web sites

Below are links to web sites I have worked on.  Most of them are new sites I created from concept to launch; one is an established site I have been maintaining for several years.

In addition to designing new web sites, I offer:

domain name purchasing

• web site hosting

• site maintenance (on new or existing sites)

improving/redesigning existing sites

• basic search engine optimization and web site marketing to increase traffic to your site and make it visible to search engines.

To read more about web sites and their associated costs, go to the info page.


www.southernbbqtrail.com | Oxford MS

www.tamaletrail.com | Oxford MS

www.southernboudintrail.com | Oxford MS

www.southerngumbotrail.com | Oxford MS

A series of oral history projects about the South and its food by The Southern Foodways Alliance, Tabasco™ and Viking™. These sites feature interactive maps, audio clips and bold, distinct graphics within an overall design "template". The look means to convey classic "Greetings From..." postcards sent from the Trails.

The Mississippi Historical Society recently awarded this Tamale Trail project the 2006 award for Outstanding Oral History Project.

www.beyondbirthmidwiferycare.com | Boulder CO

Certified Nurse-Midwives who provide expert guidance during the transition from hospital to home and establish a solid foundation for successful parenting. Services are for moms, new babies and benefit the entire family. Web site is warm and inviting while at the same time very professional and comprehensive.

Intuitive Massage Therapy

www.maryandbenwedding.com | Longmont CO

It's my own wedding! Holy @*%$! The site's far from done (it will be just another simple 9-V "just the facts, ma'am" situation when complete...) but a swank looking one! And one that'll bear the good news of a fantastic reason to party! I post it unfinished because, well, I just couldn't wait...

Intuitive Massage Therapy

www.intuitivemassagetherapy.biz | Longmont CO

Massage therapist Darlene Rooney needed a small, quiet, very simple site that advertised her massage services as peaceful and grounded. The site has a simple animated baner at the top of its home page that "breathes" its message quietly – the site is very easy to navigate, clear and flowing.

KellyBallard.com

www.kellyballard.com | Lafayette CO

Kelly is a lighthearted, warm-spirited, intuitive soul dedicated to helping others expand their opportunities for personal and spiritual growth in a safe environment. Her site features the same warmth and professionalism she pours in her practice. Features: RSS Blog; Podcasts; Newsletters; Client-driven Autoresponders; E-commerce; Immediate MP3 downloads.

www.ecobydesign.net | Santa Cruz CA

Landscape designer and business owner Treesa Rogerson wanted her 50+ photograph portfolio front and center. We decided to incorporate it directly into the home page in an attractive and unique layout. The "tree" of project thumbnails opens to detailed photographs, which are organized in interactive windows for easy viewing.

www.coatesdentaldds.com | Greensboro NC

Greensboro dentist Brian Coates needed a professional, but very inviting site for his growing dental practice. The photo does his advertising for him: he sells smiles. Some basic search engine optimization and well named pages have been the key to his getting local traffic from the first week is site went live.

www.sweetdreamsandspice.com | New York NY

A raw foods company specializing nutritious treats made from organic ingredients from all over the world. Although subtle, choosing creative names for the site's pages (or links) helped create the green, earthy and viable personality they had in mind. (Site is poised for e-commerce; online sales are postponed as owners reconfigure their costs.)

www.scottavett.com | Charlotte NC

Artist Scott Avett's web site called for a clean, understated design that would effectively showcase but not upstage his paintings.  This site features a simple to use, intuitive portfolio page.

 

www.lupusadvocacy.org | Ann Arbor MI

An online information hub for Lupus advocacy, featuring an extensive resource page with related links, contanct information, surveys, news and various calls to action -- including a Lupus awareness online survey.

www.ennisart.net | Charlotte NC

This site is a portfolio-based "brochure" site advertising creative concrete and interior installation solutions by Tom Schulz.  Because Schulz is as much artist as a contractor, I wanted this site to present Schulz as enormously creative and clearly confident in a construction site.

www.zambratapas.com | Asheville NC

A site for an upscale, friendly Spanish tapas restaurant. The home page is warm and social, immediately indicative of the restaurant's vibe.  Site has a simply designed, editable home page that can be changed easily by the manager, who often needs to post updates, new menus, and party announcements.

 

www.empathinc.com | Charlotte NC

Part gallery, part interactive forum for all things "Empathinc", this site has hosted numerous artists and successfully generated PR blitzes and announcements about upcoming events to its mailing list.

www.southernfoodways.com | Oxford MS

Nationally heralded non-profit The Southern Foodways Alliance's web site is an essential communication tool. I maintain and add to its 100+ pages. Jobs include: writing copy, creating artwork, and technical assistance. All artwork and copy are successfully created within the established tone and look of the site.

EstaSweet.com | Birmingham MI

Just a few pages was all this site needed. It's an eye-catching "brochure" site for Jim Huston's Esta-Sweet onion.  The site has been built with growing room in mind and can be added to easily as Jim's needs change.

www.coburnandschulz.com | New York NY

The objective here was, again, to showcase the client's work. Clean, white and square (see portfolio page) does not get in the way of the ornate, richly textured work they advertise. Digital portfolios such as this one are exceptional marketing tools. Anyone who can connect to the internet can find you, browse unlimited projects (brochures have space limitations!) and contact you easily and immediately.

www.madarasdesign.com Ann Arbor MI

Designer/builder Douglas Madaras needed a web site and logo that described his signature style, something he has termed "spatial sculpting." His interiors are flowing, somewhat "zen" like and equally masculine and feminine in feel.  (This site is maintained by client.)

www.milestone-ins.com | Longmont CO

This insurance agency came to me with a logo, brochure and corporate identity already in place. This simple, 4-page site was created directly from my "mimicking" their company'es established identity.

Mary is a joy to work with. Her sensibility is right up our alley, and she always designs/builds fun yet practical things that fit our each and every need--and on a timely schedule!

What's more, she's become a friend. We've never met face-to-face, but our constant work-related communication has given us the opportunity to also share life's peaks and valleys and develop a friendship.

I always look
forward to our correspondence, deadline or no deadline!

Oral Historian for The Southern Foodways Alliance

Mary has been great to work with. She’s attentive, professional, and creates some stunning designs. As a web database developer myself, I outsource all my graphics needs to Mary and she comes through every time.

Alec Fehl, MCSE, A+, NT-CIP, ACE, ACI

Mary strikes the right balance between incorporating the client’s ideas and using her/their own creativity and experience to
custom-make a truly unique product.

My web site reflects what I had envisioned – but thanks to Mary's imagination and attention to detail, it is more attractive and more user-friendly than I ever expected.

Mary’s work really is tailor-made to fit the needs and the character of the client.

One look through Mary's portfolio and you see a wide array of unique designs – from traditional to modern, soft to bold, classic to a little funky. Her capabilities and talents appear to be limitless.

Katie Norman
U.S. Press Secretary

"Mary Geitner is not only a designer in the pure sense of the word, she is also a communicator. She listens and responds on a level that easily and rapidly facilitates the sometimes cumbersome web design process.

When she assisted in the training and implementation of my web presence it was almost as easy as going for ice cream.

Simply put, she does a fantastic job.
