Wellness Coach Lori Boothroyd had a beautiful site, but there were some drawbacks. It was frustrating to make changes to individual web pages and next to impossible to make changes to the design itself.
She had outgrown the old site’s tag line, but wasn’t able to change it easily. She felt the “Subscribe NOW!!!” language on her banner was too pushy for her audience. It was also important to her to be able to add new features like audio (using Audio Acrobat). All of this was impossible with her old site.
So, we came in, made the changes she wanted, and coded the site for WordPress. This gave her an easy-to-use admin system and updates are now much easier to make. What’s more, the site is search-engine friendly, the navigation is streamlined, and she’s saving herself both time *and* money (the old admin system was a monthly expense; WordPress …

Karen Field was in the market for a professional website design so she could launch a serious business site. She planned to use this website to provide her clients with new content, promote her products, and grow her newsletter list. She needed the site to be easy-to-update so that she could make updates regularly on her own, and she also wanted the site to help her rank in the search engines.
As a coach, Karen specializes in working with individuals who grapple with anxiety, and so it was important that the site not be cluttered or overwhelming. She wanted it to be made clear from the website design itself that she was easy to work with and took a gentle approach with her clients. She also had a photo that her husband (a professional artist) had taken of a butterfly that she wanted incorporated into the design.
It was important …

Brand Dame Lyn Chamberlin needed a new identity. She was ready for a professional website, blog, and email newsletter design–and that’s exactly what we gave her.
The new skyePR.com site makes use of her brown and orange color scheme and provides a fresh, clean showcase for her branding work. Using an event calendar plugin, Lyn’s able to easily deliver an up-to-date speaking event calendar to her website visitors. The site also generates an updated, random list of posts from her blog to ensure there’s up-to-the-minute content for her website visitors.
The site also reinforces the design we developed for both her email newsletter and blog–creating an integrated online identity for Lyn Chamberlin and skyePR.

C.J. Hayden wanted to create a hub site for all of her projects. She planned to use WordPress as her CMS as she had for other sites in the past.
She had an illustration for her front page and asked us to complete the WordPress coding and design a layout for the internal pages. She wanted something that made use of layers and had a textured appeal.
The biggest challenge, programming-wise, was that she wanted some internal pages to make use of an additional scroll sidebar. We created a special page template for those pages that would have a scroll, and layered the scroll image over the page template. By attaching the scroll to a widget, C.J. can easily update each scroll’s content.

A local Realtor needed a website for properties she had listed in a specific community in North Topsail Beach (on Topsail Island, NC). We created an easily-updated website that she was able to add and subtract listings from as she gained and sold listings.
The Realtor was able to use the site to build a community among homeowners in the neighborhood and soon had six listings (out of 43 homes). The site was very popular with buyers, sellers, and other real estate agents and continued to be useful for owners seeking to rent their new homes as vacation properties.
This site was built in HTML and CSS and updated using the client’s choice of website editing software.
