Stucco Italiano
This site went together very quickly, as child themes usually do. I like the background and coved corners on the content.…

Fashioncow
See it at fashioncow.com. This is a big multi-looped magazine theme. It is all custom WordPress, with a lot of plugins. The owner of the site, prolific fashion blogger Tanya Wilson, wanted a site that would compete with high end fashion sites like Fabsugar.com, and Elle.com.
The multiple loops were satisfying to code. No post appears twice on the page, and the blogger has a lot of control over what posts appear where. …
Systems For Life
This site was designed by Joanne Lauterjung Kelly, and coded by me. It is a child theme of Wordpress' Twentyten theme, which goes to show you just how flexible Twentyten really is.

I’d been thinking of a site based on a fixed background image that would stretch to fit the browser window. It is surprising how many images, which are quite abstract, look very good even when distorted out of shape for a background. When I finally got the code just right I was very happy with it. This site makes good use of a dedicated template for the front page.…
Temple Parlor
I was pleased with this design when I first coded it. The background changes when you re-load the page, and I like the temple archway. Some day I want to build a site like this with foliage in the place of the archway. This version is a re-code in WordPress. Originally I wanted the archway to overlap the text and image boxes. To my eye, the web is just a vast sea of small boxes, all in their place. …
Friday harbor holistic health
I originally built this site for acupuncturist Nicholas Corrin in 2008 using standard XHTML and CSS code. In 2010 I re-coded it in WordPress. Because the design had been done,and because he was still happy with the design, it was quite simple to create a WordPress theme to mimic his old site.
Corrin is a prolific writer on natural medicine. You can read some very thoughtful essays on his site.…

This site is the second one I built on this particular theme, with a fixed background image. I designed this for images to stretch to fill the browser window. This is nice because it scales well–no matter how big or small your screen it, the background image will scale to 100%. A rather small image is used for a background (I think 640 pixels wide), so it is not a burden on bandwidth.…
123West.com
A client came to me with a flash site that was long out of date. I re-coded it in XHTML, CSS, and WordPress. I was very pleased that it retains much of the look and feel of the original site, on a far more usable, searchable, and flexible platform.
This site also features an embedded font for the headings. The headings are Roadgeek, a font licensed for use on websites.…
Daynahanson.com
This site was not a re-design, but rather a re-coding of a vintage tables based site. I built a WordPress theme that perfectly displayed the old site, but with far less code, better SEO, and most importantly, owner managable and editable content. The rounded corners are now rendered by CSS. Some browsers, notably Safari, also give the images rounded corners. …
