Professional web design by Marten J. Halma
My experience with web design started as a hobby when I created a website for my partner's
Reiki and Reflexology practice. I found it to be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Encouraged by the positive feedback I received, I looked for other opportunities to expand
my knowledge and skill in the art and discipline of web design and discovered that there is
a huge demand for this service. I now have several completed websites with very satisfied clients.
But don't take my word for it. Please check out the completed designs below by clicking on the
home-page thumbnails to the right of the site descriptions. I have reversed the order so that
with the exception of the Photo Albums site, the most recent websites are listed first.
Marty & Scott: Photo Albums
This website is a personal one and consists of a number of photo albums that will be
expanded as time permits. More albums from Southeast Asia and Cape Cod will be added soon.

Third-Floor-Please.com
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.

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.

displayed. In addition, I intend to add the extensive information I have about the
Couperus family tree dating back to the late 16th century.

KarinWexlerArt.com

so that her artwork stands out and is not competing with the design of the site.

scheduled for April, 2009. The design for the website was done by the client and then I did the

information in a database.

Cunneen-Hackett.org
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.

A consulting firm, Enterprise Performance Startegies needed an update to a 10-year old and dated
