, Judeo-Christian coda. E=mc2 was the algorithm, seventy times seven the story. Peace was the price of Science.
