Welcome to the new home for The Kenney – West Seattle’s only nonprofit retirement community.

This custom WordPress website features resident stories, 360 degree virtual tours, as well as an e-commerce shopping cart where residents can pay bills online and visitors can make tax-deductible donations. For seniors, the site also includes an accessible font-resizer.

Great job David and Scott – the new site is more than we ever dreamed of!

Building Better Websites

Maximize your value. Minimize your risk. With WordPress’ default themes, I can build better future-proof websites, like this new 3-column design for Graddon Equity Advisors. The framework is 2010; the site tagline is my creation.

Scott Marlow was terrific to work with. He has great ideas and has been very helpful throughout the development process in providing ideas, suggestions and technical help. Scott also has a network of very talented specialists for photography, design etc. Long after the project was completed Scott has continued to check in with me to see if the site is working out and if I need any support.Lyle Graddon

Stretching Twenty Ten

Twenty Ten, the default theme for WordPress, has been downloaded over 320,000 times since last spring. Can you imagine promoting your services with a website that looked identical to a quarter million other sites? Neither can Erin Jasmine Taylor, owner and instructor of jasyoga – yoga for athletes.

So, fueled by Mighty O organic donuts, I baked the 2010 theme to match her existing brand identity.

I love Twenty Ten, almost as much as chocolate raspberry cake donuts. Each has been thoroughly tested and approved. And, for most small businesses, Twenty Ten includes 95% of the ingredients — and none of the fat — needed in a Content Management System. Plus, I can frost it over a hundred thousand different ways.

Most of my custom WordPress sites use Twenty Ten as the main ingredient. No adware. No black hat SEO. Just 100% pure CSS. Contact me for a taste of Twenty Ten.

As part of my ongoing investment in www.jasyoga.com I need the site to continually evolve in a thoughtful and efficient way. Scott offered the guidance I needed to take things to the next level, moved the project along seamlessly, and continues to advise site maintenance and development. I love my site and blog. I will continue to work with him on this and other projects and recommend him to all my clients.

Erin Taylor, jasyoga
Icing on the cake: ask Erin about her copywriting services.
