Web Work

These are screenshots of some of the sites I've worked on. I've either built the site, designed it, had a hand in the design of it or worked on the content – or all of the above.

List of sites: 

AccessAtlanta – A markup of a proposed channel page from 199_. Originally, AA grew out of Cox Interactive Media, now it's COXnet…  I began with Cox in 1995 and left in 2000. My first task with Cox was to work on yall.com, which fed AccessAtlanta some content (especially e-postcards – ours were the best on the 'net at that time!).

1. Old press releases about Cox Interactive Media (or CIMedia). COXnet in its new clothes.
2. AccessAtlanta – as it is today

The Southeastern Association Executive – I rebuilt this site based on the trade magazine published out of Longwood, FL. It was a job short-lived and hard-worked. There were two of us that did the writing for that publication and others owned by the same publisher. We were paid very little for that amount of work. He owned a mansion in Heathrow…  Special Editions Publications is the name of the company.

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine – Part of NCI.com's family of home and design magazines.  Click here for the live site.

Five-Eight – An amazing band from Athens, GA. They've been at it for 15 years or more (20?) and continuously amaze people with their live performances. Click here for their official site.

Scribblet – A creative writing site online for nearly two years.

Trinket – I managed this band out of Athens, GA. It was a lot of fun… we did a roadtrip to New York City to perform in front of a bunch of A&R people. We got to stay at the home of a record dude from IRS records. The band eventually signed with RCA records and released a couple of CDs. I quit managing them to take care of my other full-time job and graduate school. The guitarist used to play tapes of people channeling aliens while on road trips. There were several redesigns for the band. Keep in mind, these were created circa 1994. Click here to see another one and click here for the last one. Heck, they even got a mention in Rolling Stone magazine! Check out Trinket's former singer, Brian Youmans' new band The Blackout Method on their MySpace page.

Yall.com – CIMedia site through the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Four people doing innovative stuff for the Web from 1995-1997. We had podcasts before the word existed (we called it yallradio), BUGS – an online community predecessor to blogging meets MySpace,  Shockwave games, an Elvis shrine and the best e-postcards EVER! We held online chats with rockstars, actors and assorted Southern weirdos, produced a CD of Southern music for Habitat for Humanity, produced a concert tour around the Southeast featuring bands from the CD, and got AccessAtlanta involved to play one of the sponsors and hosts of Music Midtown. We featured jokes, profiles of Southern artists and authors, photo galleries of things from yard art to Dragon*Con (it takes place in the South…).

We also featured Southern jokes (thanks to Jeff Foxworthy, amongst others), cool stories about food culture (John T. Edge is now one of the directors at the Southern Foodways Alliance), got to interview amazing people – some of which are cultural icons – and overall had a blast.

It must be said: Rest in peace Scott Rogers – an amazing artist (all graphics on yall.com were Scott's originals) and musician who loved to live fast and hard. And to my dear friend, Nicholas Schweitzer, a talented writer and developer – we joked constantly about how funny it was that a Jewish girl and gay guy worked on a Southern culture Website!

YDS.com – YDS stood for You Don't Say and was the portal for community managers that worked for Prospero Technologies. I worked for Prospero as the community manager/liaison between Prospero, NBCOlympics and Quokka Sports to cover the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. I didn't get to go to Australia, but Prospero had beautiful offices in Sausalito overlooking San Francisco Bay. It was surreally the most unusual job I had ever had in the most beautiful of locations. Of course, it wouldn't last (the company shuttered the windows in 2001 at their Sausalito office and took up residence in New Hampshire). I stayed behind to work for…

Modbee.com and Route99Live.com – These two sites ran out of The Modesto Bee's newspaper headquarters in Modesto, CA. Route99Live.com was the entertainment site of Modbee.com but eventually, the two sites were merged into one.
