AnAmericanInVienna.com
This site is built in WordPress, although it would be difficult to tell at a glance. It is also one of the rare sites that makes use of background music effectively, with option to toggle the soft, classical background tunes on and off on each page.
StrongEntertainment.com
Comedy Magician Robert Strong’s new design is built completely into WordPress and includes many great features, such as a newsletter plugin where subscribers are tracked through the site, advanced SEO and social networking.
ConstitutionalBOE.com
A very-highly customized WordPress-based site with forums, groups, membership and a new system that allows users to rate the posts and comments of others. Members are then sorted according to their reputation.
LasCrucesSwing.com
The New Mexico State University swing/social dance club wanted a great site to showcase their classes, dances and events. Members of the group can easily update all aspects of the site and blog through WordPress, keeping the community up-to-date on new events.
WaltersWholesomeGoods.com
This simple, clean and efficient design is soon to host a shopping cart system where customers will soon be able to purchase various products from Walter’s bee harvest right on the site.
AlliePhillips.com
A nice, clean site built in WordPress with a custom newsletter system. In addition to doing all of the development and WordPress coding, I also created was the “mesh” of the pets in the header.
JacquelineKlosek.com
This WordPress site used a Woothemes template as a starting point. I did quite a bit of involved customization to the theme, making sure the blog teasers appeared on the front page with all the statistics and styling the interior pages to load slightly different elements depending on the page.
WrittenOffAmerica.com
Longtime debt collector and new author Jerry Ashton needed a multi-faceted website to go along with his book project. Jerry receives material for his upcoming book each week from people all over the world. I designed, developed, and continue to maintain the site, which is built in WordPress.
GordonCurtis.net
This site was built in standard HTML and CSS. I designed the background and layout of the header and designed the layout of the interior pages as well.
Ross, Faculty at SUNY Albany
It’s always nice to have a web designer in the family, right? I built this site for my brother, a meteorologist and faculty teacher at SUNY Albany in New York. The site is in plain-old HTML with a nice Lightbox-based photography section where Ross can add his own photos.
Columbia Univeristy Medical Center Pediatrics
For this project I built a series of maps with clickable “thumbtacks” using a tried-and-true technique known as HTML area mapping. Each thumbtack links to a different page where another smaller map resides. I designed the maps as well.
ChristineWhitehead.com
I designed the header and the layout for the homepage on this site, which I converted from a book site to a site where the author could also feature her upcoming work. This site is built on WordPress.
TheMatchStory.com
I built this site with standard HTML and CSS, and added a nice, custom rollover navigation system.
TheGreatOfficeEscape.com
A great example of custom WordPress theme design, The Great Office Escape was a large project. I designed the entire website using WordPress and also created the graphics for the slideshow on the front page. The website is a place of support and motivation for prospective entrepreneurs.
WilliamEamon.com
For New Mexico State University professor William Eamon’s site I decided on a simple WordPress theme to fit the design and build a multi-sidebar layout that allowed for varying content depending on the page. I also designed the title image for his blog, “Labyrinth of Nature” and worked it into the design.
