Journalists

A number of my clients are individuals with something to say. Some are professional journalists looking for a promotional site where they can showcase new writing. Others are nascent bloggers who want to broadcast their message far and wide.

These "public conversations with today's boldest voices" are the brainchild of activist journalist Anne-christine d'Adesky. She's traveling the world interviewing policy makers and on-the-ground organizers on issues of global health and AIDS. The site uses Google Video and Movable Type to create an online video magazine. It was a bit of a rush but it looks great and I'm sure Issue #2 will look even better. The interviews are what make the site, of course! Visit the site and Anne-christine's complimentary personal blog.

AmyOutlaw.com

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.
Steadyfootsteps.org

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.

MaguireOnline.com

Professional journalist James Maguire came to me with an existing site built in Movable Type. I'll redesigned the navigation, creating customized sidebars that changed according to the category. He's done great stuff with his site and it's well worth looking through. Favorites of mine: his video appearances on talk shows and his 100 Books Worth Reading list. Visit site.

Quakersong.org

Quakersong.orgWebsite 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).
