Client Sites

On a Friday my wife Julie and older son attended a rally to save a favorite church threatened with closure and by Sunday we launched Savestmarys.net. It was a weekend where I was already swamped with deadlines, so it's standard Movable Type but with all the tricks of mashed-up Web 2.0 sites to let Julie pour content in: Flickr, Slidoo, Slideshow Generator -- and soon Youtube. Visit site.

This is a fairly standard Movable Type blog except that the client wanted two separate blogs: one meant for daily posts and the other for more weekly posts (it's all set up in MT via categories). This also shows the use of Slidoo for a photo banner head. The pictures are all pulled from a particular set of her Flickr account. Visit site.

A multimedia website displaying the very colorful aquarium out near Norristown Pennsylvania. The Flickr photos are cached and display with a Slimbox clone when clicked. Movies are included both as optimized-for-download WMV files and on a independent Youtube account. View Site.

South Jersey piano instructor Nick Watts advertises his services online. Be sure to check out the Entertainment page for music samples. I used Box.net to allow Nick to upload his own songs any times he wants! Visit Site.

Blog by an American couple living in Vietnam and advocating for greater motorbike safety. The technical aspects are pretty straight-forward but the neat part about it was watching the client learn about blogging and online photo sharing as we worked on the site: I introduced her to Flicrk, Picasa and Gmail! She took to it like a fish and the site is full of great photos taken by her husband David. Read more about their work doing physical therapy in Vietnam and their posts about life in Da Nang.

Vietnamese restaurateur and surf guru Tam shares photos and stories from one of Southeast Asia's best surfing towns. Hands down this is the most handsome photo site in my portfolio! Visit Site.

Website for Peter Blood & Annie Patterson, musicians most well known for their insanely-popular songbook Rise Up Singing. They sell books and tapes on the site (e-commerce handled ably and simply by Paypal) and they also have lots of high-quality content including a lot of hard-to-find Pete Seeger CDs. Movable Type is used as a content management system (CMS).
