Websites built around what the business needs to accomplish.
Not templates with a logo dropped in. Every project below started with a conversation about what the organization actually needed its website to do.
Hummingbird Hills Winery
LiveFultonville, New York · Website Design & Development
The project
Hummingbird Hills is a husband-and-wife winery on 200 acres in the Mohawk Valley — twenty-six handcrafted wines, a tasting room, a fire pit at the edge of the vines, and workshops most weekends. The business had far more to offer than its online presence was showing.
I designed and built a multi-page custom website around how people actually plan a visit: browse the wines, check what's on this weekend, find the hours, and get in touch — from a phone, in a parking lot, on a Saturday morning. Every page was built to hold up at both sizes, as shown above.
Visit the Live Site →What the site does for the business
- A professional first impression for visitors arriving from search or social
- Wines and the tasting room experience presented clearly, in the winery's own voice
- Upcoming events and workshops promoted in one place customers can check
- Hours, address, directions and booking details easy to find on any device
- A simple, direct way to contact the winery and plan a visit
What was built
Six custom pages
Each page was designed around a different job the winery needed done — not one template repeated six times.
The work doesn't stop at launch
I host and maintain the site, monitor that it stays up and fast, and handle the updates as they come — new events, new photos, changed hours. The winery focuses on running the winery; I handle the technical side so the site never goes stale after launch.
Lucas' Army Foundation
A nonprofit supporting children and families affected by cancer. For an organization like this, a website isn't a brochure — it's part of how the mission gets funded and how families find help.
The site is built to tell the foundation's story, show its impact, promote fundraising events, present it credibly to sponsors, and remove every barrier between a visitor and the decision to help.
Tea Time Travelers
LiveA luxury tea-party event planner needed a website that matched the experiences she creates — elegant, calm, and easy for guests to explore, trust, and book.

Projects to date have been across New York's Capital Region and Mohawk Valley. Work happens over calls, email and shared files, so location has never been the deciding factor — I take on projects wherever the fit is right.
Have a business that deserves a better online presence?
Let's build a website around what makes yours worth visiting.
Start Your Project →A website is one place a brand shows up. I document all of them.
Alongside the Hummingbird Hills website I produced a brand reference for the winery — logo files prepared for every use, a colour palette drawn from the artwork itself, a type system, and custom icons. A printer, a sign maker or a T-shirt vendor can match the brand exactly, years from now, without guessing.
Logo files
Wordmark and crest, drawn in cream for plum or any dark background.
Half-size artwork for footers and email signatures.
Hummingbirds, grapes and oval — works on light backgrounds. Used in the site header.
Square crop for social profiles, app tiles and favicons.
Colour palette
Drawn from the logo itself — the plum from the grapes, the sage from the vine leaf. Gold and cream were added to give the plum something warm to sit against.
Typefaces
Headings set in 600 with tight leading. Open-licensed, so the winery can use it on print, apparel and signage too.
Body copy at 400; buttons and labels at 600 with wide letter-spacing. Also open-licensed.
The reference document
The winery owns this document outright, along with every file in it.
