Travis Isaacs is a user experience designer and developer. This is his work.
Despite all of the screenshots and hand-waving, it's very difficult to communicate exactly what I do. I'm passionate about delivering business value through good design. I believe in a minimal design aesthetic and unobtrusive user interfaces.

Tron: Legacy (Gamestop)
November, 2010
Look past the Light Cycles and you’ll find a slick “game shelf” that helps tame the complexity of displaying multiple game platforms and editions.
Kongregate (Gamestop)
October, 2010
This page was my first tip-toe into making an AJAX request for JSONP formatted data. Try to to waste all day playing the games on this page though.
Leisure Arts iPad App
August, 2010
You may not know this about me, but I’m a sucker for needlework and crochet. Not really. This app was designed for Leisure Arts craft customers shop for new craft projects from the comfort of their iPad.
E3 (Gamestop)
June, 2010
While it’s technically a micro-site, this project packed a lot functionality into just four pages that helped Gamestop deliver live coverage to thousands (nay, tens of thousands) of their most died-hard customers.
ShopKeep.com

Shopkeep is a nifty web-based point-of-sale solution whose aim is to free small merchants of the huge (no really, huge) cost of buying/leasing a traditional point-of-sale system.

Improving’s annual gathering of Dallas’s brightest minds from the Software Development and Agile communities.
Improving Enterprises
August, 2009
Improving’s corporate home is a perfect example of how WordPress can be used as a content management system. Nearly every piece of content on this site is editable from the cozy WordPress admin, allowing the marketing team to act on a moments notice.
Blinksale.com
July, 2009
I designed a visual refresh Blinksale.com (and ported the site to WordPress) to mark their acquisition by DoubleWide. Besides a fresh coat of paint, we streamlined the sign-up process and did a better job of converting new users.
RadioTime Web Tuner
February, 2009
Tuning in radio for over 28 million unique visitors per month is no easy task. I designed a web tuner interface that scales to a wide variety of metadata and listening scenarios.

Info Pogo
December, 2008
I’ve got a special place in my heart for good information design. Info Pogo is a very cool aggregator for housing, demographic, commute, and employment data for just about anywhere in the U.S.
Tattoo Information Form
July, 2008
This project was my first exercise in designing a paper form. Inspired by how poor government forms can be, I re-interepreted form guidelines laid out by the Indiana Board of Health and created an awesome, easy to understand form used by thousands of people a year. Oh, and I made it with Keynote.
Viewzi Corporate Site
April, 2008
It’s offline now, but this was Viewzi’s corporate home. Powered by sexy design and Expression Engine, this site made quite a few rounds on the CSS/design showcase roundups. Wait, is that a good thing?
Readingglasses.com
November, 2007
In 2007 I had the chance to make a big change to the ReadinGlasses.com website (a site that I redesigned way back in 2004 too). The changes myself and the ReadinGlasses team made have made a big improvement in conversion and retention.
Travelocity iPhone Web Application
November, 2007
I had a lot of fun diving into the still new world of mobile webkit and designing for an iPhone-specific context. Oh, working directly with Apple was pretty cool, too.
Sabre Virtually There Mobile
May, 2007
Before vendor-specific mobile markup and HTML5, there was XHTML-MP. The SVT mobile portal was designed to help busy business travelers track flights and manage their itineraries from any web-enabled phone with a browser.
RadioTime.com
February, 2006
This work is so old that I’m reluctant to show it to you. I’ve come a long way since 2004-2006. Despite it’s dated (and somewhat questionable) aesthetics, the foundation the RadioTime team and I laid way back then have rocketed RadioTime into an radio data market leader. Today RadioTime serves up over 50 million listening sessions per month.
Booyah.
