Adam Dau from Providence Swings was looking for a really dramatic change to their existing site, something to reflect the energetic and fun nature of the Providence based group of swing dancers. The group offers lessons, workshops and swing dance events in the Rhode Island area. The new look emerged from a number of designs when Adam pulled up his sleeves and revealed his amazing graphic design skills creating the vibrant and colorful header for the site and incorporated his graphics in other areas of the site. We also were able to tackle the challenge of how to handle their somewhat complicated registration process as well.

It was a pleasure working with Adam throughout the development of this project. Please check out their site and perhaps sign up for one of their dance sessions!

Michelle Cordani had a template website that was difficult to maintain and desperately needed structure, design, and a strong web presence for her nutritional health business Pure Intentions. Incorporating colors and images and moving content into an effective structure has allowed her website to more effectively communicate the focus of her business. Michelle works with clients to educate them on how to read food labels and make the right food choices to help you understand how to eliminate toxins in your life, lose weight, and bring balance to your life. She works closely with clients to cater to their specific needs whether its just a desire to improve energy, be better educated about food choices, or to lose weight.

Helen Rainoff was in need of a logo and website for her newly formed business Getting Centered Meditation. It was important to have the design incorporate more than just your typical lotus flower and ying yang icons as the meditation focus is on group meditation for organizations and people in the work place. This was something different, new, that should appeal to both the corporate level as well as the need of individuals to gain more focus and clarity in the course of their busy work days. The logo and design and look of the web site evolved through a number of revisions until we arrived at the final product which just works. Helen was a pleasure to work with and I so appreciate her thoughtful attention to detail through every step of the process.

My friend Mira of Whimsy Beads, had an old website which I had designed years ago that was time consuming to maintain as it was built. We moved everything over to a new WordPress installation, keeping the original design and simplifying the portfolio as she is selling most of her work on Etsy now. Now she will be able to update the gallery when she needs to add new designs and interface with her social media to keep her customers up to date with her shows and special events.

Ed Dolan finally found the time to look into a website for his busy Metrowest Boston building and remodeling business, Dolan Remodeling. As often is the case, clients know they need a website but just can’t find the time or right person to work with. I designed the logo and website to capture the wide range of experience that Dolan Remodeling offers. The extensive photo gallery showcases many of the diverse projects Ed has been involved with. I am glad he found the time to work with me on this project!

A redesign was in order for the Hopkinton Chamber website. Originally designed as a static HTML/CSS website, I moved the existing content into a brand new WordPress framework. Now members can make timely contributions to the site themselves with blog entries, event updates, and other important chamber business without waiting for me to put changes in for them. The net result is greatly improved communications to chamber members which had previously be lacking greatly.

Nancy Warren and Janice Welenc are both lifelong gardeners who have been designing gardens throughout the Boston area since 1990, yet they never found the time to put together a website. This was a delightful web project for me as I have benefited from their excellent garden design skills. We put their site up in time for some important jobs they were bidding on.

Commercial Interior Designer, Noel Sior-Woodard, had an outdated template site she had built and was looking for something much more professional and classy for her business, Woodard Interiors. We worked hard to find the layout that worked with her vision and built this WordPress/Thesis site to bring an elegant new online presence to her interior design business.

Pat Kuehne, Daily Money Manager and owner of Balance Your Checks, had a Typepad blog for her website that was in great need of an update. We created a new logo, a new design and moved all her blogs and other content over to a new Wordrpress site with the Thesis theme and quickly got her going with a fresh new look.

The CAA website was recently moved over to a WordPress platform which I developed using the Thesis theme. Keeping the same format as the previous site, the look is pretty much the same but now with great functionality. Board members now can keep the website up-to-date themselves as needed. The 3 column layout can be carried consistently through the entire website so calendar events and other sidebar widgets can be seen on every page on the site.
