Four artists wanted to set up a store called "Third Floor, Please!" on the internet to sell their creations. The website uses a package called Zen Cart which has been tailored to the look and feel of the website and to the store requirements. Currently, the store is not active and three of the artists have dropped out. The store may be activated in the future with the remaining artist.

This website is used to track and assist with New York's Fair Tax efforts led by Ollie Johnson. Much of the content originally came from the Ohio State website, but was edited for New York. The original design of the Ohio website has been modified and cleaned up.

Still a work in progress, this site is called Hudson Valley Focus and deals with subjects of interest to the Mid-Hudson Valley, especially as they relate to the economy of the region. In addition to a wealth of information, it has several blogs and an archive of the HVFocus radio shows.

Ken Sexton Interiors moved their business from Northern New Jersey to the Mid-Hudson Valley and needed a way to get the word out.

This is still a work in progress. It is a website dedicated to the artwork of my grandfather, Jan Couperus. There are hundreds of paintings and sketches that will be displayed.

Update: Almost 200 paintings have been added to the site.

The Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center is a non profit organization to meet the cultural needs of the community and it is where Scott Way's office is located. They asked if I would rededign their website and provide them with the capability to update the Calendar and Galleries information without knowing anything about web design. This was implemented behind a login screen using forms and PHP to interpret the form data and create the schedules. This capability is only visible to the administrators of the center.

The site has been redesigned again by someone else, but by clicking on the link you can still see my original home page design. Links to other pages for this design are no longer active.

A consulting firm, Enterprise Performance Startegies needed an update to a 10-year old and dated design. The "look and feel" was completely redesigned to make it look clean and fresh. This was also my first dynamic web site, allowing the contents to change based on the user's actions.

This was my first website built to support the Reiki and Reflexology practice of Scott Way. The goal was to design a website that was easy to navigate and to convey a very peaceful experience.
New: I've updated the site to include Scott's massage partner, Nancy Greenman.
