Andersonville Maple

Sam Young — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:57:38 +0000

Just launched a website for Andersonville Maple. This is the Vermont Maple Syrup that my family has been producing for a couple of generations now. They have won “Best of Show” for their Maple Syrup for 5 years running at the Orleans County Fair. This is a Wordpress site that uses google Checkout to process their ecommerce orders

Parker Pie Co.

This week we launched the new website for the Parker Pie Co. We built it with WordPress allowing for the staff to update the specials and beers on tap. And with the WordPress apps for iPhone and Android bartenders can update the beers on tap right from their mobile device.

Lavoe: The Untold Story

While in Puerto Rico I met a film producer named Anthony Felton. We got together a couple of times and the next thing you know I am putting together a website for his upcoming picture Lavoe: The Untold Story. Darcy and I were invited to a screening even before the premiere and sat next a Puerto Rican senator who plays Hector Lavoe’s mother in the movie.

Highland Mountain Bike Park

Last week I launched the redesign of Highland Mountain Bike Park. This was a Wordpress MU installation with multiple top level domains. The site is integrated with their new offering highlandcamps.com. This was a fun project and Ryan Thibault over at Bohaus Designs came up with a really sharp new look for this premiere mountain biking destination on the East Coast.

Kaua Photography

We recently remade the website of a close friend and Maui Wedding Photographer, Kaua Woessner. Kaua was looking to put his photography front and center of his website as a way to have the bride-to-be instantly fall in love with his work. Built on the Wordpress platform it also makes it possible for Kaua to add a story about his weddings on his new blog. We used the ShowitWeb flash slide show builder to add music and transitions to his photography.

Peter Shumlin for Vermont Governor

Sam Young — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:53:29 +0000

My latest creation is a website for the gubernatorial campaign of Peter Shumlin. He’s a man with a lot of political courage and now he has a top notch online presence as well. The website is built on the open source platform Wordpress and is well integrated with all of the social media sites. To top it off we used an installation of phplist – an open source email list management tool – to manage the campaign communications

Meg Gibson approached me with her own design that she wanted translated to the web. Her new website megibsonart.com showcases her beautiful scientific illustration, design, and photography. Meg is very talented and pleasant to work with. I recommend her for those looking for design particularly for those looking for hand drawn illustrations. This was a Wordpress installation alongside Gallery 2.

Vermont Fine Woodworking

Sam Young — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:58:13 +0000

This is a website that I created for my brother’s fine woodworking and cabinetry shop in West Glover, VT. It provides him a way to manage his photo Gallery through iPhoto. It is built using Wordpress and Gallery 2.3 with the WPG2 plugin to integrate the 2. We rebranded his business as Vermont Fine Woodworking. If you are looking to install a fine custom kitchen in Vermont, then Ed is definitely the man to call. The design was done by M.E. Gibson Art.

ReSource

Sam Young — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:27:23 +0000

This was a project that I participated in this summer as a subcontractor for Brandthropology in Burlington. They are a really dynamic team and I had a good time getting to know them. Brandthropology actually took this project on as a pro-bono project to help support what they feel is a valuable community enterprise. It allowed me to get down into the nitty gritty of building websites with Drupal. This was a multisite installation for all of ReSource’s projects ReStore, ReBuild, ReTrain, RePair and ReTrian.

Kimbell Sherman Ellis

Sam Young — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:38:55 +0000

I did the web development for this site of one of Montpelier’s lobbying and public relations firms. Or in today’s terms Government Affairs and Strategic Communications. The design was done by Scuola Group out of Burlington and the Project Management was handled by Kimbell Sherman Ellis. This was a project that really tested me with where I could go with the Wordpress platform and made me more confident than ever that is is a really powerful and infinitely customizable web platform.
