Feast your eyes on Alice’s photographs. w3sights set up this web site + galleries + news blog recently. Based on WordPress, my favorite web platform, this site was launched for a photographic opening and reception called Unscripted Moments.

The Possibility Project
August 13, 2010 By
City at Peace is now officially “The Possibility Project” Their new name reflects their growth and their evolving mission since the founding of City at Peace 16 years ago in Washington, DC, and the beginnings of their national effort in New York City 10 years ago. With their new name, they wanted a new web site and I was happy to be selected to set up a site using WordPress, of course. I say of course because WordPress is what I prefer to work with these days and has become my de facto standard for many reasons. You’re pretty much covered for SEO using WordPress, for one. With so many plugins written for WordPress a site can be extended to do almost anything you imagine. Not to mention the fact that WordPress is trully user-friendly, so web site owners can do a lot of updating themselves.
The new Possibility Project uses a plugin with a name that I love – Hackadelic Widget Voodoo. Go to “The Possibility Project” and click on the black sub headings in the sidebar to see it in action. And that’s not it! Pages throughout the site with a lot of text have sections or chapters that are collapsible, too, making for a very neat appearance and allowing a visitor to go directly to and only read what they want to without sifting through long pages. See an example on the Cities page. Thank you to Zoran, the author of this plugin for making both sections in the sidebar and on the page into “cool, collapsible, AJAX-type citizens”.
Visit the Gallery to see images from recent productions, original musicals and images from community action projects. Here you will see what The Possibility Project envisions – A society where teenagers are valued, respected and play a leading role in creating a better world. There are many ways to get involved such as volunteering, donating, attending a show, or joining the project if you area teenager in New York City or one of the locations with Possibility Projects.
After working hard on this site to have it ready for launching on August 2nd, it was gratifying to receive an email from Kelly thanking me and saying that the site looked great and that everything went smoothly.

w3sights announces the launch of a web site for Bedrock Design and Fabrication, a stone fabricating shop dedicated to creating beautiful stonework for residential interiors. This site was developed using WordPress so that the owner can update the site himself. The site includes photo galleries of finished jobs, a bio, links to stone yards for clients and potential clients, plus email contact. Visit the Bedrock site!
City at Peace – New York
October 31, 2008 By
City at Peace is a national non-profit organization that uses the performing arts to empower teenagers to create safe, healthy, peaceful lives and communities. Several years ago I began working on the National web site for City at Peace and recently was asked to work on the New York site:
I am writing to you at the suggestion of Paul Griffin, with whom I work and who has recommended you highly. I am reaching out to you in the hopes that you would consider taking on CP-NY as your client and work your magic for us in the same loving and creative way that you have for CP-National! We have a functioning website, but not only do I need someone superbly professional and talented to help keep the information flowing on our site, but I am also considering having our site redesigned to mirror/match CP-National’s fabulously functional and eye grabbing site. We have many projects under development that would mean expanding our site and important updates every couple of months and when I mentioned to Paul that I needed someone who could do this work and tackle the bigger design work, who is excited by, and deeply respectful of the work we do (and frankly our limited funds!), you were who he raved about…
In this redesign project I used WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System) to accommodate and keep all the information easily up to date. The Home page has both a slide show and an YouTube video. The most recent news and events items are automatically displayed on the Home page, when no longer displayed news items are accessible because they are automatically archived. NextGen is being used for the show photos and the Youth Corner contains important information.
Fox Hill Farm Grass Fed Beef
October 29, 2008 By
The Fox Hill Farm Grass Fed Beef site was designed and developed using Zen Cart. I had the great fortune working with amazing photographs, all taken by Larry Lampman, the site owner, at his farm. The photo galleries, in fact, were set up using a clever adaptation of Zen Cart’s additional images that I discovered by reading and following an example in the Zen Cart Forum. Fox Hill Farm accepts checks and money orders for online orders at this time.
