Cox Marketing
Laura hired me to help her with the revamp of the Lead I.T. Consulting site. When that was finished, she just about immediately wanted to have me replace her old Squarespace site with a mobile-friendly
Four Year Anniversary
This post marks the four year anniversary of working for myself, and as a contractor, doing freelance web design full time. I’m thankful every day that I went back to school at PCC – it literally
Irvington Home Tour
“Since 1967, the Irvington Home Tour has been opening doors to our past, present, and future, giving participants an inside look of homes in the Irvington National Historic District, the largest such district in Oregon and one of largest in the country. Now, after a two-year COVID-related hiatus, the tour is providing that behind-the-scenes look virtually.” – Historic Irvington
Lead IT Consulting
This was a revamp of a decades old WordPress site with an outdated theme and plugins which had long been abandoned. We gave it a top-to-bottom once-over. Now it’s SEO-focused, user friendly, clean and lean.
The Southeast Examiner
Recently, most of my projects have been replicating a concept: take an existing WordPress site (along with all of its content) and update the theme with a modern, mobile friendly one. Essentially, a facelift.

Yukon Tavern
The historic Yukon Tavern changed hands in the beginning of 2021 – a couple of good friends took it over. We put together a quick WordPress site in an afternoon. There’s more to come…
Mobile Friendly Design
I focus on mobile friendly design because nearly 80% of users surfing the web are using a mobile device. And because first impressions matter, it’s incredibly important to look as sharp as possible right out of the box!

Thomas Rude
This was a quick refresh to an older, custom WordPress blog. Updating the site, adding a new theme, and cleaning up the user-side for Thomas made it easy for him to edit galleries. This is now a mobile friendly, clean, and straightforward portfolio site.
Saucy Beast
This was a managed hosting site with an external shop on PayPal – not a great user experience and hard to manage. We consolidated the ordering into one site and upgraded the WP theme all at once. B00M!
Mississippi Records
We made this online shop to help support the store when they went into lockdown along with the rest of Oregon in early 2020. The online shop isn’t selling records, but there’s still a ton of branded T-shirts, limited edition posters, postcards, beer coozies, tote bags, and more. Sun Ra snow globes, maybe? Local pickup for stereo equipment is now available again!
Saucy Jewelry
The styling on Elisa’s site allows the jewelry to shine – literally. The minimal color scheme comes from the natural backdrops she uses to photograph her work. The WooCommerce shop has 100s of handmade items: rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets.
The Goodfoot
Serving Portland since 2001, The Goodfoot showcases live music & DJs, great scratch bar food, a full bar with infused cocktails, pool & pinball, plus daily happy hour. The site displays months of music listings and the menu in a mobile friendly format that’s easy to read – not just a PDF stuffed into a page.

Wedgehead
Wedgehead is the premier pinball arcade in Portland, OR. It’s home to pinball machines from all eras and serves bad-ass bar food, stiff drinks, and cold beer. In the age of COVID, they’ve moved to an all-reservation system.
