Hi, thanks for dropping by!

I’m a WordPress Web Developer who helps nonprofit marketing managers to build custom sites and more than double their email subscriber rates.

I’m taking on a limited number of new clients at this time.

Please use this form to contact me, and I’ll get back to you as soon as feasible.

Case Studies

With my help, you can get results like these:

Child Care Works

+800% increase in email signups

Child Care Works: CCW website homepage

Child Care Works, “CCW”, is an advocacy campaign that works to make quality child care affordable for working families.

We planned and built their new campaign website within one month, integrated with advocacy and donation software, so the team could start seeing results within weeks of hiring me.

Since then, I’ve helped CCW:

  • Get an +800% increase in email signups on the homepage, with 100% statistical significance, if you’re into that sort of thing.
  • Swap in new advocacy and donor management software, with no disruption.

ITDP

Doubled email list growth
(nearly) doubled website visits
Ranked #1 on Google

ITDP: The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy website homepage

The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, “ITDP”, designs and implements transport systems and policies that make cities more livable, equitable, and sustainable.

I redeveloped and relaunched their website with improvements that got these results:

  • We more than doubled the number of new email subscribers that signed up each month: 230% of the original signup rate
  • We nearly doubled the number of visitors each month: 192% of the original number of monthly visitors
  • #1 in Google’s search engine results pages (“SERPS”) for several keywords: “BRT”, “BRT Standard”, “BRT Guide”, “BRT Planning Guide”, “TOD Standard”, and “ITDP”

Community Foundation

Set up monthly giving
Recovered credit card fees

The Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties helps people set up charitable funds that help the local community and beyond, without all the work of setting up a full nonprofit.

I helped the Community Foundation update their WooCommerce-powered website so they could collect recurring donations online, and we added a website improvement that helped recover hundreds of dollars in credit card fees.

MEDA

New advocacy website
Digital skills training

MEDA: Marylanders for Energy Democracy and Affordability website homepage

Marylanders for Energy Democracy and Affordability (“MEDA”) is an advocacy campaign that fights to achieve clean, affordable energy in Maryland.

We planned and launched their new website, integrated with advocacy and donation tools, which the team uses to reach and engage supporters.

The website uses a “click and type” website builder for WordPress, so staff can simply click and start typing on a page, to add content quickly and easily.

We provided hands-on training for a few of the more advanced features, and provided short training videos for reference.
