hornermillwork.com

One of the leading millwork companies in New England, Horner Millwork's website (designed in-house) is chock-full of product information, design resources, and gorgeous photographs. The site includes a custom-built photo gallery which enables visitors to share content via social media and a searchable CAD library. I've been working with the marketing team at Horner since 2007, refining their online presence in service of their customers.

When Scott Doggett and John Simpson first approached me about building a website for their "budding" business, I was skeptical. When I found out that they have a wealth of experience in the fertilizer industry as well as the marketing world, I was much less so. Designed around striking product packaging, Doggett & Simpson's Growology website presents a strong identity for a unique product.

contenti.com

The Contenti Company is one of the largest online retailers of jewelry making tools and supplies (and the place where I first cut my teeth as a web designer). Having been in business since the hey-day of costume jewelry manufacturing in Providence, RI, they know what their customers want: quality tools at an affordable price and a website that allows them to find what they're looking for as quickly as possible. The focus here is on ease-of-use.

beehivekitchenware.com

Sandra Bonazoli and Jim Dowd operate their small pewter giftware company just down the hall from my studio, in an old mill building in Fall River, MA. Besides being amazing designers and craftspeople, they are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I built their website (which was designed by Alyn Carlson) and continue to maintain it as they expand their product line with new materials including porcelain and wood.

nankeenstyle.com

When Anne and Charlie Page discovered the beautifully patterned, hand-dyed, fabric known as nankeen, in the back alleys of Shanghai, they fell in love with it. Pairing the fabric with bold-colored linings and unique detailing, the couple brought their love to market as fashionable bags and products for the home. With a unique twist on a tradition as old as the Silk Road, nankeen wanted a website that reflected both the quality of the products, hand-made by Chinese artisans, and the lifestyle of their target audience.

smokeandpickles.com

It's all about fresh, local ingredients... and the creative mind of chef Dan George... and the close-knit staff... and that impressive smoker on wheels. Okay, so it's not any one thing that makes Smoke & Pickles remarkable - it's the combination of all of the ingredients that go into a Smoke & Pickles event that make the sum so much greater than the parts. And their website is no exception - beautiful photography (Paul Clancy), inspired design (Alyn Carlson) and creative writing (Dan George).

bjmfg.com

Billing itself as a one-stop job shop for jewelry and giftware manufacturing, B&J Manufacturing needed a website that would communicate their core services in a clear, concise way and encourage potential customers to contact them for further information. Using a combination of action-focused photographs (some of which were taken by yours truly), short descriptive text, and an easy-to-find job quote form, the resulting site strikes a good balance between information and call to action.

luckyfieldorganics.com

Having grown from a one acre, six member CSA to a 47 acre, 300 member CSA, Lucky Field Organics came to me looking to refresh it's online image. Not unlike many small businesses, they had an aging website that no longer reflected their business. Keeping some elements that were working with the old site and adding new features like interactive maps for CSA pickup locations, the new site does a much better job communicating what the farm is all about.

melloschourico.com

If you're not Portuguese, you may not be familiar with chourico (pronounced "shore-EESE"). Mello's Chourico has been producing this distinctly spicy sausage in Fall River, MA since the early 1900s. With online sales making up a large percentage of their sales volume, Mello's needed an e-commerce website that would allow them to ship their perishable products safely across the country. This required considerable customization of the shipping timetables on the site - work that goes unseen, but adds up to an effortless shopping experience.

pepetools.com

Primarily a wholesale manufacturer, Pepetools wanted to allow its retail consumers to see their tools up close and locate a nearby dealer for purchasing, while at the same time allowing their wholesale customers to place orders directly through the website. To accomplish this, an off-the-shelf e-commerce solution was heavily customized, hiding all pricing information from non-wholesalers and enabling a shopping cart exclusively for those with accounts.

reneemonteirobernard.com

Jeweler Renee Monteiro-Bernard was looking for a simple, elegant portfolio site to show off her thesis work. Placing her evocative photographs front-and-center makes a bold statement from the very start.

danielclayman.com

Well-known international artist Daniel Clayman crafts monumental sculpture from cast glass. Most of his works are comprised of simple geometric forms that when combined define a volume of space larger than the material would otherwise afford - much like his website.

tiffanypeay.com

The subtle hints of color in the design for Tiffany Peay's website complement the gemstones in her jewelry. In showcasing such colorful work, a delicate balance had to be struck between adornment and distraction - after all, it's the jewelry that should be focus of the customer's desire, not the website.
