XHTML and CSS CompliantTableless DesignTableless Design

Loon Run is an age-exclusive resort and beach community in the beautiful surroundings of Notched Pond in Raymond Maine.

Designed to be a true adult resort community, Loon Run is tucked away in an alluring Maine setting and brings nature to the doorstep. Residents will have everything... from a sandy beach, to acres of preservation land, to a luxurious beach club available to them.

This site is not only completely W3C XHTML and CSS standards compliant, it is also compliant to W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) highest Priority 3 standard. We think it exemplifies the idea that accessibility doesn't necessarily require any compromise in design.

Mombat -

XHTML and CSS CompliantTableless DesignTableless Design

Channeling the urge to throttle our kids into asinine pursuits . . . like blogging.

Battling back the daily kid debris that threatens to take over the home that used to be your martini den . . . and then proudly surrendering to the art projects that destroy every inch of your chic décor.

Desperately searching for indie kid music to replace the Wiggles – heard Guster’s cover of Ernie & Bert’s We Gotta Be Clean?

Mombat is a custom installation of the famous WordPress Weblog Script. A Blog for 'Mombats' to relate tales from the frontlines of modern motherhood.

 Don Roy Violins -

Don Roy custom crafts violins, violas and double basses in his workshop in Gorham Maine. His instruments follow The Italian Style in both craftsmanship and tonal quality.

The instruments are easy to play and have an elegant antiquated appearance, resembling the old instruments of the Italian masters.

Fitting with the elegance of the instruments, this warm, elegant site reflects the beauty of the Violins Don Roy makes. A showcase for the instruments and Don's skill as a musician and craftsman.

 M Minister -

XHTML and CSS CompliantTableless Design

How many designers can claim that they have been wearing their own private clothing label since childhood? We know of only one.

"m.minister", Margaret Minister O'Keefe's first initial and maiden name, was the personalized childhood clothing label that her mother had sewn into all of her favorite clothes -- the Scottish beret, her puddle boots, and those sassy Maine summer dresses.

The site was designed to convey the quality of Margarets work and to showcase the clothing in everyday settings.

 Ronnie Sellers Productions -

XHTML and CSS CompliantTableless Design

This site was originally launched in 1994 when Ronnie Sellers recognized the enormous potential of the internet to become both a distribution channel for creative content and a conduit for communications.

In 2006 we joined forces with some talented local programmers and working closely with the client came up with a new creative strategy for the visual presentation of RSVP.com

 Fiddleicious -

XHTML and CSS CompliantTableless Design

Fiddle-icious is comprised of a diverse group of enthusiastic fiddlers and other musicians of all ages and all walks of life. The group’s music features tunes passed on from our Scottish, Irish, Quebecois, and Acadian ancestors.

The primary goal of Fiddle-icious is to keep the tradition alive by sharing Maine’s musical heritage with the community.

The group wanted a home on the web to share music with group members and the visitors and to raise awareness of their activities with the public.

Using third party software we also customized a online forum for the group to use to share information amongst themselves.

 Musictoyz Network -

XHTML and CSS CompliantTableless Design

Musictoyz Network is quite simply the beston-line resource for demos of effects pedals, amplifiers and guitars for discerning musicians.

Musictoyz Network also offers exclusive content in the form of interviews with respected and admired musicians.

The challenge for the Musictoyz Network was to set up a sattelite site for guitarists and other musicians to compare equipment performance using demos provided by streaming Flash Media. Another requirement was the ability to stream interviews with high profile musicians like Joe Satriani and Scott Henderson.
