Hanford ARC
Hanford Applied Restoration & Conservation is a licensed general engineering and landscape contractor working in central and northern California. The company specializes in wetland mitigation and restoration, stream construction, soil bioengineering, revegetation, park construction and erosion control. I designed and built this new web site, which is extensive and content-rich and features a nifty DHTML image viewer.

Gabeler Battocchi Griggs & Powell, PLLC
Big city lawyers with a small town approachability. Attorneys practice primarily in the areas of family law, estate planning, civil litigation, and business and contracts law. I designed and constructed the web site, helped write and edit content, took photos, and now manage search engine positioning.

Society for the Social Studies of Science
This scientific society needed a totally redesigned web site with a modern graphic design and restructured navigation. I produced all components of this project. Editorial contributors use an inexpensive content management system to keep the site up to date.

Eric Waters, Guitarist
For this guitar player and teacher extraordinaire I provided a simple, elegant site to support his personal marketing efforts.

NPKtools
A small software and consulting company specializing in HR compensation analysis. I did not design their compensation analysis web site, but provide ongoing consulting for search engine optimization, pay-per-click campaign management, email marketing, copy writing, and marketing strategy.

Alley Cat Allies
Alley Cat Allies produces a wealth of information, products, and services for people who are interested in the welfare of feral cats. They needed a sizable web site with high aesthetic standards that they could maintain themselves. With their active involvement, I produced all the components of this site, from information architecture to graphic design.

Globalization of Science
Small for now, this is "Project Central" for a section of the World Summit on the Information Society. Contains a subsite on an academic project studying the impact of the Internet on scientific collaboration in the Third World.

The Coffee Potter
Here is a gallery site I designed for my brother, who is an artist in clay. The site uses DHTML to enable the thumbnail navigation and the enlargements to exist on the same page, making it faster and much more comfortable to view all the images.

Zetek, maker of the OvaCue
A small public company with a proprietary ovulation prediction technology, Zetek needed comprehensive web marketing services to help position them for success. Their product is sold only through the web, so capturing qualified traffic is paramount. My contribution to this ongoing effort has included web design, content development, search engine optimization, and press releases.

Greco & Greco
This Northern Virginia law firm has a distinguished practice in securities arbitration and litigation. They needed a web site that would reflect the stature of a nationwide practice and generate new business. Ongoing serch engine optimization work has led to top-ten rankings on many important keywords. I also manage their pay-per-click campaign.

Drinking Water Research Foundation
A simple, attractive site I designed for the research arm of a trade association. Features include a fading news scroller and password security.

Kentucky Fried Basketball Association
Fantasy basketball will never be the same now that KFBA.net has launched. These guys have the ideas and the drive needed to make a startup succeed. I did not design their web site, however I have consulted on marketing and search engine placement and designed a series of magazine ads (1.4Mb).

Jennifer's Fund
A very inexpensive site created to support the work of a family foundation that serves teenage women in Vermont.

The Bandido
This is a very low-budget site advertising a sailboat for sale.

The National Center for Cultural Competence
This public education center at Georgetown University required a more up-to-date and functional web site. I led the content side of the project for lead contractor GMR, which included facilitating content reorganization decisions around a new information architecture. I also built the html. Graphic design is by Bill Pragluski.

Animark
This is a simple small business site offering technology for, um, animal husbandry. The main design goals were to be accessible and comfortable for ranchers and farmers and to load quickly on slow rural connections.

OnCourse
I wrote a successful $1 million National Science Foundation grant proposal and edited the business plan for this new organization, a consortium of public television organizations, universities, and other non-profit educational institutions. OnCourse seeks to do for the digital age what educational television did for the television age.

Thinking Sun
Alas, Thinking Sun is no more, but hey, not for the lack of a nice web site. The site is now password protected, but I've reproduced the home page and one internal page here. I designed the site, including a new look and feel based on pre-existing branding elements (i.e. colors and logo). I also had a large role in developing and refining the marketing message.
Home page. Note, the links on this page are deactivated.
