Websites designed & built by Duffy...

A good cause + kind and generous people + a little extra time and know-how (from me) = ResurrectedOliveOil.com

The volunteer efforts of many came together to create this opportunity for the Miracle Ranch children’s home just south of Tecate, Mexico to sell their extra virgin olive oil stateside. All proceeds go to the orphanage in an effort to make them self-sustaining.

Looking for an incredible place to build your San Juan Mountains home? How about one with a view of Engineer Mountain to the north, and in the other direction the Animas Valley all the way to Durango? You even get a private lake with your own fishing dock!

I built this website and shot all the photos on-location to feature help the owner expose his property-for-sale to the broadest market possible – the Internet. It’s cached to load very quickly. It highlights the photography while still being informative. And it’s search engine friendly.

The new owner of Canadian Rubber and Steel in Vancouver, BC, wanted to bring his website out of the last century. But he also wanted stainless steel. Together we built a site that reflects the care and attention of new ownership while conveying the lasting quality and attention to detail of his company.

Local artists and glassblowers Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix wanted to take their website to the next level by streamlining their message, making their art stand out, and organizing their work to make it easier for the viewer to find and for them to update. Much thought and effort went into the design. WordPress helped it come together as seamlessly as their glass.

Located in Glencoe, Illinois, Highgate Builders wanted their website to reflect the high end finish and overall classiness of the homes they build.

WordPress was chosen for ease of maintenance and upkeep, and a nice, clean theme features the amazing photography Highgate invested in to show off their work.

Not just another realtor website. Chelsea wanted something with a little more polish and a cleaner layout with better photos for her listings.

I provided not only the site and hosting, but all the photography for her current featured listings.

Known throughout the Four Corners for its delicious baked goods, Bread remains hard to find if you don’t know where to look. Even a single page site like this one helps people find you, and maybe entices them to make a detour off Main for a taste.

The La Plata Unity Project needed a website that not only has all of its information in an easy to find and read format for English speakers, but for Spanish speakers as well. They also wanted to be able to update the events page regularly, and capture visitors who may want more information about their services. WordPress provided all the right tools. Click the flag of Spain on their site and take a look around.

With WordPress Template in hand Sonas IMC needed their website migrated from standard html to something more dynamic and attractive.

I have a soft spot for non-profits, especially ones involving organic food. I hand-coded the DFM website back in 2008 and have been maintaining it ever since as part of my “civic duty.”

This year I took my camera down to the Market on a sunny Saturday morning and updated the site’s photography. I like this shot the best.

Dr. Slosar, a spine surgeon in San Francisco, CA and I met back in 2007 when we collaborated on an entirely different project. His goal with his website was to differentiate himself from his group practice site, and be able to highlight his success stories and media exposure.

Having not yet worked with WordPress I chose TextPattern to build DrSlosar.com, with a similar goal of allowing the client, or his office staff, the ability to make modifications. TextPattern proved able and very secure, but lacked the ease-of-use of other tools. Still, the site holds up well almost 4 years later.

In 2009 I created the 3rd iteration of the Kogan Builders’ website. I hand-coded the first one in 2005 and another a couple years later. We switched to WordPress for the final version to allow Kogan’s staff to blog about their latest projects and awards, to update the website quickly and easily, and to accommodate modifications to the site’s design more nimbly. That was my first WordPress project and it sold me on the utility and flexibility of WP as a tool for building websites.

Vantage contacted me when their existing website disappeared one morning and the host couldn’t be contacted. These things happen. Using SquareSpace.com I got their site back up and running in less than a day. After they were satisfied with the results they gave me the task of implementing a news blog and stock ticker.

Why SquareSpace? Because it’s a fully-hosted solution for clients who want rapid development without being tied to a specific web-developer, or unreliable hosting company. SquareSpace has awesome customer support and a secure, well maintained platform for the client who may be wary of relying too much on the webmaster. (Which, by the way, I’m perfectly okay with.)

Another site built on SquareSpace.com, RMEC is a non-profit organization that needed it’s website built quickly, inexpensively and independently. Over time we added their Twitter feed and trained their interns to modify the website’s content.

Created using SquareSpace.com, the original goal of this project was to establish a presence that was larger than its sister site/company in Chile. It also needed to be a point of contact and repository for their brochure and careers page. As a growing concern, we will soon be revamping their website with an eye toward better SEO, cross-advertising and promotion of the company’s full range of services.
