• Gretchen LaSalle, a doctor based in Spokane, Wash., approached me to build a website in preparation for the publication of her first book. It accommodates Dr. LaSalle’s regular blog in addition to videos and science news related to her passion project – vaccines and immunizations.
• The website is WordPress-based, built on a GeneratePress template and adapts to browsers on desktop or laptop computers, tablets or phones.
• One of my co-workers at the Valley News, photographer Jennifer Hauck, asked me to create a site that features her wedding photography.
• It’s a straight-forward set-up, with galleries of the featured weddings and a home page slideshow highlighting her great work.
• I was first introduced to Jennifer when she was a local pediatrician for a mutual friend’s children. Now living in the Atlanta area, Jennifer is an energetic doctor who is also an author, a regular on CNN Health and the ReachMD podcasts.
• The site features feeds from her blog and Twitter pages.
• I have been working with Jill Grimes for some time now. An energetic family practitioner in Austin, Tex., Jill has recently published The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook, a follow-up to her successful book Seductive Delusions: How Everyday People Catch STDs.
• We have melded her older HTML/CSS and Blogger websites into one WordPress website, using GeneratePress for its structure. It is now mobile-friendly and one-stop shopping for Jill’s latest writing and media appearances.
• After seeing the work I had done for one of my clients, prolific author and poet Louis Phillips asked me to create a similar site that highlights his writing and photography.
• With navigation at the top and bottom of each page, the site is separated into categories and uses the simple photo gallery treatment I’ve used on other sites.
• A few years ago, I designed a web site for Swallow, Mary Cappello’s book about the work of Chevalier Jackson and his collection at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. We eventually added her other books to the site.
• Later, we started fresh with a WordPress shell from Graph Paper Press to blend the work of two other sites (and added the above content as well). It’s dynamic, changing to fit the size of the screen the reader is using (computer, tablet or phone). It also has the option to add a blog.
• After taking down her editing website a few years ago, I helped Nicola Smith come back with a simpler and better version that highlights her work – including an upcoming play about women veterans – and also can incorporate a blog down the road.
• The tablet- and phone-friendly website uses a GeneratePress template that we customized, and also includes SSL security. It’s great to see Nicola getting the word out about her work because I’m a huge fan (and her husband!).
• The amazing illustration work of the late Paul Galdone is now online in a site maintained by his children. Galdone created the art work for hundreds of children’s books, book jackets and novels, including some that I read to my daughter when she younger. I felt very honored to be part of the project.
• The site uses WordPress architecture with a Graph Paper Press template to display the illustrations full-screen. We went with WordPress to allow for updates through a News section and other additions down the road.
• On the recommendation from another of my clients, Josh Rising approached me to help build a new website for his healthcare consulting business.
• Using a GeneratePress template, the website’s navigation leads to other elements on its single page. I also set up the domain name, hosting and security certificate for the WordPress-based site, which adapts across all platforms.
• With an accumulation of parts in our attics and garages, my friend Alex Hanson and I thought it would be good to launch a website to expand our reach (and bypass the fees of sites like eBay). We’re also selling new and used parts on commission from others looking to clear space.
• The website is WordPress-based with SSL security, using the GeneratePress template so it is tablet/mobile-friendly. With a WooCommerce store and shopping cart, we’re able to process payments via PayPal. Our young website has shipped parts as far away as Australia!
