The site contains easy-to-find information on the course schedule, syllabus, homework assignments, and student resources, while reflecting solid design and information architecture principles.
Seattle Forager
Built in WordPress, this sample site is designed to demonstrate to clients how a content management system (CMS) works. The site’s pages are dynamically generated from a MySQL database and PHP files. Users can search for food-bearing trees in their neighborhoods, or log in to add new tree locations to the database.
Clients considering a site with a CMS can take this one for a test drive.
Village of Hope
The challenge of this project was to design and build a simple, one-page site on a tight deadline and small budget.

The scope of the project included assisting the client with:
- a content management system
- setting up a hosting account
- providing FTP access
- domain name registration
