This website was a consulting job for a rental company in Lancaster, OH. I had to code specialized forms and organize their info and sliders (galleries).
This website was for a contracting company in Boston specializing in placing people for Medical Device and Software and Hardware Engineering positions. I had to recreate the logo because the version they had was low-res and very poor quality. Then I redesigned the site for them with a responsive design. I also edited and wrote some of the content.
I taught a WordPress class Spring Semester 2017 for the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH. The class basically took all the skills they had learned previously and merged them into a class using WordPress. Most had never used WordPress or Hosting Accounts and domains before, so it was a little bit of everything.
I did this ’10 WordPress Design Hacks for Graphic Designers’ presentation for WordCamp Cincinnati 2016. I always try to do something less techie and more design related at these sessions because most of the other sessions are so technical.
I did a presentation on Widgets for WordCamp Columbus 2016. What is a Widget, how do they work, how to use them and then I offered some good examples of widgets.
I designed this food blog site for a friend of mine who wanted to switch her blog from a Blogger site to WordPress. She wanted to have a site that was more professional and had more social media and sharing features built in. I designed her logo, bought her domain and set up her hosting account.
This is the second time I have been a volunteer for the local WordCamp. I was also a speaker for the second time.
I did a presentation on how to edit photos for WordPress at the 2015 WordCamp Columbus session. I always try to do something less techie and more design related at these sessions because most of the other sessions are so technical.
I designed this site in WordPress for a client. She designed everything herself, but I had to code it up and set up the domain and hosting account. She has since let it lapse and it is not live anymore. But we are now working to bring it back,
I won a bid to build a website for the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I helped organize the stories and reporters hired to do stories on Social Work for the site. The project was part of a special grant. I used JavaScript and PHP to setup the interactivity. As with most of my sites, I design it and set it up and then I release it to the client and no longer have anything to do with the site. I did purchase the domains for them and set up their hosting account. I organized the content with the help of the client.
So what is WordCamp? WordCamp is kind of like a local mini convention. But it’s put on by local WordPress users to help other users. Since I have come so far in one year with WordPress, I decided to volunteer to present. I have been a newspaper designer for more than 16 years, so I thought I would take a designer topic and discuss that. So my session is about fonts.
I designed this site while working for SiteInsight. It was a WordPress site, so I customized the theme that the client choose and designed the logo, avatar and favicon for them. I used JavaScript and PHP to setup the interactivity. As with most of my sites, I design it and set it up and then I release it to the client and no longer have anything to do with the site. After I did a majority of the setup and organization, I handed off the site to SiteInsight to finish up.
