We would definitely recommend Scott Marlow. Scott is knowledgeable, accessible, resourceful and a nice guy who is easy to work with! The whole process of re-designing our out-dated website was broken down into understandable, logical steps so that we were able to launch our new site on time and within our budget.

Graphic Design: Jennifer Cepeda

My latest WordPress creation for artist, designer and illustrator, Jennifer Cepeda. A fellow West Seattle neighbor, Jennifer is building a portfolio of surface & pattern designs. She is currently represented by Pink Light Designs, and her first four collections will showcase at the May 2010 Surtex Show in New York.

Scott was terrific to work with! He accepted a very short deadline and helped me stay within my budget by offering alternatives for me to consider. I really appreciated his flexibility in helping me design my site, answering a million questions and working with a new hosting service outside of his standard practice. His style of service and responsiveness are invaluable!

Knowing When To Invest In Branding

Keeler Investments Group, LLC

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.

Tierra Landscape Design

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

March 8th, 2010 by Scott Marlow comment category: web design

Bravo Environmental

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.
