 Sites I've Worked on
  (that I'll admit to publicly)

Site prices range from a $200 splash page to $50,000 high functionality e-commerce sites, it's all about what you want and what your business needs.

My partner has spent over three years developing the most flexible and efficient data admin tool money can buy, if you want to be able to edit a high-content site quickly and fairly often, Admin Concentrate will more than pay for itself in the time its going to save you in keeping the site current.

“We found that our ecommerce site to be a great “silent salesperson”!  It allows us to find new customer categories for us to market to as well.  It is like getting two employees for next to nothing.”

Steven Ilg
VP Marketing

Ammex Corporation

No Lock-Ins. I value freedom, and that of my clients. All my clients are provided with the information needed to modify, move, and change their site. The domain is in the client's name, and the client has complete access to the host provider. I recommend host providers for comparability reasons, but we do NOT get kickbacks. Should you want to change host providers, sell the domain, or go with another designer, you are free to switch services at any time.

Heatworks Body Warmers Heatworks Body Warmers Heatworks' site design was taken diectly fron their gorgeous packaging and made to fit in with the AMMEX family of products and web sites, and was one of the easiest I've done. Heatworks is a site promoting AMMEX's instant body, hand and toe warmers. Heatworks warmers contain only iron powder, water, salt, activated charcoal, and vermiculite. A great, soothing product for anyone wanting a break from the cold.
Real Estate Pullman RE/MAX PullmanWe do real estate sites! I've very proud of this custom-designed site: It contains a blog, custom MLS search, an admin tool making any text easy to edit, automated featured properties and a consistent look throughout. While the design is simple, I was more than happy to put together a real estate site that looked better than the rest. Hometeamthree.com is Pullman's RE/MAX team of realtors.
Mandinkatours.com

Mandinka Ethnocultural Expeditions Mandinka Ethnocultural Expeditions is for an amazing tour operator out of Bamako, the site was commissioned by two of his happy customers. This site was a lot of work, but a joy to do. I was fascinated by the content and coaxed many amazing travel photos out of my clients -not necessarily to put on the site. Check out mandinkatours.com for itineraries, travel advice, hotels, and all things West Africa.

Pearadise Catering Pearadise Catering SeattlePearadise catering was a lifelong dream realized for its owner. A fantastic chef, farm girl, and world traveller, while an expert on all things business, it can be hard to write about oneself. My marketing guru and I helped with copy for the site, and while I have very happy customers with this job, I can only hope it does her fabulous food the justice it deserves.
Pacific Northwest Amateur Boxing Association Pacific Northwest Amateur Boxing AssociationPacific Northwest Amateur Boxing Association, the best resource for local boxers and those looking to compete or participate in boxing. Updating this site is as easy as sending an e-mail. The initial cost was more than a static site, but pays for itself when the client doesn't have to pay a web developer to update it every month.

Ammex Corporation recently launched a new product: Black nitrile gloves. "I want drama" said the Marketing Manager about the new sub-site/black nitrile promo. This was a fantastic opportunity for flashy marketing material that wouldn't alienate their customers. The whole company is thrilled with how it turned out. I don't use Flash very often, but this site really screamed for it.

Harris Landscaping Olympia LandscapingThe owners of Harris Landscaping loved the Greystone site and wanted one just like it. Not wanting to duplicate work, I said no. They got a great site and an admin tool allowing them to update it themselves, and I got my portfolio piece. We also learned that the landscaping business has a lot in common with web design.

Advice for the sexually inquisitiveAdvice for the sexually inquisitiveValerie Strangiato: Advice for the sexually inquisitive. This is an informational site, providing straightforward, honest advice in an anonymous environment. The aim with the design was to give the reader a feeling of comfort and familiarity while reflectiong the style of the author. "So Sarah, if this is on your portfolio, which sites won't you admit to publicly?" I was asked. Answer: "The ugly ones."

Stonegate Condominiums PullmanStonegate condominiums' site went up in under a week. Stonegate is a new development in Pullman, catering to students, parents, professors, and those who want to live close to Washington State University and downtown Pullman. The client wanted a basic, yet elegant site and is very happy with the results.
Women Astronomers was put up as a promotional tool for the first of the Women in Science series of books by Mabel Armstrong. It's also a great resource for budding astronomers, including News, Rising Stars, tips and tricks, and a BBS for posting upcoming star parties and discussing the latest celestial events and technology. The design of the site reflects that within the book.
Cappy's Boxing Gym Seattle Cappy's Boxing GymCappy's Boxing Gym in Seattle was a remodel for their old site. The text area is almost identical to the old site, but I improved the navigation and graphics, highlighting the holistic advantages of boxing and fitness and increasing Search engine visibility. My partner built an automated schedule and pricing Cappy could update at any time.
Greystone Concrete Design Greystone Concrete Design
Greystone Concrete creates high-end, concrete hardscapes, its truly more art than construction. My partner and I were asked to build a portfolio site the owner could update himself via an admin tool. He says the site is very useful as a 'swatch library' to communicate with customers about what he can offer.
Portable Ramps Scorpion Ramp offers the best portable loading ramp money can buy. My goal was to produce a high end site (as it's a high end ramp) that would appeal to a diverse group of people: wheelchair users and bikers alike while emphasizing the Ramp's features and benefits, the inventor and I agreed the bottom line was "You get what you pay for."
Ammex.com Finishing this project was a huge relief, we got the go ahead two years after my initial proposal. The instructions were "Make it look like the mother of AMMEX sites, and 'we're sick of green'. AMMEX carries hundreds of products. Our focus was making the site fast and easy to maintain, making maintenance and product updates extremely cost-efficient for the company.
Border 104 (KHTR) is a Radio Station Covering the Pullman-Moscow area. We built them a custom version of Admin Concentrate on, enabling even the least computer literate to update the site easily. The design was a spin-off from their previous site. We wanted it unique and modern, but easy to navigate, so I stayed with a standard radio station layout to keep it intuitive.

Rose Creek Graphics is owned by artist and graphic designer Rebecca Thorgaard.
Working with an artist is different than with most clients. The site has to reflect Rebecca's style while being easy to navigate, RCG was great to engineer, and required very close communication and a lot of drafts before deciding on a look and feel.

Auto Body Repair Olympia Auto Body repairing, Olympia
If you're looking for Auto Body Repairing in Olympia, these are the best guys in town. For the time being they wanted a simple, one-page site where customers can easily get information about the business.
The look and feel of this site had already been laid out in their treeware marketing materials, I had to make it web-friendly. This site focuses specifically on first aid cabinets and metal boxes to be ordered in bulk and imported. I learned more about the industry than I imagined. One of the nice things about being a web designer: Free education via content.
