Web design for progressive groups

Right now I'm designing and programming websites for groups, and apologize that I haven't had time to develop my own site.

No, the links at the top aren't live yet. But eventually you'll see pictures & samples of my recent work, and other goodies. . .

Recent web sites I designed & programmed

Here are a few links to sites I've created (for groups that are worth checking out, in any case):

I do on-going support for most of the sites -- they're all groups I really enjoy working with...

The Berger-Marks Foundation. Founded by Newspaper Guild activists in honor of the Guild's first woman organizer and funded by her lyrical husband, it's one of the few foundations to support women union organizers. Please check out the news updates! This is the only site where I do all the writing as well as the design and organization.

Philadelphia Neighborhood Network. I did the design for the site and worked with D. André Dhondt to adapt my custom content management system to their needs. I created the structure and we programmed it so that activists enter the news & other content into forms, and it's automatically formatted on each page. People are using it a little differently from what we originally envisioned, so it could stand a little tweaking.

The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 547. I did a complete re-organization and re-design for this progressive state-wide Michigan union. Most of the content is formatted and uploaded by their webmaster, with whom I work closely, but I've programmed the input and display of events. I'm working with them on more programmed functions, to make it easier for activists to contribute.

The National Lawyers Guild International Committee. The content of this site is also generated by open-source php programming so that lawyers can input regular news, events and reports on international rights using the simple, custom forms I designed.

The UE International web site features a regular newsletter on what's happening to workers in Mexico, among other things. Highlights from Mexican Labor News & Analysis are now available as an RSS feed. Get feed. This was the first site I programmed in php, so they could input the news themselves, and my design work includes the logo. We're looking forward to updating the site's design and programming, and I'll be starting on that soon.

Wayne State University Labor Studies Center - still carrying on it's excellent tradition of educating working people in the Detroit area. This is one of the first sites I designed, and the Labor Studies Center maintains it, using my templates. Since I created it, browser windows have gotten bigger and of a higher resolution -- it's time to make the home page bigger.

More to come
