Every project below is described by what it did for the client, not by what was in the invoice. Where a site is still running years later, that's noted — I aim to provide a solution you're happy with in the long term.
800+
members, each self-editing their profile
New Hampshire Made
A statewide buy-local nonprofit needed every one of its 800 members findable on a map, editable by the members themselves, and paying dues online — inside a site of more than a thousand pages.
1,000+
products and variations migrated intact
TMS Diesel
A truck repair shop was stuck on a Magento store that was expensive to host, slow to load, and too complicated for anyone there to update. They needed hundreds of parts online without needing a developer on call.
100+
pages moved into a CMS staff could edit
Blue Heron
A Grammy-winning early music ensemble had built a deep archive of concerts, performers, and programme notes — every page written by hand. Any change meant finding someone who could edit HTML.

SyteCheck
The tools that audit a website properly are priced for enterprises and shaped for marketers, and the free one is a developer utility. SyteCheck is the product I built to close that gap — and the clearest evidence of what I can build on my own.
Long-running maintenance relationships and deliberately small builds. Even small projects can yield great results.
400
percent faster page loads
Sudbury Savoyards
The Sudbury Savoyards, a community theater group focused on the rich Gilbert & Sullivan musical tradition, was experiencing performance issues with their WordPress site. Ascent pinpointed the issue and put a solution in place which helped block unwanted bot traffic, speeding up their website. They also needed help moving some content around and making some more advanced edits, which Ascent easily handled.

complaints since the migration
St. Christopher's Episcopal Church
St. Christopher's needed to call a lifeline for trickier updates to their WordPress website, and a move to a new web host. And they wanted better-quality email and collaboration. I helped them migrate several email accounts, a shared calendar, and files to Google Workspace, providing training and support.
10 yrs
of continuous maintenance and content care
Night Song
A small nonprofit needed a site it never had to think about — and, eventually, needed to leave it for a platform it could run alone. Both are the job.
1 call
for the website, the integrations, and the IT
Fortitude Health & Training
A thriving gym needed someone who would handle the website, the social integrations, and whatever else stopped working that week — without an agency contract or a help desk ticket.
0
support calls needed since launch
Convivium Musicum
Not every project should be big. A volunteer-run choir needed a simple site it could maintain itself, and that is exactly what it got.
Tell me what you're working with — an aging site, a new idea, or a problem you can't figure out. The first call is free and I'll be straight with you about fit.
