Grant Hainsworth and Mike Byers just launched their new website for Crete Consulting. The 100% CSS site highlights their consulting and engineering projects, and includes a password-protected FTP area for clients to upload and download files.

Knowing When To Invest In Branding

If your business is investing in other businesses, then you have no shortage of customers. My latest WordPress website for Keeler Investments Group, LLC is short on branding and long on ease-of-use and functionality.

The site features a standard WordPress theme, with slight modifications to the typeface and header.

Brick and Mortar

Walter Sepulveda asked me for help updating the static website for his Seattle landscape design company, Tierra Landscape.

The new site features an open-source content management system, expanded photo gallery, and a page for Spanish speakers.

Cleaning Up Websites

A website makeover for Bravo Environmental. After inspecting the accessibility and usability of the original site, I located the underlying problem: an over-engineered site for engineers. Al Schumacher swept me into the project.

Site repairs included cleaning up the ASP code, cutting out redundant HTML and vacuuming up 5 nested tables to make content updates easier. Image-based headers were jettisoned to make room for search engine-friendly text-based headers. Site maintenance also involved adding pages to the site map.

You get the idea. Thanks to Beegee Tolpa for the graphic design.

The Food Watchdog

When your diet is threatened by BHT and BHA; with mercury; with genetically modified, genetically engineered false foods – you need protection. TheFoodWatchdog.com provides original, investigative food journalism articles to present you with food facts.

My redesigned WordPress website for two-time Pulitzer winning former Seattle P.I. writer, Andrew Schneider. The food journalism blog includes special features and food alerts, as well as a Word of the Week.

Schneider just signed a deal with AOL (that’s not another Big Ag additive – that’s America Online) as Senior Public Health Correspondent.

My First Logo

A makeover for Toni Cross’ container gardening website. Toni and I worked together choosing a new, softer palette for her site – while I dug into my first logo design. Technically, it’s a font treatment for her company name, and tagline: beauty in small spaces.

I converted Toni’s nested table-based website to a hybrid CSS-table site last season. In the future, we can use CSS to implement seasonal colors for her site skin too.
