This business owner needed a site to offer horse riding programs and provide easy registration and payment for lessons and summer camps.

This HOA web site was designed to give this small community a tool to provide comprehensive, useful, up-to-date information to the residents. The site dynamically displays news and events. Residents can sign up to receive newsletters.

The business owner wanted a clean, simple, logical web site, plus a logo, tag line, slideshow, a link to the Client System, and business cards. "I have had so much positive feedback - thank you so much!!!!" - T.H. (owner)

A calendar/event scheduling capability was added to this existing movie theatre site. The site owner inputs movies, show times, and other events through an Administrator program. The site displays an interactive calendar and automatically lists upcoming events.

The owner had an existing site but was looking for more economical hosting, and faster and less costly web site updates. The site was moved to new hosting and was up and running with a new class schedule in time for Winter registration.

The existing site was completely redone to be more friendly, inviting, and exciting. A new color scheme was implemented and photos were optimized and placed alongside related information instead of in separate photo galleries.

The original web site was completely re-designed to provide more effective marketing of the products and shopping cart capability.

This site replaced an existing site that was out-dated. Colors, design, and graphics match the client's new brochure.

Plenty of photos, a country fun style, and an Event Calendar were the requirements for this site. The calendar includes an administrator panel for adding events and displays this month's and next month's events in a list on the home page.

I re-wrote this site and now maintain it. The site owner wanted email marketing so I signed her up for Constant Contact, imported her existing mailing list, designed a newsletter that matches her site, and added a mailing list signup to her site.

For this new Pet Care site, I designed a custom logo and banner. The site owner wanted a bright, fun, uncluttered site that incorporated some of her own photos.

A local nonprofit group requested this site to educate the community on preventing falls in the elderly. Still in progess, the site will dynamically show upcoming events and news headlines. Board members have a password-protected section of the site.

This client requested a simple but elegant senior-friendly site to showcase their Medical Advocacy services.  I worked very closely with the client to create exactly the look and feel they wanted for their site.

Photos, drawings, a business card and information from an in-depth interview were combined to create this business card web site for a draftsman. The logo was created by re-designing a scanned business card.

I designed this site for a local artist to replace an existing site that was out-dated. A recent revision implements an entirely CSS-based popup photo gallery.

My women's networking group needed a site to provide links to our businesses and invite new members. I also designed the logo.

The hosting expired and the site owner needed a site up and running quickly to help promote an upcoming event. I got their site 'live' in a few days, complete with photos, documents, and links.

This Senior Interest Group needed a site to promote their Annual Senior Expo and provide resource info for each member.  Accessibility was a priority.

The client wanted the look of this site to match the company brochure and to be easy to navigate for seniors.

This 50-page site was re-written from FrontPage 2000, which has been discontinued. In addition to the re-write, I added a mailing list capability and an Event Calendar.

A young entrepreneur needed a site up and running in one week to promote her business for an upcoming major event. I also created the logo.

I took over maintenance of this site and did a complete re-write to replace tables and use XHTML/CSS, while keeping the site looking identical to the original.
