I recently completed the visual designs you see here for Seattle artist Julia Haack's website www.juliahaack.com.  I am now coding her portfolio site in XHTML, CSS and Javascript.

There is the most AMAZING place in the world called Turtlehead Farm on Orcas Island, and I have the most amazing opportunity to design and build the website for it! I am currently developing the site in XHTML and the plan is to migrate the site into a WordPress powered site. Check out the site at www.turtleheadfarm.com.

I love working with artists. It is evident because for two plus decades I have been helping artists promote their work as a writer and now as a website developer. Valerie lulu Roberts is a Vashon artist with flair like no other. We worked as a team on her new website launched this month April 2010. She had a vision of how she wanted the site to look, and I had the coding skills to deliver the JavaScript-powered galleries she desired. She has taken on the task of photographing her work and optimizing the photos. Bravo, Valerie. We are currently working on adding more galleries to showcase her work at www.valerieluluroberts.com.

While attending Seattle Central Community College, I became interested in modifying WordPress themes, so I lobbied for a class to be taught. For my assignment, I decided to create a blog called "Outtakes" which features my fine art photography. I designed my template in Dreamweaver using XHTML and CSS. I then integrated the design into WordPress and added a jQuery powered gallery for my photographs. The design is in progress and I hope to have it done soon.

In my last quarter as a web design student at Seattle Central Community College, I was hired as a volunteer intern to redesign the Pat Graney Company website. The old site had some tables gone astray. My goal was to make the site more readable and draw attention to the Education programs and need for donations, as well as the performance history of this talented Seattle choreographer. I successfully earned work experience credit toward my Web Design Certificate, which I was awarded in December 2009. The site is still a work in progress.

I am proud to say that I successfully launched my first website for a client. Click on the image above and check out gourd artist Charlotte Masi's new portfolio site charlottemasi.com. The goal of the site is to showcase Charlotte's art in an elegant and colorful style. I found effective JavaScript code to create dynamic photo galleries of her work. Each page features details of her artwork in the design. I also helped Charlotte with the site's content. I wrote the copy and took her portrait to help promote her. In addition, I trained her in some basic HTML so she can easily update the site herself!

"The great thing about working with Jenn is that she is multi-talented. She's a talented writer, takes amazing photos, and designs creative web pages! I've known her for a long time and can attest to her dedication and endurance." —Charlotte Masi
