I worked on Descente’s site as a sub-contractor. I did the photoshop psd to template conversion, and kind of winged the interior pages based on that. Also, I set up the ecommerce (joomla – virtuemart).descente

Musculoskeletal Research Laboratories I first began working with the MRL in 2005 when I built a custom CMS from scratch so they could update their website more easily. Their needs expanded so I migrated that custom site to a Joomla 1.5 installation in 2009 in order to utilize the built in functionality and available add-ons. Lab members update the site as needed. I continue to manage joomla and component updates. Occasionally they need new functionality as well.

Dr. Gregory Shaker Dr Gregory Shaker’s site is done in WordPress using a customized Suffusion theme, Creative Clans slideshow and NextGen Gallery. Dr. Shaker wanted a basic site where new and existing patients could find him on the web, download registration forms and get general office information.

without-parisWithout Paris is a popular cover band in Southern NH, playing at clubs throughout the region. They had their domain name and a presskit that was used for the look and feel of the site. They wanted all the multimedia options – slideshow, video and photogallery – plus a mailing list, band member bios, playlist and most importantly, their gig schedule. So I set up their hosting account and was off and running. I still do the site maintenance, mail blasts, updates, etc.
