The Bath Tub Diva is, perhaps, the most incredible site on the internet! Uh-huh.

Pam, Karen & I decided to work together to create this site. I’ve been an avid bath-tubber for ages and wanted to spread the word on how great – and transformative – taking a bath can be, so, WA-LA! The Bath Tub Diva was launched.

I created the design, Pam did the programming (in WordPress – what else?) and Karen provides SEO support.

Visit the site to learn how you can  “Transform your life one bath at a time”. There are articles on fabulous bath recipes, info on Epsom salts, funny (and true!) stories about bathing, splendid bath-related products that we like & recommend, mindful meditations & affirmations, and stunning “Spa Day” ideas for you and your friends.

For sure you’ll find something that you like on the site and will come back again and again for more stunning info on the joys of tubbin’ it!

Jess Van Dusen, N.D., recently set up her practice in Bellingham and wanted a web site that reflected her lifestyle and the kind of Naturopathic Doctor she is. I used a lot of photographs that she had taken on her hikes around the area for the individual page headers. Sepia tones were used as full color images were distracting and we wanted viewers to feel soothed and engaged when they came to the site. Dandelion graphics line the bottom of the pages ’cause they are cool AND are a reminder of the herbal source of much of natural medicine.

Pam set up the site in WordPress and Jess can easily update it herself.

It’s a lovey, clean and easy to navigate site that will serve Dr. Dusen well!

I had a run – a short run, but a run nonetheless – on Naturopathic Physicians web sites. Which was great as they both had amazing LINKS sections so now I know where to go to get gluten-free everything!

Right after I completed Jess’ site (scroll down 2 posts to read about Jess’ site) I started one for Dr. Brigid Crowe, also a Naturopath. Amazingly, they both knew each other! ha ha – ok they went to “Be-A-Doctor” school together and both liked my portfolio.

The interesting part was how to create two sites for two doctors in the same profession without having them look similar. And one right after the other. Well, that’s the reason why I am famous for my design work. Bwah!

I strive to make to each site reflect it’s individual owner. Brigid and I went through a few designs and finally were both happy with the result above as it really reflects her style and aesthetic.

I’ts a WordPress site too, of course!

I’ve been trying out a new backup system and I LOVE IT! Best $5 a month I ever spent!

Totally recommend this company  – BackBlaze  http://www.backblaze.com/

Read my previous post on WHY backing up is important:

And then get backed up, OK?

We upgraded Ann Vetter-Hansen’s simple one page site into a marvelous WordPress site that Ann can now upgrade and blog on herself.

I love the colors and simplicity of this site design and it really suits Ann’s sensibilities, giving her prospective clients a feeling about the type of lawyer that she is.

About 4 years ago I did a simple one page site for Buckland & Schumm and it served them well for a few years. Two months ago they decided they wanted the whole enchilada for their site. I was more than happy to redo it! We used the same cool building graphic (’cause it looks like their building – clever ‘eh?) but this time we put the whole site in WordPress, so the graphics reflect a more “modern” layout and there is a groovy sidebar for Recent Posts and their Contact Info. Pam did all the programming and got the videos on the front page.

Buckland & Schumm also hired an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert to get their rankings showing up higher in the searches. While my company provides basic SEO for our clients, we recommend hiring a professional SEO company if your business is in a competitive field and you want to increase your chances of coming up on the first page of Google.

Call me if you’d like a recommendation for professional SEO help!

Ciro’s Books is the site of author Willie Wilkerson. Willie wanted a site that looked contemporary but with hints of the past showing through. I created a site that felt more “ancient” with compasses and books, but also had up to date features like a shopping cart!

The site was created in WordPress and put together by Pam, the best programmer on …….earth.
