A delicious project! A brand-new business with no pre-existing website, Dairy Hill had secured some really charming branding and design assets so we used those to build the site. Since visuals involving ice cream, cake, and other related sweets are integral to the site, each page features an optional hero image with optional overlay box containing… Continue reading Dairy Hill Ice Cream

Lisa Onstad
Lisa’s old website was beautiful online home for her artwork, designed several years ago by our colleague Julia Stoops. But eventually, Lisa found that her own creative output had outgrown the website. She needed a new site design and portfolio architecture that would be able to grow with her, in whatever direction her work takes. The… Continue reading Lisa Onstad
Cadillac Meter
Central Station Steam Company has been manufacturing the Cadillac® Meter since 1906. In 2015, we gave the company’s website a facelift, and did some significant content and navigation restructuring to eliminate redundancy and confusion. We think the result is a much more readable and engaging site – and that can be challenging to achieve with… Continue reading Cadillac Meter
Alberta Cooperative Grocery
We collaborated with the folks at Alberta Co-op to create a new site, with much more flexibility than their previous site, and better presentation of recipes, a new product search page (user can enter a text string or a SKU number), and some fun design elements that fit with a new branding package they’re working toward… Continue reading Alberta Cooperative Grocery
Tessa Brinckman
Way back in 2003 or so, Tessa and I played together in the Astoria Festival Orchestra – it was my very first real orchestra gig and I had a great time playing 2nd flute while Tessa played principal in our little classical period orchestra. We played Mozart’s 25th symphony (I think?) and various other pieces.… Continue reading Tessa Brinckman
My Voice Music
We have watched and supported the incredible team at My Voice Music as they have grown from a spark of an idea for helping marginilized youth to a full scale non-profit music center where students of all ages and backgrounds can gain access to music education regardless of background or financial abilities. As the organization grew,… Continue reading My Voice Music
Wildhorse Foundation
The philanthropic arm of the Wildhorse Resort and Casino, run by the Umatilla Tribe in Pendleton, Oregon, was once only represented by a single page hidden deep within the Casino website. Ready to make their mark on the world just a little bit bigger, the Foundation felt it was time to have their own… Continue reading Wildhorse Foundation
Bill Kreutzmann
When legendary Grateful Dead drummer, Bill Kreutzmann, came to us for a new website we were thrilled to oblige. His old site was outdated and the functionality was wonky. Working with designer Justin Helton of Status Serigraph we achieved both a beautiful aesthetic that playfully reminds the user of Mr. Kruetzmann’s psychedelic roots, while creating… Continue reading Bill Kreutzmann
Owens, Sneller, Pinzelik, Wood & Schaff, P.C.
This was a really fun project and a great group of folks to work with. Their old site was tired and dated, and really expensive to maintain, so we gave them an overhaul in WordPress with a bold and unusual color scheme, a modern feel, and a site that they can easily maintain themselves.… Continue reading Owens, Sneller, Pinzelik, Wood & Schaff, P.C.
The People’s Yoga – redesign for 2015
The new year brought a brand-new site for TPY, designed by the brilliant Joanna Papaleo, who we worked with a few years back when she designed their original site, which we also built. This new site is fresh, modern, responsive, and filled with gorgeous photos of the lovely folks in the PY community. We’re stoked! Go check… Continue reading The People’s Yoga – redesign for 2015

These tireless clowns are relentless in their ongoing pursuit to bring psychosocial relief to people all over the world whose lives are challenged in one way or another. It has been a great… Continue reading Clowns Without Borders USA
Bennett Hartman Morris & Kaplan
We had a great time working with the very fun bunch of folks at Bennett Hartman. We did an overhaul of their site using WordPress, which included a refreshed and modernized design that is still relevant to their existing logo, site structure/IA improvements, better navigation, and copy writing for a more consistent voice that, in… Continue reading Bennett Hartman Morris & Kaplan
Elders in Action
Yet another great non-profit organization that was really fun to find out about while we worked on the project! They do great work. This was a collaboration with Julia of Blue Mouse Monkey, who handled visual design and IA. When they came to us, EIA had a bit of a mess – their site was… Continue reading Elders in Action
Institute for Exceptional Growth Companies
Another one of Julia’s very satisfying designs, IEGC’s site is actually just static HTML – no content management system. It felt like a real “retro” experience for me to hand-write all 5 or 6 pages of the site and I really quite enjoyed it, believe it or not! One thing that’s really fun for all… Continue reading Institute for Exceptional Growth Companies
Gray Family Foundation
This was an amazing project, a beautiful site designed by Julia of Blue Mouse Monkey, which makes for a very rewarding development project. This involved several custom post types, a custom plugin, some really cool widgets, a searchable directory of past grants, a board members’ only area, and some very satisfying automation and re-use of… Continue reading Gray Family Foundation
Council For Advancing Diabetes Care
CADC’s site, as of this posting, is still not live due to circumstances beyond our control. So we can only show you a screenshot. Design by the most talented Julia Stoops of Blue Mouse Monkey. Development by Collage Creative.
Oregon First
Visual design and IA by Julia Stoops of Blue Mouse Monkey. We handled project management and development. The challenge was to bring together Julia’s beautiful design vision and the technical limitations of a predetermined software solution, chosen by Oregon First, to handle the integration of RMLS data. Site features multiple property search functions, a searchable… Continue reading Oregon First
