How to Spot a Great Web Designer from 250,000 miles
Wednesday, September 01, 2010
Grover Sanschagrin, co-founder of PhotoShelter recently wrote a helpful blog post outlining things photographers should think about when choosing a web designer. I agree with everything he says, especially the part where he recommends me.
I’m one of eight recommendations, and Grover explains
I’ve created a list of designers (many of them are also photographers) who I feel are worthy of consideration. All of these designers are also experienced with PhotoShelter’s advanced customization capabilities, which means they know how to integrate all of PhotoShelter’s tools into a website or blog.
If you’re a photographer looking for a new site, especially if you’d like it to integrate it with PhotoShelter, I’d love to hear from you. And you don’t just have to take my word that I can help - you can ask Grover.
New site for Photographer Jeff Henig using Wordpress and Photoshelter
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
I’m delighted to announce the launch of our latest website - it’s for Jeff Henig, an American travel photographer based in Japan, who specializes in shooting cultural and religious festivals across Asia. You can check it out at www.jeffhenig.com.
The challenge
When Jeff first contacted me, he had a blog in one location, a Flash-based portfolio online somewhere else, and a Photoshelter site for his stock archive. He was doing a good job keeping them all up to date, but each had a different look and feel, and navigating between them was confusing for visitors.
New site launched for Alan Ross Photography
Friday, August 07, 2009
I’ve just launched a new site for Santa Fe-based landscape photographer, master printer and teacher Alan Ross.
Alan was looking for a site to showcase his great work, his workshops and his tech-related blog. He explains, “ I had very little ability to make updates and changes to my old site, and besides needing a new look, I desperately needed a site that I could manage almost entirely by myself, with no working knowledge of code and HTML, and no special, expensive software.”
Enter Wordpress and Photoshelter. We chose the Crisp Photoshelter theme as the basis for the design, but tweaked a number of elements to create the templates that would work across both the text (Wordpress-driven) and image-heavy (Photoshelter-driven) parts of the site.
Photoshelter showcase my photography site
Friday, March 06, 2009
Photoshelter - the online photo archiving, display and selling site have chosen my Clearing the Vision photography site as one of their examples of customization.
It’s in the Marketing/Promo category on their examples page.
I adapted one of their templates and integrated it with Wordpress to make it easy to update the photo and text sides of the site, while giving it all a consistent look and feel (more details on how I did it in my blog post on Clearing the Vision).
Photoshelter has 40,000 photographers using the service, and they chose around 25 sites as examples, so it’s quite an honour.
New site for Santa Fe Partners in Education
Thursday, March 05, 2009
I’m happy to announce the launch of one of our most recent sites - for the non-profit Partners in Education Foundation for the Santa Fe Public Schools.
The site, like most we work on, is a custom design built on top of the Wordpress content management system. This means Partners in Education get exactly the look and feel they want, but they can also update pages and add news stories themselves.

End of Year Report
Wednesday, December 31, 2008
It’s been another successful and enjoyable year here at Moore Consulting Towers, and there’s just time for a quick round-up of what we’ve been up to this year.
New sites
It was great to build the new site for the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market. A really nice group of people, a fantastic event with really good long-term effects around the world.
Other new work included the site for law firm Harwood Consulting, and for creativity speakers and consultants Robert and Rebecca Bluestone (this in conjunction with Linda Johnson at Swell Design). Linda and I also worked together on the site for photographer Chris Felver.
Another notable new site was for the City of Santa Fe Economic Development team, where we worked with long-time collaborator Frank O’Mahony of NVNG, Inc.
Beware - falling pixels
Thursday, July 17, 2008
I’m rolling out some minor site adjustments to mark Moore Consulting’s transition from sole proprietorship to Limited Liability Company (LLC) status.
So watch for falling pixels and other strangeness. Thanks.
Annual Manual Success
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
The Santa Fe Reporter publishes a large glossy Annual Manual around this time of year - giving locals and visitors lots of useful information and insight into Santa Fe.
And this year, they used 2 of my photos in the publication.
They (very cleverly) organized a photo contest asking for shots of real life in Santa Fe, and chose the best ones to illustrate the Manual.
The runners up (like me) get exposure, and the one top winner gets that and a nice prize, too.
Three site and a vacation
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
May already? I wanted to cover for how quiet it’s been recently on this site by explaining some of what I’ve been up to.
Planning and building sites, mainly. And then taking a much-needed but not actually that restful trip to Ireland and Italy. I’ll post on each of the new sites in more detail soon, but here’s the concise version of the site launches.
Santa Fe International Folk Art Market
What it says on the tin. Artists’ profiles, lots of information and great photos for the biggest Folk Art Market in the US.
