All kinds of design and development work, from logos, to standalone websites to WordPress implementations and groundwork for a new user-submitted news site. Most recently, I've been implementing my design of a brand-new XHTML/CSS website for a national attorneys' organization. Built on the open-source Sava CMS, and using the jQuery framework, the site provides authoritative materials and location-based practitioner searches for the public as well as user-updated profiles and networking for the members.
