Library Website in WordPress (2016)
This is a prototype of a library website in WordPress which I enjoyed creating.

EverythingAutism.org (2014)
Everything Autism is a resource guide for the autism community in Clear Lake, created and maintained by me, but I haven’t done much with it in a few years. It has a lot of family photos and accounts of daytrips plus resources for other families with a child on the spectrum.
