The work that follows represents a portion of my tasks while employed at Wyndham Vacation Ownership (WVO), the world’s largest vacation ownership business. Please note that WVO was formerly Cendant Timeshare Resort Group, and Wyndham Vacation Resorts was formerly Fairfield Resorts. I’ve arranged each entry in the order it was designed.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Web site

The Wyndham Vacation Ownership company Web site was designed to contain company information, a media center, and career opportunities. I designed and built the HTML and CSS for several template pages that were to be used with a content management system. The site was never made live, but I have provided original mock ups.

Extra Holidays® by Wyndham Web sites

Extra Holidays® by Wyndham, a resort condominium rental operator and part of Wyndham Vacation Ownership, wanted to increase online visitors through search engine optimization by creating mini-sites for select properties. I designed a Web site template that would be easy to update for each resort and provided a different style sheet to change the color palette based on region. I’ve provided original mock ups.
