Dynamic Law Firm Website

Optim Legal had an all Flash website that was not very search engine friendly. Working with Online Media Rooms, I converted the look and feel of the Flash site to WordPress and built in categories and posts that would allow them to keep their content fresh.

BaoBao Festival Website

I’ve been volunteering with the BaoBao Festival, a West African dance and drumming festival that takes place in Boulder each March, for the past 7 years. I created a flat html website for the festival in 2005 and finally converted it to WordPress last week. Working with the festival earned me an invite for a three-week trip to Ghana last Christmas, where I learned to play four variations of the abstract strategy game, Oware.

Rabbi's Podcast Site

This was a very fun site to work on. The Rabbi who lives next door to me wanted a cool site from which to post his Podcast and have it automatically feed to iTunes. Using Blubrry Power Press made the whole process easy and effective. Rabbi Goldfeder liked the album cover of Innervisions, so we used that as our design inspiration.

Workshops Website

Amy Brenna of Brenna Workshops needed a quick and easy way to publicize her workshops, allow students to register for a workshop as well as blog about her workshop topics. We used a WordPress Theme from Elegant Themes and modified the header, sidebar and headings.

Peru Travel Website

I created this website for the former director of the Women’s Wilderness Institute who is now coordinating outdoor travel for women abroad. I used to volunteer with the Women’s Wilderness Institute developing their membership database. When Laura Tyson emailed me about this trip, I was excited to help with the website.

Gold Hill Town Website

The folks of Gold Hill wanted a website they could maintain themselves. This was easily accomplished with WordPress and a the Role Scoper plugin to allow each person to have access to just the pages, posts or categories that they needed control of. I found three different themes that had graphic elements that had a western, old wood look and was able to Frankenstein together an unique theme for the site.

Poet Site

I just finished this site RandyRoark.com for my Sounds True colleague Randy Roark, local poet, author, and producer. We are still in the process of migrating his old site content to this new site. With WordPress, he’ll be able to maintain all the content himself and have a blog for his poetry, prose and musings, and a shopping cart for his current books.

Artist Gallery Websites

Most of these sites were created in flat-file HTML. I would love to convert them to WordPress at some point. They work well for portfolio sites but they are not all search engine optimized, and I could do so much more with them now than I could several years ago.

Local Boulder Websites

These are just a few recent websites I created. Most of these are completely customized WordPress templates, while others take advantage of Elegant Themes to create a quick, easy, and inexpensive solution for small business clients.

WordPress Websites Using NextGen Gallery

I don’t think I could survive without Alex Rabe’s robust NextGen Gallery plugin for WordPress. This plugin allows for sophisticated management of photos and many options for displaying them on your WordPress blog or website.

Following are some sites on which I’ve used the plugin and taken advantage of the many display options, including:
