Current Web sites

GitaGiald.com – Gita is a fantastic photographer, and she has a large catalogue she'd like to sell online. I set up a way for her to do that, and while I like the way the site looks, I'm most proud of the organization, since it's a very large project.

ShearXtreme.com – This site was created for a salon in Northampton, Massachusetts. In addition to the site, I suggested they get set up on MySpace and Flickr, which has helped give them more exposure and put them in a better place to interact with their clientele.

Bubbie's Kitchen – So many of my family's memories of my bubbie (grandmother) revolve around food. Though we're stretched across the country, even though we're missing her and each other, I thought it was important we all be able to share that food with others.

CatherineOrland.com – This site was developed for a San Francisco-based singer-songwriter as she was releasing her first CD. The goal was simplicity, and I think we achieved it, thanks in large part to the elegant photography.

AndreaColler.com – This site was created for a singer-songwriter based in Northampton, Massachusetts. We are currently considering a site overhaul, as it has been several years since it was initially developed.

Seneca Falls, NY, August 2007 – Seneca Falls was the site of the first Women's Rights Convention, and is the current home of Women's Rights National Historic Park and the National Women's Hall of Fame.

Sackets Harbor, NY, August 2007 – Sackets Harbor is the site of a War of 1812-era fort. With its location on Lake Ontario, it served as a primary front during the war. Several of its downtown restaurants have decks that extend into the harbor, offering a great view.
