Websy Daisy, Austin Texas Web Design

Featured Site: Kekla Magoon

Kekla Magoon is a writer based in New York City. She is the author of four young adult novels and several non-fiction works, and is a recipient of both the ALA Coretta Scott King New Talent Award and an NAACP Image Award nomination. Kekla had a web site that was split up between two domain names, plus a blog on Blogger, and it was a little confusing to navigate it all. I created a new, streamlined design for her, bringing everything under one “roof,” including importing the posts from Blogger into her new WordPress site.

Gina Edwards is a licensed professional counselor in Austin, Texas. She specializes in individual psychotherapy grounded in the principals and theories of depth psychology. She needed a site that was professional and polished and conveyed the mood of her practice. She provided some great photos, including the lotus used in her header. I love the “Reading List” feature on this site – as she wants to add more books, she can just type in an ISBN #, and the photo of the book and links are automatically found, imported, and formatted / sized correctly.

Austin’s David Hernandez of Zilker Construction wanted to be able to feature an upcoming property with its own web site – using the street address as its web address. Brilliant idea – he can put the URL on all advertising and signs, taking people to a web site that features that property – and only that property. The catch is that he wanted to be able to reuse the site – so I built the site in such a way that as he finishes one project and starts a new one, he can just replace the content and change the domain name – voila – new property, new site, same design!

Less waiting, if you hurry!

I had a verrrrry busy fall. Wow. So busy. I had so much work coming in that I was booking sites 3-4 months out! This was great – when you are self-employed, a bonanza like that gives a really nice sense of security. However, I also felt bad making people wait so long for a web site. I was having to turn down projects that I would have really loved to do, just because I knew I could not get them done as quickly as was needed.

So I buckled down and started working double and triple time to get to clients’ projects sooner. I streamlined a lot of my day-to-day administration work so that I could spend more time creating beautiful web sites. And finally, finally, I am just about caught up!

This means that my schedule is now back to a more normal 2-3 week wait. That makes this the perfect time to get on my schedule – almost no waiting and instant gratification!

Featured Site: Lake Pointe Dental

Lake Pointe Dental is an Austin-based dental office that was recently purchased by Dr. Holly Murphy. With the practice came an outdated web site created with a hosting company’s do-it-yourself web site builder—so it was time for a facelift! I took the logo Dr. Murphy had recently commissioned from a branding designer, and built a fresh, new, open design. The web site gives an impression of a friendly, comfortable, clean place to visit – and isn’t that how you’d like to feel about your dentist’s office?

Featured Site: The Plant People

Brother-Sister team Robin and Richard Hartman have been the proud owners of The Plant People in Ft Worth, Texas for ever 20 years, and provide high-end landscaping and maintenance services in 2 counties. They were looking for a new web site that portrayed them as the friendly, local business that they are, but also made it clear that this was not your run-of-the-mill leaf blowing service. I helped them with their copy, and created an earthy design with personality and lots and lots of photos showing their beautiful artistry at work!

Featured Site: Susan Lynn Meyer

Jenny — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:17:36 +0000

Susan Lynn Meyer is an English professor at Wellesley College outside Boston. She is also the author of an award-winning novel inspired by her father’s experiences as a Jewish child living in France during World War II, a children’s picture book, and a novel about a seven-year-old African-American girl living in the rural south in 1950 (to be released in 2014). She needed a new web site to promote her writing and provide information about presenting at schools. I put together a bright and friendly design that would be appealing to adults, but not too serious for the kids. The site is built in WordPress so that this author can add and edit as the urge strikes.

Featured Site: DuraSeal

DuraSeal is an Austin-based company that sells assorted materials for wastewater restoration projects. They had a web site, but were looking for something more polished and professional, and wanted the ability to update the site themselves over time. I took their existing logo and created a new design, then built it out in WordPress. Multiple navigation menus make it easier for their customers to find the information they need in just one click!

Featured Site: Annette Simon

Jenny — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:21:43 +0000

Annette Simon is a Florida-based children’s book author who creates fun and vibrant illustrations using colorful shapes, all wrapped around the most charming of stories. The plan was for her to create some illustrations that I could use in the design, but once she got started she ended up just creating the whole design! I am nothing if not flexible, so I took her design and created a flexible WordPress theme, allowing her to add new information and books in the future.

Featured Site: Jordana Raiskin

Jordana Raiskin is an Austin, Texas based therapist who uses a wide range of approaches to help her clients reach their goals. She had been getting by with a Google site, but it was pretty unfinished. I created a new, vibrant design (using colors from her existing business cards) and added a Skype feature so that she can help her patients remotely.
