Maybe you know Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for their music. Or maybe you saw (and loved!) the movie Once. Or perhaps you saw them on the Oscars when they won the award for best song.

It’s really exciting when I get the opportunity to take a site I initially designed to the next level. I originally designed pilates-pro.com more than two years ago. In that time, the site has grown and evolved. I redesigned the site with new content areas, a job board, an interactive discussion board, and all sorts of other exciting additions. An integrated effort, we also created a full-featured newsletter to promote the new site.

It’s always very satisfying to see sites that I’ve designed grow and evolve. NRSV.net is the site for the New Standard Revised Version of the Bible. Since I designed the site two years ago, they have added several new editions and more information about the line. I updated the site to include this information.

Kevin Donnellon is a public relations specialist whose focus is the golf market.

I designed this site using a content management system, which allows Kevin to easily update all the content on his site on his own, empowering him to make site updates himself.

This is scheduled for the June issue, but you can download it and read it here now.

Margot Madison is a successful small-business owner, a wedding-invitation designer to the stars and now the purveyor of different customized paper product lines. This site has been my most ambitous to date—using sophisticated AJAX scripts, users can place orders for custom stationery orders on the site. (Featuring Margot’s wonderful designs.)

As a group, fine artists tend to come up short when they represent their work online. (And that’s an understatement.) The Artist’s Magazine asked me to write an article about some exemplary artists’ Web sites and these sites can provide inspiration when building their own sites. The article will come out in the March 2008 issue, but you can downlad and read the article here.
