Custom web design and development
Arsenal Productions is really just me, Scott Poulin. I specialize in front end
development and design for the web, striving for usability, superior visual and interaction design, searchability, and adherence to web standards. I'm unusual in that I'm strong at both development (meaning code like PHP, javascript, CSS, and HTML) and design (meaning pleasing visuals).
Projects I work on:
- Designing and building web sites for small to medium sized organizations.
- Developing web sites for creative firms and agencies when they need outside help, or just prefer not to mess with code.
- Wordpress-based web sites. The number 1 Content Management System (CMS) in the world, running a quarter or more of all sites across the web. I build sites using completely custom themes, and consult on sites that use purchased themes and page builders.
- "Traditional" graphic design, like logo design, catalogs, brochures, signage, etc.
- Photography, abstract and not-so-abstract personal photographs.
- Oh yeah, I make and record music, too.
Why should you care?
Any of the above skills can be put to work for you. I'm a responsible, responsive freelance web designer, developer, and graphic designer who is interested in building lasting, professional relationships with my clients.

Services
web
- Development. Acronyms and buzzwords like Ajax, Bootstrap, CSS 3, HTML 5, jQuery, PHP, Responsive, SASS, SQL, and more are all part of my toolkit.
- Wordpress. Custom theme development that gives you exactly the amount of control and complexity you need. Consulting on sites built with purchased themes when you can't figure out where/how to make the changes you want.
- Design. Depending on budget, representative pages of your web site will be mocked up and presented in a variety of layouts and color schemes.
Proven, well-supported open-source technologies are used whenever possible, so your web site is stable, portable, and non-proprietary.
If you're a designer who doesn't want to deal with HTML, javascript, or (shudder) databases, send me your Photoshop mockup and I'll act as your web developer, including interfacing with your client if you so desire.
If you're a creative agency and you need development support I am here for you.
print marketing
- Logo creation. You will be presented with a broad range of options and a round or two of iterations and exploration.
- Brand package. This typically includes your logo, collateral materials such as letterhead and business cards, email signature, and document templates (usually Microsoft Word and PowerPoint).
- Printed catalog, brochure, mailing, and advertising design, including concepts and production.
