Here’s a sample of her handiwork:
londabead.com
Londa Bead wanted to expand her offering from her original foodiebracelets.com line of jewelry. Featured at Miami's Art Basel, she wanted a website that spoke to the artistic nature of her work and allowed for future growth as her brand changes. A mix of elegant and fun, this Wordpress site needed to be very visual and function as an easy-to-manage online shop. Each collection is accessible from the home page and there's plenty of room to grow. The eCommerce solution has lots of features. We can't wait to see what Londa Bead will create next!
mrfairfax.com
Wordpress website to replace a traditional HTML site and to bring in an existing blog which was residing on Blogger. Bringing the blog onto the same domain was important for SEO but more importantly for community building. This popular insurance blog was driving traffic to a website that Management Recruiters of Fairfax doesn't own. The job listings on this site are fed through an outside database and we built an HTML wrapper to skin that page to match the rest of the site. It was a great project and stretched our programming skills. We ended up with a modern site that communicates a strong brand.
ccintercomputers.com
Wordpress website built from the ground up for a computer consulting/recruitment company that mostly works with Federal contracts. The focus was to move from a full HTML website that was built on tables and images. A chore to edit and maintain without having a dedicated webmaster who knows how to code. With Wordpress, the office staff can update the site. Another requirement was to have an onboard job board to display open job listings. Of course, we used the Genesis framework for SEO and security.

HTML Website built for the City of Aventura’s theatre. Originally designed in Photoshop and then brought into Dreamweaver. The site has since been ported to a propietary Content Management System that is part of their online ticketing system. However, the header images and navigation and basic design remain the same as the site I originally built in 2010.
City of Aventura local government website redesign in HTML. This website has since been ported over to a municipal Content Management System in 2012 so that staff can update their own pages. This is a screenshot of the site from 2011.
My job in 2003 was to take the original static website and add more interactive features for communicating with the citizens. We added a search feature, rss for social media, calendars and integrated customer service features, such as document research, MyAventura (work requests) and ePermits (online building permits) which are still in use today.
As we entered into social media, mostly on Twitter we received recognition from juggle.com as a Top Government Website for our efforts to bring more transparency to online government.
