INTRODUCING: Timberhood Consulting, LLC

SDOC's latest launch is a classic story that could only be Dunwoody.  Two local businesses who make waves on a large scale also work together locally.  Dunwoody has a growing number of local entrepreneurs.  25% of all business licenses are issued to home-based businesses and many of those have a national or  international reach.   These entrepreneurs are regular fixtures in the community too.   It was great to work with Bryan after attending Mass and school carpools for years.

Timberhood Consulting LLC provides engineering design and consulting all around Atlanta.  If you have spent any time downtown, especially around Georgia State or Georgia Tech, you've seen their work.

Bryan's previous site was all in Adobe Flash(R).  It was the state of the art several years ago but today it was impossible to keep updated and invisible on mobile devices.  Bryan's site needed to match his logo and branding, and be easy to update by posting articles related to each area of expertise.

The result is this WordPress based website with an array of slideshows.  The front page is an assortment of images.  Each specialty page contains a slideshow of a brief article and image related to current projects.  Best of all, new content can be added to any of these slideshows through a single interface making it fast and easy to add the latest news.  

The slideshows are also connected to Twitter:  they are automatically posted to that social network when a new article is published.

And - as always:  the site is responsive and is just as readable on your smartphone as on a large screen.

INTRODUCING: Commissioner Nancy Jester | www.nancyjester.com

www.nancyjester.com

Nancy won her runoff election in December and that's when the work really began.  After building and running the campaign website, Nancy asked me to stay on build her Commissioner's site as well.

After the usual discussions, examining samples, listing content needs, I was assigned to design the interface, then hand it off to the technical staff (Hi Stan!) to make final edits and implement the content.

This is not a stereotypical open source CMS site like WordPress.  This interface was custom-built, line by line and item by item to unique specifications.  AND - as always, all of the elements have to be responsive.

I'll be around for tech support where it's needed but Nancy's staff is going to handle it from here.  Thanks so much to the campaign and to the Commissioner's staff for allowing me a place in this project.

Dunwoody Water Main and Street Rebuilding Begins TODAY

...and may God have mercy on our souls.

From the City of Dunwoody website:

These crucial infrastructure improvements present the city with an opportunity to make much needed road surface and pedestrian improvements along the Mount Vernon Road corridor. Subsequent to the installation of the new water main, the city will resurface this entire section of Mount Vernon Road and also construct new sidewalks on the south side of Mount Vernon Road between Dunwoody Village Parkway and Vernon Oaks Drive.

In an effort to streamline the sequencing of these improvements, the City of Dunwoody will coordinate with the county and the contractor to perform these tasks.

Initial project construction will begin the week of March 16, 2015 and work is expected to be complete within seven to nine months.
