Live David Edward Byrd Estate website home page

Estate Archive & E-Commerce

David Edward Byrd Estate

The official website and collector store of the late poster artist David Edward Byrd, the hand behind Broadway, rock and film artwork for generations. We built it as a permanent estate platform: a working shop, a searchable archive of his work, a full life timeline, a book section, and the rights and authenticity pages an estate needs to protect the work.

Client Estate of David Edward Byrd Built with PHP · MySQL · Stripe

What we built

  • Collector store of 101 catalog works with variants, availability and a custom cart — no Big Cartel look-alike, no embedded storefront.
  • Stripe Checkout with shipping options and owner order e-mail; a sales log and catalog tools in a private admin.
  • Archive of 381 product and artwork images, regenerated at web quality from the original masters and stored on the estate’s own site, so the shop no longer depends on a third party.
  • A 113-stop illustrated life timeline plus a biography, with downloadable Word editions.
  • Poster Child book section, press and media pages, legacy and obituary pages, and a research area.
  • Rights, authenticity and shipping/returns pages written for collectors and licensing requests.
  • Theme studio so the estate can adjust the look without breaking the design; daily database backup, sitemap and search-ready markup.

Live Core of Recovery website

Live The Rustic Poet home page

Books & Publishing

The Rustic Poet

A full publishing platform for the poet and author Silas Fen. We built the brand, the site and the machinery behind it so a poem can go from an e-mail to a published page in minutes, while the same site carries the books, the events and the shop.

Live Amy Dakos graphic design portfolio website

Photography & Art

Amy Dakos Design

A portfolio website for graphic artist Amy Dakos, whose work spans more than three decades of brochures, logos, menus, advertising, books and large-format displays. The rebuild organizes about seventy-seven projects into nine disciplines so a client can find the kind of work they need in one click, instead of scrolling a single image dump.

Live The Hollow Veil book one cover

Books & Publishing

The Hollow Veil

A five-book dark-fantasy series set in modern Bucharest, written by Silas Fen. We designed the cover system, built a private reader site where early readers sign in and read Book One chapter by chapter, and produced the editor’s manuscript editions. The book has its own landing page, built to feel like a dedicated website.

What we built

  • Private, invitation-only reader site: individual sign-ins, a table of contents, progress tracking and a “mark my place” bookmark that syncs between phone and desktop.
  • Designed reading experience: chapter art, detailed city maps, cast and glossary pages, author’s note and a Book Two teaser.
  • Admin for the author: reader contacts, e-mail-all, and each reader’s last-read and marked spot.
  • Cover system and book design in partnership with graphic artist Amy Dakos.
  • Editor’s manuscript editions in Word and PDF, rebuilt from the same source after every revision.
  • Every link on the reader site audited in WebKit and Chromium on phone and desktop (656 checks, all passing).

Concept / proposal Twin Oaks Resort concept website

Hospitality & Events

Twin Oaks Resort

A premium website concept for a Texas wedding and events estate in Alleyton, about sixty miles west of Houston. We reframed the property as a wedding estate rather than a mixed-message venue, and designed a multi-page presentation that sells the feeling first, the setting second and the details last.

Client Twin Oaks Built with HTML · PHP admin
Proposal stage

In progress Carla Evans Photography gallery page

Photography & Art

Carla Evans Photography

A quiet, gallery-first portfolio for photographer Carla Evans that replaces her Adobe Portfolio page. The design stays out of the way so the photographs carry the page: they are never cropped, and there is no white space wrapped around them.

Client Carla Evans Built with PHP 8 · SQLite
Launch pending domain switch

What we built

  • Galleries for People, Places (USA, India and Viet Nam), Things and Student Images, matching her current site.
  • Image pipeline that keeps the untouched original and generates large, medium and small web copies.

  • Post by e-mail: send photos with the gallery name as the subject and they appear within minutes.

Private build Family tree archive concept mockup

Genealogy & Archive

Family Tree Archive

A self-hosted family-history site we built for ourselves to prove the approach. It runs on webtrees and syncs automatically from Ancestry through RootsMagic, so the tree, sources and photographs stay current without retyping anything.

Client iT Designs Built with PHP · webtrees 2.2
Private — mockup shown

What we built

  • Automatic pipeline: Ancestry → RootsMagic → GEDCOM with media → the site, running in the background whenever the tree changes.
  • Custom heritage theme in walnut and brass, with interactive pedigree, fan and descendant charts.
  • Sources and citations, a media gallery, a place hierarchy with maps and a calendar.
  • Per-person privacy for living relatives and multi-user family accounts; raw DNA data is never published.
