Rockin' Acoustic Circus 2.0 In 2008 I developed a Joomla content management site for Rockin' Acoustic Circus and in January of 2010, with a brand new album coming out and a great touring season lined up, they wanted me to give the site a make-over to reflect the new album art and the new promo photos that they had done in anticipation of its release. The professional set of location photos really help define the new look of the website. I also redesigned the music player to coordinate with the new album art.

Christian Community Church The 2010 redesign of the site I created for Christian Community Church back in 2002 welcomes and provides information to potential church visitors and allows members to listen again to the latest sermon. Many people visit a church website before visiting the actual church, so an up-to-date site is essential. The old site was a static site that required geeky know-how in order keep it up to date; the new site is powered by the latest Joomla content management system which allows volunteers to log in and add a new event or post an mp3 of the latest sermon. Features include an Upcoming Events module, a podcast publishing module, and integration with a Google calendar.

Farmsies

The photographer/artist wanted a one-page site to which she could steer wholesalers who might be interested in carrying her line of farm-themed baby bibs and onesies. A blend of stock photography and her own pictures came together for her site, and inspiration struck for her new logo as well! The site uses a customized pro template and is powered by the latest Joomla content management system, so it is ready to be expanded at any time.
