A new site for artist and illustrator Randy Rumpf to showcase his portfolio.

I’m using the free Gallery Theme based on Thematic and powered by Wordpress to feature Randy’s artwork. Visit the site here.

Launched December 6, 2009, Your Tax Strategy is a site managed for business owner Matt McMorris, of MJM Tax Consulting, LLC., located in Clifton Park, NY. Matt was looking to upgrade his site from an earlier incarnation, and I was looking to pay him for tax work his firm did for me this year! So it all worked out. We’re running on Wordpress using a theme by StudioPress. We designed the logo and will be expanding the content to include management bios, and eventually a blog.

Healthy Wallet is the Web site for finance coach Elham Menhaji, of New York City. Ellie’s a CPA who’s developed a business helping people become more financially literate and teaching them how to gain greater control over their finances.

The site is running on Wordpress using a theme by iThemes.

See the brochure we created for Elham as well.

Launched the sumer of 2009, Lisbeth Calandrino is the Web site of, you guessed it, Lisbeth Calandrino, a professional speaker and published author who works closely with us at blue.0. We launched Lis’s official blog on Typepad in 2008, and then launched this new site to promote her book and brand: Red Hot Customer Service.

Integrated Bodies is a Rolfing business owned and operated by Moira Mills, of Albany, NY. We’ve known Moira for a while and actually put up her earlier site — which we won’t go into here. That’s how bad it was. But a couple years and some new tricks learned, we feel the next version is a good representation of her professionalism and ability as a body worker.

Moira’s a big fan of the Cleveland Browns. Or at least of their team colors, so we went with a burnt orange background. We’re running on Wordpress using a theme by iThemes.

We also added links to Moira’s interviews in local newspapers and embedded a video of her interview on T.V.

The site’s feature photos were taken by Michael Eldredge of Living Fiction Photography.

Leading up to the 2009 Freihofer’s Run for Women 5k, we integrated a blog into the race’s Web site and have since been writing, posting, and spreading the world to help build excitement for the 2010 race. One challenge was to duplicate the Web site that the race’s PR firm, Rueckert Advertising, designed, so that the switch between the Web site and the blog would appear seamless. We took a Wordpress theme called Elements of SEO, gutted it, and then added elements from the Web site so that the look and feel were essentially the same between the two sites.

The blog was set up as a sub domain of the main site, so it helps with search engine rankings. In fact, the blog comes up page 1 in Google when you use several search terms related to running.

One downside is that owing to the extreme customization we did with the theme design, there are a couple glitches when you view the blog in Internet Explorer 7. The blog looks fine in IE 8 as well as all other browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc.), so this is something we’re keeping an eye on with future releases.

We recently launched Treasure Chest Foods, a door-to-door seafood and meat delivery business operated by Matt Wakelin of Clifton Park, NY.

Matt was looking for a Web site that would help customers in the Capital Region find him and be able to schedule deliveries. The site is running on Wordpress using a design by WooThemes. To help add personality to the site, we wrote some articles highlighting different aspects of Matt’s business.
