Pursuing Energy Self-Sufficiency

Pursuing Energy Self-Sufficiency

CSS/XHTML Development: Scott Marlow

Heritage Renewables helps tribes achieve energy independence by providing  consulting and management services for wind energy projects. Google Sites, which hosted the former website, does not support Cascading Style Sheets. So editing site content and making sitewide layout changes was laborious.

I launched a 100% CSS website with an open source Content Management System. Graphic design by Beegee Tolpa. Hosting provided by Advanced, LLC out of Vancouver, Washington. Kyle Smith, principal, can now edit content freely, while strengthening his brand image.

Websites for Health, Not Wealth

CSS web development: Scott Marlow | Marketing By Marlow

A new hand-coded CSS website for the Center on Infant Mental Health & Development (CIMHD) — part of the University of Washington School of Nursing.

CIMHD promotes “interdisciplinary research, education and practice; and advances policy related to the social and emotional development of all children during the first five years.

According to CIMHD, “the quality of experiences in the first 3 years of life profoundly impacts later development — including how children perform in school and their ability to form satisfying relationships with teachers and friends. Caring relationships with sensitive parents, or primary caregivers, are the most important factor in determining later outcomes.

How true. In life, relationships are often the key to success or failure. At work, for example, your relationship with your web development team is the most important factor in determining the outcome of your new website or redesign.

Accessible Design. Accessible Websites.

XHTML/CSS Development: Scott Marlow, Marketing By Marlow

Karen L. Braitmayer, FAIA, needed a website to promote her accessible design consulting. The site needed to be accessible by assistive devices, so WAI/508 guidelines had to be considered.

The new site is 100% CSS, and displays in assistive devices. Unlike table-based web designs, CSS web sites are adaptive to a  wider range of web browsers.

Even communicators must communicate. Rita Cipalla launches Cipalla.com.

  • “Your site looks great, very professional, easy to navigate.”
  • “I love the web site. Very cool– very crisp!”
  • “The vibrancy of color, the content of your test, your graphics,everything is TOP-NOTCH….just outstanding! So professional yet warm and engaging.”
  • “Very impressive website. I quickly and easily, with interest, viewed the whole thing. Very professional, to the point, and logical.”
  • “I like the feel and look of it. It says a lot without feeling heavy.”
  • “I checked your website. My, oh, my, it’s lovely. I felt like I was floating through the background images — very ethereal. The colors are great.”

“Scott was so easy to work with. He was thoughtful, good-natured and ever-so-patient with the many tweaks and edits that I made to my web site during the HTML design phase. He willingly considered each of my requests, regardless of how small, and was honest in his assessment and recommendation. I’m very pleased with how my site turned out, and I continue to get great feedback on it.”
