The UMASS ASL Champion Fund raises money and awareness about the medical condition once known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, and now called ALS.

UMASS Medical Center is focusing a great deal of effort on searching for a cure for this challenging illness.

www.umassals.com

This site combines a great deal of critical content on one home page: a video player with a series of video to choose from, information on many aspects of the UMASS Medical effort to find a cure for ALS.

The primary video shown is an address from former Massachusetts Governor, Paul Cellucci, who has been diagnosed with ALS and is leading the charge for fund raising and research.

Gifford describes itself as "a private, nonprofit, coeducational day school providing a specialized educational and clinical program for students who face a variety of learning, behavioral and/or emotional challenges."

In my brief visits to Gifford I was struck by what a warm, supportive (and very lovely) environment Gifford has created.

The site is centered around a slideshow that features various aspects of Gifford life. I designed a new version of their "house" logo for the site, and worked with the existing color palette.

The site is designed to fit nicely on the screen of any sized viewing device, including iPads.

This site represents the investment management services for Jonathan Pond. We looked for a design that had a financial theme, as well as reminding visitors that they are at the site of a well-known, trusted advisor.

The homepage features a jQuery slideshow (this means it works on iPads and iPhones), and uses the sort of clear, clean, layout and navigation that attracted Jonathan in the first place.

The design uses the popular "woven" logo that the Diocese has been using, with a new phrase that captures the current spirit of the church. The home page features a slideshow with clickable captions, along with current news items.

There is an extensive customized "Find a Church" section, with custom maps of each section of the Diocese, or Deanery.

Redfin Solutions programmed the site in Drupal, including many specialized functions, like the maps, linked above.

Our new design for the Project Bread site is a major departure from the previous design: it features a full-width slideshow, with an optional audio narration by Executive Director, Ellen Parker.

Our goal was to give the entire site a cleaner, easier to navigate look and feel.

The site is powered by a content management system provided by Convio.

Communications Director, Emily Hiestand, and I worked closely to come up with a approach that reflects an entirely new branding for the School.

The home page features a revolving series of Research Spotlights by faculty.

Baby mohair comes from specially bred goats: the first two shearings from which are specially soft, hence called baby mohair.

The folks at BabyMo USA are the exclusive importers of a wide range of products from personal apparel to home accessories.

www.babymo-usa.com

The site is designed to act as a fashion showroom for the various baby mohair products, with pages listing retailers who sell the products in most every state.

The BabyMo founders did their own product photography which we treated mildly with Photoshop to product pure white background images.

The site is intended to be simple and clean, but welcoming. We created a collage for the home page that combines elements from Edith's stories along with the covers of her short story collections. Readers familiar with her stories may recognize images that spark memories. Other images may intrigue readers to try a new book.

There are links to buy her books at Brookline Booksmith, Edith's local bookstore and a renowned in dependant bookstore. There are also links to buy from Amazon.

The design needed to balance the two classic issues for a homepage: convey lots of information, but also present a strong, clean look. In additon it needed to have a certain flavor of "religous-ness", which we conveyed by using a variety of religous symbols to divide up the various content areas.

Part of the project was developing a logo that balanced the three visuals of the cross, Massachusetts, and the statehouse. We created this logo and supplied it on business cards and letterhead.

The site was built using Drupal content management.

This complete new design for Chapman replaces my previous 6 year-old design. Chapman has grown and priorities changed, so a new design and new content management system was in order.

One interesting feature of the design is the different header images that are used for each section of the site. We photographed groups of Chapman staffers in order to integrate them into a series of stylized collages.

The site is powered by Drupal content management, engineered by Redfin Solutions.

TeenSafe is a teaching website for parents created for Children's Hospital's Center for Adolescent Substance Abuse Research Program (CeASAR).

The program was created by Dr. John Knight in response to the tragic alchohol-related death of a young teenager from John's home town of Milton.

www.teensafe.org

The site is based on the teaching work done by Dr. Knight and Sion Harris, PhD. It gives parents essential information on how to handle the difficult issues of substance abuse among teens.

The site consists of two parts: a series of teaching pages, each with audio narration and graphics; and a series of video interviews where parents ask tough questions and Dr. Knight answers them. (One of those parents does look an awful lot like me...)

The videos were done by Sue Rothberg Productions, and the site was implemented by Redfin Solutions using Drupal content management and custom scripting.

The design uses the classic colonial reds of the Inn itself, with warm grays and tans. In order to allow the site to be updated as often as needed - it was designed to be built using a Content Management System. This will allow Wayside to add and edit pages as needed.

Major areas of interest are listed along the top right, with certain special items given their own icons above.

The site was implemented by DaVinci Group using Drupal content management and custom scripting.

These remarkable miniature houses are hand-crafted with remarkable detail and fired in clay. They are modeled after a range of actual houses, barns, churches and even outhouses from all over New England.

Artist MaryLyn Yonika made a few houses for a school fundraiser and the houses were so popular that they turned into a major artistic endeavor.

Lives in the Balance is the new non-profit founded by Dr. Ross Greene, author of The Explosive Child, Lost at School (see below) and many important papers about dealing with so-called explosive children.

The site contains extensive text, audio and video content all about Dr. Greene's revolutionary ways for parents and teachers to work with children.

The home page design is based on the metaphor of paddling a canoe - something that two people can NOT do with out collaboration.

Design is clean, white background, with occasional illustrations by that genius Manfred Klein.

The site is run by Drupal content management, programmed and hosting by Redfin Solutions.

This is a key outreach site for Dr. Ross Greene's work with challenging children. This site contains a store page where you can choose from the complete group of Collarborative Problem Solving books and videos.

www.cpsinitiative.com

The home page design uses a subtle version of the overlapping shapes that from the CPS logo. Each of the two primary pages has a clickable image and explanation on the home page.

The site implemented in Drupal, and programmed and hosting by Redfin Solutions.

CPS Connection is the central information site for Ross Greene's work with Collaborative Problem Solving for challenging kids. This site explains all of the different resources available for parents, teachers and other professionals.

www.cpsconnection.com

The homepage features Dr. Greene sitting on stool; as you roll over different site features he gives you an explanation in the large green text box.

The site is run by Drupal content management, programmed and hosting by Redfin Solutions.

The challenge was to find a look that reflects POAH's unique outlook as a mission-driven non-profit but with a completely businesslike way of working.

The site could neither be too slick, nor too "touchy feely", as audience groups include everyone from tenants to political powers to hard-driven property owners.

The site also does a color-shift when the visitor clicks to the property management side of the business, known as Preservation Housing Management.

The site was designed to be simple and direct – letting the food take center stage. The design uses the color scheme and logo developed for the new café and mixes a grid of clickable thumbnails in with just a bit of a free-form whimsy.

I handled the food photography and the truth is that photographing food by Vicki Lee and her executive chef Nora Martin Buchanan is a heckuva tasty photo assignment.

Strategy talks revealed that it was important to let the public know the wide array of services that Rosie's Place provides, so the home page was based around a visual tour of the programs and facilities.

The site includes a complete online store for The Women's Craft Cooperative (WCC), another innovative program.

I photographed the people and places for the tour and the product images for the WCC.
