Dancing Cranes Healing Center

With the Dancing Cranes Healing Center website, my goal was to create a space that truly reflects Liz’s commitment to her clients.
Knowing that many visitors are here to schedule their next appointment, I made sure the home page is intuitive and straightforward, allowing new and returning clients to easily find what they need.
The site’s additional pages provide a warm introduction to Liz’s services, background, and healing philosophy, guiding visitors to understand the full breadth of what she offers. I took special care to design unique header images for each page, giving the site a dynamic feel that mirrors the vibrancy of Liz’s work.

My Visionary Projects

Tom Ewell Connections

"...reflections on current affairs through the lens of my Quaker faith"

Tom Ewell Connections is a testament to the reliability and simplicity of the Weebly platform, which I used to build this site before transitioning to WordPress for more advanced projects. Despite Weebly’s limitations in design and functionality, it has proven to be a dependable and user-friendly option for clients with simple needs.

Shifty Sailors

Bringing Sea Shanties to Life

The Shifty Sailors website is designed to capture the spirit and energy of a group dedicated to preserving and performing sea shanties. With over a dozen members, the Shifty Sailors perform throughout the Puget Sound area and have even taken their music abroad. Their six CDs offer a rich collection of traditional and contemporary shanties, and the site provides a platform for fans and newcomers alike to explore and enjoy this unique genre.

I crafted the site with a nautical theme, using blue hues and maritime patterns to immerse visitors in the world of sea shanties. The home page gives a brief introduction to the group and features a dynamic slider showcasing upcoming events. To engage visitors further, the site includes a gallery of past performances, a photo gallery, and a dedicated page for the group’s CDs. On this page, visitors can sample tracks from each album and easily purchase CDs through a contact form.

This site not only highlights the Shifty Sailors’ musical offerings but also fosters a strong connection with their audience, reflecting the group’s enthusiasm for sharing their love of sea shanties with the world.

Rock Harbor Consulting

Expertise & Experience on One Page

The Rock Harbor Consulting website was crafted to establish Mary Blake’s credibility in the Federal and DoD space, where she brings 26 years of experience in communications, change management, and organizational process improvement. Mary needed a site that would effectively communicate her expertise, services, and professional background—all on a single page.

To achieve this, I designed a streamlined layout that offers potential clients a clear and concise overview of Mary’s approach and services. The site highlights her certifications, professional affiliations, and an extensive list of recent projects. Given the length of the project list, I hand-coded a scrollable element in HTML, ensuring that all key information was accessible without overwhelming the page’s design.

This one-page site is a perfect example of how a focused, well-organized presentation can establish authority and trust, even within the constraints of a compact format.

Wade Made Blades

The Wade Made Blades website is designed to capture and showcase the unique artistry of my client, Wade. As a self-taught blacksmith with a passion for “sharp, shiny, stabby steel stuff,” Wade needed a site that not only displayed his intricate knives, axes, and swords but also reflected the raw, hands-on craftsmanship he brings to his work.

To achieve this, I designed the site with a background of Damascus steel patterns and a palette of metallic colors, mirroring the rugged beauty of Wade’s creations. The layout introduces visitors to Wade’s workshop, his methods, and the products he proudly crafts.

More than just a showcase, the site also serves Wade’s desire to teach others. To this end, the site features guides visitors through the process of selecting and designing their own tools, with the option to work alongside Wade in creating a personalized implement.

The result is a website that not only sells products but also invites engagement. participation and learning, perfectly tailored to Wade’s vision.
