Portfolio
I have built and worked on many sites, including
Lucinda Berry
Jerri Williams
The Creative Penn
I provide ongoing maintenance and updates including SSL and plugin replacements due to conflicts, and I add new features on request. Recent changes include tweaks to the site’s AMP pages, a new more efficient search feature, and the addition of a search box in the menu bar.
Andrew Watts
Lateral Action
Mark is also a current support client.
Author Website in a Box
Online Plumbing Advice.com
I replaced the theme with a better design, tweaked it to suit his blogging style, and fixed spelling and formatting errors in the content. I also added the usual security and SEO plugins on the backend.
Kylie Quillinan
This was a small project, but I am pleased with how it came out.
Lisa Lilly
I added HTTPS, imported blog posts from Lisa’s old blog, and then moved the site from Godaddy to Bluehost. The site is now faster, costs less to run, and and will have better SEO as a result of the added blog posts.
Wiki / FAQ
At one point I looked into building a turnkey website hosting service, and as part of that process I also set up an FAQ where users can find answers.
There are several free FAQ themes for WP, but they all looked awful. So in addition to answering all the questions, I also had to modify the CSS and layout so that the site actually looked nice.
It was a small project, but a fun one because it was such a change of pace.
Dreamwatch
I created a new front page for the site, and added a second blog. The new home page is designed to bring all three of Dreamwatch’s main activities to your attention, and entices you to find out more.
Allise Hurd
The New Praetorians
Waystone Press
NOVA Writing Events
Atomic Centaur
Jody Lebel
Jody Lebel is a book narrator and voice-over actor. She wanted a simple single-page site which promoted her services. The site I built (and host) is colorful in an understated way. It tells visitors what they need to know without getting in the way.
Mystic Writers
Mystic Writers is a small collective of writers based in Connecticut. Their site was scratch-built, and deliberately kept simple so that you noticed their work rather than the site itself.
Tom Fowler Writes
Tom Fowler is a thriller author. I host his websites, and I also recently rebuilt his author site using a one-page template. It’s simple, but I really like it.
Julia Vee
This was a simple rebrand, and it came out rather well. Julia is an established SF author with a new urban fantasy series which was being shopped to publishers. I had to rebrand her site so that it looked less like an SF author’s site and more like the site of an urban fantasy author. I did not have a lot to work with (the series is still unpublished) but I think this project came out well.
Burns & Lea Books
This was a simple website refresh project for a publisher based in Louisville. I was tasked with cleaning up the design without significantly changing it. (I like these smaller refresh jobs. They’re not profitable but it’s nice to be able to leave a site looking better than it before I started.)
Northern Virginia Writers Club
My local writing club’s new website was a fun project which I proposed and carried out pro bono. It has a simple design which we all think looks great.
