Bainbridge Rental - D7
Bainbridge Rental is a D7 website still in the making. What is currently on the site is and almost direct conversion for their old HTML site. The owner is still coming up with additional and fresh content. We also have second website for them in development that we expect will be equally slow to take shape. Hey, we are here to help. |

Emergency Prepardness NW - D6
Emergency Prepardedness NW is one of our local fav's. A fully scaleable Drupal6 CMS web site with a forum, in-house managed product catalog and blog along with integrated shopping cart and hybrid built-in shipping system. After less than 2 hours training the site's owner is happily maintaining it himself and he would be the first to admit he is not a "computer wizard." We provide him with full web site backup capabilities as well as take care of the heavier lifting like SEO and Google monitoring. |
Nancy Austin Law - D6
Nancy Austin Law is a discrete informational website about her law practice while also providing an easy to navigate public FAQ's section for her volunteer work with the Washington C.A.S.H. program. Interesting fact, although we live relatively close to one another, say 30 miles apart, we've never actually met. We have conducted all our business, designed her website, and she has even written a testimonial for us, and we've never met face-to-face. Although we are happy to be a convenient and easy to work with resource, we do like to meet the client whenever possible. That said we are also quite comfortable and prepared to work with you exclusively through a virtual connection. |
Smoke it if ya Got it BBQ - D6
Smoke it BBQ does smoking competitively on the PNWBA circuit and private catering. These folks make some simply other-worldly smoked meats that quite honestly leaves me craving more for many weeks after having it. These folk's web site is another fresh new site that we cranked out for them very quickly to get them up and running. They will be taking advantage of our Managed Hosting solution and working with us improving the site a little bit at a time. Like many owner's they often underestimate how difficult it can be to go about finding quality content to use on the web site. |
Orcas Tree House - HTML/CSS
Orcastreehouse.com is an excellent example of how we adapt to our client's needs. Pam, is a local grade school teacher and pastel artist on Orcas Island in the San Juans Islands, and she rents out her home year round. We monitor and filter her rental web site e-mail for her, --forwarding the important mail where ever she's needs it sent. She finds herself off-line a lot of the time during the summer months, so she finds this service absolutely invaluable. We've also given her site a face lift and created an annual availability calendar that indicates the days her home has been reserved at a glance. Much of Pam's fine art is also displayed on a portion of the website. The improvements to her web site are directly responsible for having a profound impact over the past year. Her rentals have gone from mostly "summer-only to all year round, and her rental revenue has nearly doubled over the previous year before she transfered her site to us. She has been raves to everyone that will listen about us. Pam, a referral herself, has referred both of our other Orcas Island clients. |
Port Hadlock Marina - D6
Marsh Andersen LLC property Port Hadlock Marina's website launched late February 2011 and now racking up page visits... The feedback shortly after going live from Manager Tod Hornick, "As our sole source of advertising the new site is now pulling 3 to 4 inquiries a week. The difference has been dramatic, just like flipping a switch." This website has also been a dramaitic case for our SEO skills. The former website with this same domain name had completely trashed the domain with the search engines. We were able to get this turned around with the new website and now search engine performance is outstanding. |
Spencer Yacht Owners Group - D6
SpencerYachts.net This website was first started by a Canadian friend back in 1997 and I became involved with it in 1998 right after buying the "Office." The original version of this web site actually pre-dates the business by a couple of years. This current version was purpose built to work well with it's a large and diverse community of user's. The core demographic for this web site is pretty wide from early 30's up through the 70's so it has to appeal and work for a wide audience. |

Orcas Farmhouse - HTML/CSS
Originally another word-of-mouth referral, we have been hosting this OrcasFarmhouse site we designed for several years now. The site has had a few rentals during the part of the year they rent out their home but also the value of this web property that has gone from zero to appraised value of around $860.00 today. What makes this site interesting is the website has been appreciating to value similar to the amount originally invested in the design and building of the website. |
Travis Naughton - D6
Travis Naughton is, besides my cousin in Mousouri, a talented writer and columnist about a stay-at-home dad. He writes from the heart and it really pulls you in. This website is currently being used to sell is first novel, an opus called "Naked Snow Angels." It is quite original and humorous and is highly recommended. (Please note: In a very baised 'he's my cousin' sort of way.) |
Eagle Harbor Marina - HTML to Drupal7
In the spring of 2005 the manager at Eagle Harbor Marina came to us with this pretty sad little home made website. Their domain name was up for renewal and he wanted to make some initial changes. We convinced them that they needed to make a small investment for a real website. We provided them with what you can see here. This older version of the website, when it was first built, proved to be one of our most popular HTML/CSS designs. It received many compliments and has done very well over the years for the marina in terms of search engine returns with using no other mainstream advertising. In March 2012, we've again updated the website from the old HTML/CSS design to a brand new Drupal 7 CMS website. This is a nice example of how we can import a lot of the look and feel from an older website into a new modern Drupal 7 site. In this particular case, the background and some design elements were incorporated. This provides a real sense of continuity for the regular reader when transistioning from the old to the new. This acknowledgement viewer of the website is so often lacking in today's modern Internet. |
Orcas Culinary Retreat - D6
Orcas Culinary Retreat is a 2nd word-of-mouth referral, this is an unusual concept web site that features fine baking and cooking classes with an event catering component. The owner is starting a new blog and developing her onlne presence. And still a bit of what it is she wants her site to be. We have been working together with her for well over a year on this project. So this has been a slow development process that has definitely been at her own pace. Although a bit unusual in terms of the circumstances behind the long dev time, we do pride ourselves in working closely with a new site owner and assisting them through the development process one step at a time. Forward progress for us often comes down to patiently waiting for the customer to supply the next piece of content needed. Launched Feb 2011 |
Guitar Emporium - D7
Guitar Emporium is an upper-end acoustic guitar dealer now located on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands, they prviously owned a first-class acoustic guitar shop in Ballard, WA(Seattle) for 21 years. One of our very first and our longest continous customer. We have collaborated in the past by helping them sell on eBay some particularly valuable Brazilian guitars that were aging in their inventory. SPS&C managed each related eBay auction on their behalf and during an 8 month period, successfully sold 6 guitars for a total just under $17,000.00. This is a complete redesign of their old HTML website into a Drupal 7 e-commerce-ish site. Several features dynamic catalog views, fully index searches etc. |
KitsapVentures.com (WA C.A.S.H support group) - D6
A secure member's only blog purpose-built for a group I participated in a while back. This site is slightly unique in that there is no public side of the web site. The only publicly visible page is the login page. Once a member successfully logs in, an active forum and fairly lively discussion group opens up, but because the site is totally private, you are free to discuss what ever you'd like. This was built to be a sorta live group discussion, group blog, and public group support & collaboration site . Also features the ability to e-mail an individual or the entire group with a single mouse-click. A group-wide calendar rounds out the main features. |
