Thomas J. Murphy Campaign
www.tommurphy4judge.com
6th site for yet another judicial campaign due to a referral, this time from his brother Jack. Tom wanted a web site but wanted to keep it simple and keep the costs low. He liked his brother's site so they both agreed we could make Tom's site basically like his brother's, but with a slightly different look.

Fifth site for yet another judicial campaign due to a referral from the first one (see Eileen Burke below). This candidate is running for a country-wide position and wanted his high-profile election committee visible, a slide-show of photos on the home page, and also a scrolling header with various 'headlines.

Sunshine Siding and Window Company
www.sunshinesidingandwindow.com
Originally, I helped the owners save a ton of money on their web bills by moving their site to a better, much cheaper hosting service. But it wouldn't be for another two years that the owners finally committed to a redesign. They were less concerned about the design itself and more keen to get the content updated quickly and getting 'before and after' photos up. That section involves some brand new CSS programming to provide a neat, efficient photo gallery without JavaScript or Flash.

Judge Michael Ian Bender Campaign
www.electjudgebender.com
Fourth site for yet another judicial campaign due to a referral from the first one (see Eileen Burke below). This candidate was very concerned about getting a custom map of the 9th Subscircuit, which we made using Google maps. Also featured is an interactive version of the Tell-A-Friend feature originally designed as as email-only.

Move and redesign rudimentary product site to a customized commercial site for ornament reseller using 3dCart hosting, highly customized templates, and payment processing.

Foxhound Publishing Company
www.foxhoundpublishing.com
Second, much smaller site for an existing client (see O'Brien below). Their much smaller budget and product line required more of a site "tweaking" rather than a full redesign. Used similar elements from the original site to create a leaner, faster, much simpler web site with minimal time and money spent on it.
