Ready Sites: Ready Sites Portfolio and Business Site

This is my own personal portfolio and business website. I needed a central hub where potential clients could learn about my services and contact me about new projects, and where current clients could collaborate with me on ongoing work. I designed and built the site to serve both purposes: attracting new business and supporting existing clients.

The site needed to feel professional and polished while being easy for clients to navigate. I wanted the design to reflect my work quality and make it simple for people to understand what I offer and how to get started. I handle all updates and maintenance myself. 

Key Features:
→ Portfolio link showcasing recent projects
→ Dynamic service pages 
→ Dedicated FAQs 
→ Contact form
→ Calendly integration for easy appointment booking
→ Standalone payment form for client billing
→ Kitchen.co integration giving clients access to the design portal
→ Mobile-responsive, brand-aligned design
→ Basic SEO

The result is a working portfolio that generates leads and streamlines communication with my clients.

City of Longville : City of Longville Municipal Website

What started as a simple request to update one page turned into a complete city website rebuild. The site was years out of date, and their previous web administrator had moved away and was ready to retire. I offered to help and ended up overhauling the entire site.

I moved everything over to WiX Studio and built a new responsive, accessible design from scratch. The site needed to work for multiple city departments, so I set up the database and organized the content to serve them all.

I built custom features using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, including form systems and a file library for public documents. I handled all the content work (writing, editing, image optimization, SEO) and set up the domain, hosting, and SSL. I also created documentation and training materials so city staff could manage it on their own, and I provide ongoing support as needed. 

Key Features:
→ News feed that pulls Longville-specific articles from the local newspaper (Pine Cone Press-Citizen), including city announcements and public hearings
→ Event calendar for meetings and community events
→ Weather widget on the airport page
→ Contact forms 
→ Standalone code request system for the athletic equipment shed
→ Search functionality across the whole site
→ Separate subdomain for the Municipay utility payment system

Now the City of Longville has a modern, easy-to-use website that serves residents and visitors while meeting the complex needs of a small city government.

Longville Parks & Rec: Parks & Recreation Info Hub (City of Longville)

The City's parks and recreation committee only meets once a month from April through October, which made it hard to stay organized and get things done between meetings. They needed a website that could serve two groups: park visitors looking for information, and committee members trying to coordinate their work.

I built them a dual-purpose site with a public side for visitors and a private member area for the committee. I handled the full build: database setup, responsive design, accessibility features, custom coding (JavaScript, HTML, CSS), domain setup, and hosting. 

Public Side:
→ Schedules for pickleball, tennis, and ice rink hours
→ Photo gallery
→ FAQ and volunteer sign-ups
→ Donation form (integrated with GiveButter)
→ Event calendar

Member Portal:
→ Project tracker to monitor ongoing initiatives
→ Voting system so members can make decisions between meetings
→ Message board for discussions
→ Contact directory
→ File sharing for documents and the committee rulebook
→ Private chat

Now park visitors can easily find what they need, and the committee stays productive year-round instead of losing momentum between monthly meetings.

Forte Creative: Forte Creative Landing Page

Forte Creative is a new local sign shop specializing in custom signs for schools, churches, and other small businesses. As an early-stage startup, they needed to establish a web presence in their service area quickly and affordably, with room to grow into a full e-commerce site later.

I designed and developed a clean, professional landing page that introduces the business and makes it easy for potential customers to get in touch. Working with their existing logo, I created a complementary color palette for their brand.

I created documentation so they understand how to login, navigate their dashboard, and use the site. I'm providing ongoing maintenance as their business evolves. The design is built to scale, so when they're ready to add a product catalog and e-commerce functionality, the foundation is already in place.

Key Features:
→ Landing page with contact form
→ Light branding 
→ Mobile-responsive layout
→ Basic SEO setup

Forte Creative now has a professional web presence that helps them to start attracting customers while keeping costs manageable during the startup phase.
