Below you can see my most recent work. Most of these jobs have been design/build. I work closely with my clients to come up with good solid design built upon a reliable framework.

The Cool Girls
Cool Girls, Inc. is dedicated to the self-empowerment of girls in low-income communities.
They provide the tools to help girls make positive choices to achieve academic success, break the cycles of teen pregnancy and poverty and to overcome the barriers of racism and sexism. Their programs instill confidence and provide exposure to a broader world of opportunity through mentoring relationships, academic support, life and health skills education, field trips and service learning projects. Our mission is achieved through the collaborative efforts of volunteers, staff, program sites and the local community in active partnership with the girls and their parents/caregivers.
CoolGirls needed a cost effective alternative to the cumbersome and expensive website they had. Developed and maintained by an outside company, many layers and expense were involved with simple updates. I took over that maintenance as I worked with the organization the new site.
I gave them a new, simple look, and the ability to update the front page, and news sections of their site. Forms were added for volunteering and tracking of those volunteers.
I later added a sub-site to promote their yearly fundraiser, “the Hot Pink Party“- giving them the ability to sell tickets to the event, sign up sponsors and receive donations.
Harmony Chorus
Atlanta’s International Youth Chorus offers 100 youths, ages 6 to 18, from diverse racial, cultural, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds the opportunity to develop teamwork, tolerance, and mutual respect as they strive for musical excellence. Believing that music is a barrier-breaker and a powerful medium of self-expression, HARMONY sings messages of peace, justice, hope, reconciliation and unity in 35 languages. HARMONY embraces the belief that training culturally diverse children to perform together benefits the quality of life in our communities and in our world.
Harmony was in need of a website that was inexpensive and easy to update. Being a non-profit, they depend on donations and volunteers to help over 100 youths and their families to participate in their truly wonderful work. We wanted to create something that celebrated their diversity and commitment to kids, and also give the volunteers something they could easily add updates to. We automated their calendars and gave them the ability to add pictures and breaking news to the site, all at a cost that would not be too significant to an organization that depends on donations.
Twain’s Billiards & Tap
Twain’s is a full service brewpub, restaurant, and poolhall located in downtown Decatur, GA. Open since 1996, they have been brewing their own crafted ales since November 2006.
My job was to re-design their identity from top to bottom. We worked together to create a “badge” of Mark Twain, then applied the design and thinking behind that work to all other aspects of promotion; business cards, posters, ads and, of course, their website. Good folks, these guys… they make working with them a dream. Check out some of the great photography on the site courtesy of Joe Cillo.
The site is a fully functional CMS, allowing many levels of authors and ways to update. They can update directly, by email, tweet, or from Facebook.
Reuben’s Deli
Reuben’s Deli has served up their famous made-to-order sandwiches, fresh soups and salads in downtown Atlanta since 1996. Folks line up out the door at lunch-time daily for their hearty and healthy fare.
This was a fun job. How could it not be? A nice client, willing to give suggestion, and take advice. We did it quickly, inexpensively, and even threw in some fun photography by the great Joe Cillo to spice things up.
This is functioning as a static site, but is built for the ready. As soon as the client is ready, it can be turned over for him to update and change.
Clements & Sweet Attorneys at Law
The law firm of Clements & Sweet specializes in Workers’ Compensation and Employment litigation.
This was a new entry into online media for this firm. I built them a small simple site that enabled easy contact from potential clients, and gave access to the firm to update their own site.
Levisay Consulting
Levisay Consulting helps create opportunities to build businesses by working on the things that matter – leading teams, serving customers and building brands.
This was an interesting project. As a former executive, Mr. Levisay needed branding and online impact to support his entry in the crowded consulting world. It didn’t hurt that he has a unique philosophy that he has written about– which we incorporated into the site.
This was a very beneficial launch for Levisay Consulting and from this platform he has been able to further his career in many area of business, and now works as Chief Customer Officer at Bolthouse Farms.
Context Gallery
(context) specializes in classic modern and contemporary licensed furniture, lighting and accessories. Their original site was dominated by flash and did not have any Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in place. With the re-design of their site and a targeted Google Ads campaign, their search profile rose considerably.
The next step is to take this mostly “brochure-ware” site, and begin taking online orders.
