    I was the baker’s client before she became mine. I bought packages of cookies then had the idea to serve them at a sculpture opening. We talked occasionally and after she experienced one failed attempt at a web project, Sandy Hunter hired debwork.com to create her web presence.

    This is a WordPress site. Instead of blogging articles, Sandy keeps current a gallery of custom bakery items that are totally fun to look through. I also administer the associated Facebook page and Twitter stream.

    Responsive? Yes. Striking Multiflex Theme
    Client since: September 2011
    Redesigned: 2014
    Chow theme was pretty but not responsive to devices sizes. The theme authors abandoned maintenance and it fell behind with WordPress. This site was moved to a new responsive theme in 2014 – but we decided kept most of the great look we developed.

    Jules Wolf Stenzel opened her own studio for Pilates, yoga, meditation, events and all around wellness. In 2017 she opened a second studio on Atwood Avenue and now had a Westside/Eastside presence.

    Adding a second studio presents website design organization challenges. Both locations need to have their own landing pages but yet much content is shared. In this case each studio has its own class schedule and shopping cart the integration is via the API’s provided by the software packages which require a paid subscription.

    The new website is built in WordPress and is quite pretty (if I do say so myself!). At first we were using the DejaVu theme but it was abandoned by the author so basically packed up the stylesheet and moved to Striking. (It ends up in 2017 DejaVu theme is on the top 25 most attacked themes per WordFence statistics so it was a good thing we moved on.

    Responsive? Yes (Striking theme)
    Client since: 2005, redesigned in 2013 and again in 2016
    Referred by: self referral, this is repeat business (original site)

    Area Glass worked hard to change the business from “auto glass” to “full service glass”. Yes, the logo was changed but they wanted a their site to reflect the transition in a big way. And they wanted to post lots of photos of their installation jobs.

    Mike Behr confessed that he never took to the purple in the original html design so we went with the great black skin offered by Striking WordPress themes and a slider that demonstrates the range of their work. The site uses Gravity forms and has rotating testimonials.

    Responsive?  Yes
    SSL? Yes
    Client Since: 2008, redesigned in 2012
    Referral: The client himself – this is repeat business! (old site)
