Here’s a band website that I developed. It’s our Christian band One Less Lost. This is a WordPress platform with a downloaded open source theme which I’ve modified slightly. You’ll note the Twitter and Facebook feed in the right column. We try to keep this fairly active so our fans will check back often and talk about it with friends, who in turn follow/like us. There are band member about us pages at the top.

Also we have several videos from YouTube embedded on the site which help to increase the visual interest and hold our visitor’s attention. Regular write-ups for the band Goings-on help keep our fans checking back in frequently also.

What Russ, the owner, needed: Here’s a case where he already had an existing site with plenty of good content, but needed a new design, new navigation, and to basically combine two sites with two different technologies to make the experience seamless.

What I did: I created a fresh, clean, professional design and re-organized the navigation to be simpler and cleaner. Nearly all the content was preserved, except some he felt was unnecessary any more.

What they needed: Here’s a case where they already had an existing site with plenty of content, but needed a new design and new navigation.

What I did: I created a fresh, clean, professional design and re-organized their navigation to be more intuitive. Almost all the content was preserved, except some they felt was unnecessary. This site is again based on WordPress, and their new webmaster was able to very quickly learn the interface.

What they needed: They wanted a way to communicate with parents of Cub Scouts, Leaders, and the Cub Scouts themselves, as well as more visibility for Cub Scouts in the North Conway, New Hampshire area.

What I did: Since I’m also a Den Leader, I knew I was in the perfect position to design and develop a website for such a great cause. The website is based on WordPress blogging software, and leaders or parents can easily add more content.

What they needed: Again, as a division of the Memorial Hospital in North Conway, New Hampshire, they wanted a website that had the same style as the other divisions, but their own character and content.

What I did: based on the design template set out for each of the hospital divisions, I developed the website in WordPress, styling it in the same manner but adding their own content and personality.

What they wanted: as a division of the Memorial Hospital in North Conway, New Hampshire, management wanted websites with a similar look and “feel,” but their own distinctive character and content.

What I did: I developed the site on WordPress, laying out the design styles according to the template for the new Memorial Hospital divisions.

What they needed: They wanted a dynamic website that would tell visitors exactly who they were, what they did, showed information on all their providers, services, a place to write articles, employment opportunities, and a place where patients could create an account and transact with the office.

What I did: I created a fully dynamic, database-generated website that is easily changed, has a secure patient account center, full information on providers, services, employment, location maps, a calendar, and more! All with clean, lightweight, standards-compliant HTML and CSS, for great search engine optimization, of course.

What they needed: The Conway Public Library wanted to re-organize their site, and also wanted a facelift. They had a huge amount of content and no consistent way to organize it. The navigation was different on every page, making it difficult to determine where you were or where you wanted to go.

What I did: I helped them develop a consistent navigation structure, simple, clean design, and added some database searching functionality for their vital records. Now all their most-looked at pages are easily accessible, while the whole site loads faster due to clean html and an all-css structure and design. It can be changed very easily now, too, and they do that themselves!

What they needed: Here’s a site that’s been developing rapidly since 1996. Since the dawn of the modern internet, when the name Amazon was still associated with a river in South America, this site has gone through monumental changes. Right now Whitehorse is based on the osCommerceMagento shopping cart, but under the hood is a very customized package optimized for selling motorcycle gear as one of the big names in the industry.

What I did: I’m their team-of-one Webmaster (my full time job), plus I’m their Managing Editor. It might be easier and quicker to list what I didn’t do to this site. Hmmm… let me think for a minute…there’s nothing I didn’t do to develop, program, design, optimize, or otherwise create this one-of-a-kind (very busy!) website!
