Living Earth
Living Earth is a nonprofit organization supporting projects addressing global problems in a local, personal and spiritual context. I created a website that provides a soothing environment for visitors to stay abreast of upcoming events and to provide a platform for the director to blog about topics both of interest to her and relevant to the Living Earth community. The site required easy updating by non-technical volunteers and inexpensive expansion as the need arose.

Syntonic Microwave
Syntonic Microwave designs, customizes and markets microwave components and subsystems. I designed and developed their original website in xhtml and css roughly five years ago and was called in to port the site to WordPress. The primary goal of the site is to bring product information to current and potential customers. The site was ported to WP 3.0 and a company blog was added to the original site structure. A slide presentation was added to each product category and Latest News in each product category was linked to that product line.

Socheata Poeuv
Socheata Poeuv, an award winning filmmaker and activist, is founder and CEO of Khmer Legacies, an organization whose goal is to create a video archive of the Cambodian genocide. Socheata had a Blogger site but needed more control over the design and features. Her new website helps publicize her work, promotes her speaking engagements and aids communication with friends and supporters. An additional requirement was the need for easy re-design or expansion as needed and updating by Socheata or her assistant.

Mindfulness Living
Mindfulness Living is the website for Sri Lankan meditation teacher Deva Ratnakara. Deva is the head of one of the most well known mindfulness meditation institutions in Sri Lanka, Sadaham Mituru Samuluwa. Originally a static site, I ported it to WordPress to enable Deva to communicate more effectively with his visitors through a blog. It was also important that it be easy to update content and disseminate information about his retreats and teachings.

Hats and Scarves Winter Warming Project
Hats and Scarves is a seasonal program of Living Earth. The program requests volunteers to knit hats and scarves and drop the finished items off at city-wide drop sites. The items are then distributed to various social service organizations in the county. I developed a website that allows project volunteers to post ‘progress reports’ and news about the project on its blog, acknowledge participating groups, and solicit donations and volunteer support.
