Here are some older sites that have since been redesigned (by others).

Mendocino Coast District Hospital: I first moved this site from static HTML to WordPress, and then created multiple different custom themes over the years — they liked to keep things fresh!

Kelley House Museum, Mendocino, CA: I originally moved the site from Joomla to WordPress, and jointly created a custom theme with a student in my Web design class. Since I was also a Board member and a volunteer, I also networked the museum, installed half a dozen computers, and did a lot of graphic design for the organization.

Other Sites: other sites that have gone to the Great Bit Bucket in the Sky include:

• Mendocino Hotel and Hill House Inn, Mendocino CA: these lodging properties had the same owner, and I created and updated the sites for 5 years.
• Surf & Sand Motel, Fort Bragg, CA: I replaced the tables-based design with a proper CSS-based design. I also took photographs of the rooms and exterior, and used my photography of adjacent MacKerricher State Park.
• Surf Motel & Gardens, Fort Bragg, CA: in addition to creating and managing a site for this lovely motel, I also provided photography for the extensive gardens and other facilities.
• Mendo Litho: Mendocino Lithographers (Mendo Litho) was the top print shop on the Mendocino Coast, and this site featured all of their services, rate schedules, guidelines, and more.
• Mendocino Coast Travel: I created this site for Jim Davis, a travel agent on the Mendocino Coast.
• Branesky Sheet Metal: Branesky Sheet Metal does custom metalwork, heating systems, and stoves for heat.
• Agate Cove Inn: this was the first Web site I created after my time at HP Labs (the version shown here is from 2004). My wife and I bought this spectacular inn in Mendocino, CA, and then ran it for 6.5 years. Among my other duties, I was responsible for the Web site and other marketing. I immediately took over the Web site in 1999 when we bought the inn, and I continued to improve it the whole time. I placed the first Webcam on the site in 2000, overlooking Agate Cove and the beautiful Mendocino Headlands.
