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

My second website for the City of Federal Way: a redesign for Dumas Bay Centre, a retreat center owned and operated by the City. The new site features rotating images of the event venue, panoramic views of the meeting rooms, downloadable catering menus, and an open source Content Management System.

Dumas Bay Centre, a former convent, is an affordable event venue for all types of groups — from business meetings and craft gatherings to memorials and weddings. The event center overlooks Dumas Bay from a 12-acre natural setting with a waterfront gazebo and historic garden. Three meeting rooms can accommodate up to 98 event attendees. And up to 90 guests can overnight in 67 guest rooms.

Our team created a full marketing plan including a new website, brand identity and marketing materials. The work included a comprehensive advertising plan with ads in Bravo, MyWedding.com, the Federal Way Mirror, and other publications.

We would definitely recommend Scott Marlow. Scott is knowledgeable, accessible, resourceful and a nice guy who is easy to work with! The whole process of re-designing our out-dated website was broken down into understandable, logical steps so that we were able to launch our new site on time and within our budget.
