Websites Created
I led clients through the process of figuring out how to turn their mission statement and goals into measureable website goals, including needed functionality and design. I wrote all the HTML and CSS code. I cleaned up, and in some instances took myself, all the photos used in these websites. I took most video (but obviously not the very professional Noise). I actively maintain the first three sites.
Singin Wid A Sword In Ma Han The old Christian hymn, Singin' Wid A Sword In Ma Han, Lord, inspired this gripping tale of love and escape on the Underground Railroad. I made this website in an attempt to convey the power of the play, the slave-era spirituals upon which it was based, and the grassroots, award-winning play it inspired. This musical is still running through November 2009 in NYC -- try to catch it! After this sucessful run, Singin' and this website will be used for presentations to schools (I am using the Yahoo API to develop an interactive map and continuing to extend my interactive design skills). I maintain this website.
Coca-Cola Anarchist This website promotes the memoir of an heir of Coca-Cola who lived a life far differently than he was raised. The memoir tells how life was in the early days of Atlanta, Coca-Cola, the continuing racism of current-day Atlanta -- and the roots of headline news in current Atlanta (The Altanta Olympics and the City of Atlanta vs. the homeless). This site uses multimedia to encourage a new generation of non-readers to read the book, as well as to enhance the books text for established readers. This site was particularly fun because it utilizes home movies from childhood -- (oldest color home movies I ever saw) and the author's irreverent personal and visual humor. I maintain this website.
Sistas' Place Popular Brooklyn jazz club promoting African American artists. (New version about to go up, current site is quite old!). I maintain this site.
BSVAC.org All volunteer nonprofit ambulance corp. Their first website. The embedded newscast video has brought them tens of thousands of dollars in donations, a donated ambulance, volunteers and more!
afterhoursproject.org A nonprofit serving IV drug users. They have added more animated graphics
toolsforradicaldemocracy.com Book site; primary place they sell books
YWCHAC (Young Women of Color HIV/AIDS Coalition)
HEATprogram.org (nonprofit youth org; not complete, they are editing content that youth will realistically read and that they can realistically update)
Vancortlandt.org (nonprofit; I created online store with PayPal shopping cart)
Noise: The Movie (promotes a friend's movie); no longer updated
marennparenn.org (small Haitian nonprofit; old site)
dawnreel.com (personal site; working on redeveloping, this is old!)
I made several years ago and they've changed a bit: Iris House (nonprofit)
