Portfolio
The following examples illustrate some of our capabilities.
Modern Tea with Company:
This a a new E-commerce company in New York City that sells loose leaf tea products and catered tea parties. The owners initially wanted a static site with PayPal as the method of users buying the products or tea parties. However, after the web site was designed, they decided that they wanted a full E-commerce site. So the E-commerce site needed to be integrated into the existing design. As a result, the E-commerce portion of the web site is perfectly integrated into the site. The company has since gone out of business due to personal reasons and the fact that the site was generating more business then they could handle on a part-time basis. At this time, the ecommerce section is non-operational.
Columbia University Club:
A total site redesign. Members of the club can login and view the member list by school. This is driven by PHP and a MySQL member database. Features modern navigation (gone are the frames), all newsletters (past and present) available on one page with pull-down lists, current events (including past and future) available on one page through drop-down lists. Most events on the Events page have pop-up windows for event registration. An on-line member application form is integrated with a MySQL database. The new applications are sent by email to the Executive Director and also entered into the MySQL database. Once a week the data is sent to the Club office and entered semi-automatically into their MS Access Members database. At that point, the on-line database is emptied to await the next batch of applications. Both the event registration forms and the on-line application have Javascript error checking at the browser and PHP error checking at the host. There is over 500 pages in this site and it is a very complete "Club" site.

Day One:
Day One, a new york based nonprofit needed a web site developed. Day One partners with New York City youth to end dating abuse and domestic violence through community education, legal advocacy, supportive services and leadership development. Serving the five boroughs of New York City, Day One operates all of its programs on an empowerment model that invests young people in maintaining safe relationships for themselves and their peers. Working alongside youth, Day One educates, organizes and advocates on behalf of young people at risk of or experiencing intimate partner violence.
Just Tell:
Just Tell, a new york based nonprofit dealing with sexual abuse of children needed a website. All the drawings were done by children.
Just Tell’s mission is to reach out to youth who are being sexually abused in order to tell them that they are not alone, they are not to blame and should feel no blame or shame, and that they need to choose a trustworthy adult and tell them about the abuse.
Just Tell works to increase the percentage of sexually abused children who tell. We provide compassionate, reliable guidance to help these children tell a trustworthy adult. If a child wants to speak to someone anonymously, or needs help reporting the abuse, we offer our partner, the ChildHelp National Hotline. When children are in danger, we suggest that they call 911.
International Development Effectiveness Alliance:
A new non profit in Maryland dealing with International Development needed a website designed. The International Development Effectiveness Alliance (IDEA) is a group of practitioners who have come together around a common concern: how the U.S. Government is carrying out foreign assistance in developing countries.
Consignment Galleries:
A leading consignment shop in the Boston Metro area needed a web site developed.
Fresh Water Day Spa:
A beauty spa in Maplewood, NJ needed a web site. They did not have one and needed a site that reflected calm and serenity when they stepped into the spa.
Manhattes Group, LLC:
A Commercial Real Estate firm in New York City needed a new website designed that was simple and clean. There are four vertical scrolling Flash movies on the right side showing various words and terms important to the company. The center of the home page has a Flash photo gallery of some of the properties that they have for sale, lease, or development. When you mouse over the photo, a pop-down shows up with a short description of the property.
Logical.net:
Logical Net provides network and data center services and needed a redesign of their website. We modernized the the menu system, added a flash movie on the home page, fixed the three green boxes on the home page and revised most or all of the pages. On the Contact Us Sales page, we added form validation and a captcha to prevent spam email.

Transparencymag.com
Transparency is a new religious on-line magazine site. The owner had a blog but wanted a website to discuss and promote issues on morality and religion. We set up RSS feeds, a web page comment system so that viewers could leave comments on the article pages, and a link to "send this page to a friend" on the same article pages.
RPM Sales & Service
RPM Sales & Service is a new website for a small business in Pittsfield, MA. They service motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawnmowers, ATVs, tractors and small engines. They also sell used motorcycles. They have not had a web presence before and wanted the website to expand their business. They did not want a lot of words - just a simple message.
DRUPAL SITES (full Content Management)
OlivetPC.org
OlivetPC is the new website for the Olivet Presbyterian Church in Staten Island, NY. It is a full CMS site using Drupal. The website is finished but the church still has to add some information on some of the pages. This is one advantage of Drupal, in that the client can add data, photos, images ,at will, to the site from any computer at any time. The church has total control. In fact, they can add and delete pages, add and delete NavBar menu items, change the colors of the site or totally change the design and look of the site. The site has an events page where the administrator at the church can add/delete events and allow parishioners to sign up for events.
NYADP.org
New Yorkers for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (NYADP) is a re-designed web site. The non-profit changed it's mission and needed a new website that reflects this new mission. They wanted the re-designed website to be able to be updated and maintained by a nontechnical staff person. Lenox Web Design provided the ideal solution with Drupal. They wanted the site to be "to update for someone with no knowledge of the technical aspects of web design". The client can add/delete photos, text, pages and menu items at will from any computer at any time. The site has an event calendar, a blog, and can subscribe/unsubscribe to their newsletter. This is a double opt-in subscription. They can also develop and send newsletters directly from their website. The site has a number of audio files and a video file
