Bear Creek Guitars

Bear Creek Guitars – bearcreekguitars.com

Designed and coded a website for the California-based guitar luthier from the ground up, using PHP/XHTML/CSS and good SEO practices. As soon as the website relaunched, orders started pouring in like never before. When the client later asked to be able to edit the site on his own, it was converted into a custom WordPress template.

John Hackmann for City Council

(no longer live on the web)

Designed and coded website for Palo Alto city council hopeful John Hackmann using PHP/XHTML/CSS/JavaScript, and Perl to scrape data from an external blog. Extensive use of Photoshop — John was on a tight schedule and only had old, scanned photos for me to work with. I cleaned up his hair, tucked in his collar, and put a smile on his face. Politics is mostly about appearances, right?
