Main St Farmers Market website

This is a major redesign of the website for Chattanooga’s Main St Farmers Market. Local designers Widgets & Stone came up with the logos and suggested the look and feel, and I worked with Padgett Arnold to get the visuals and content just right.

• Interactive home page presents tons of information in a compact javascript slider
• Fresh content includes recipes and a list of what’s available each week
• Facebook fan page gets automatically updated with new content
• New photos and videos are easily uploaded via SlideShowPro and YouTuber for a fun, engaging user experience
• Lightweight CSS3 design and an alternative layout for mobile browsers present the site quickly and efficiently

AJC Media Solutions website

I was contracted to develop the content management system for the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s AJC Media Solutions site.

I took a great design from IQ Interactive, created Joomla 1.5 templates, and structured the site so IQ and AJC staffers could easily add content, including an extensive collection of Flash movies and PDF whitepapers.

Working from home and traveling to Atlanta for a few days, with follow up documentation and consultation, I got the project done on time and well within the budget.
