Back in 1999, I helped Dr. Thomas Naughton launch his first website to accompany his new Medicoloegal Consulting business, Abbygrey West Consulting. A busy Family Practice physician for over 15 years, Dr. Naughton thought he would take a leap and try his hand at self-employment and put some of his knowledge and expertise into some legal consulting to see how it would fly. It flew… indeed. 8 years later, I’ve re-launched his new look and format and brought him up to date by using WordPress to power his website. . . Keep reading

This design was all about the dots! Judy from Golden Swamp had some very specific ideas and concepts about the dots I created and used in her new blog design.

So, I cranked up the holiday tunes on my iTunes and got to work. . . Keep reading

Jon from AZFans.com contacted me to design and develop a new theme for his brand new WordPress MU blog community.

Jon started up AZfans.com to provide free blogs to Arizona sports fans… Keep reading

I was very happy, for the second time, to finish up a design for Amy at Kvetch Blog.

The folks at De Kookerij wanted a very simple, clean and professional look for their Typepad powered site. They are using Typepad in an interesting way… by not using it as a blog, really - but more, as a website with several static pages. Although the blog portion is being used, it’s more of an accent to the site, rather than the focus… Keep reading
