A 3-column, mobile-responsive WordPress website, complete with responsive professional photo galleries.

Scott did an outstanding job on Moore Ink.’s new website, delivering a stellar site and helping our decidedly non-techie staff learn how to easily and seamlessly maintain it. Scott makes the technical world of websites manageable and – dare I say it? – even enjoyable. The result is a website that not only looks great on day one, but stays looking great once it’s in the hands of technical rookies. Professionalism, patience and an eye toward perfection – those are Scott’s hallmarks. I will not hesitate to return to him whenever my company or a client needs his expertise.

Building WordPress Websites.

Sometimes building websites can also build community. Like building a home, developing a website requires a plan and the right tools. For Imagine Housing’s new website, the right tool was WordPress. Why? Because WordPress is built within the open source community.

Imagine an open source software community with the promise of better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.
Where organizations seeking to manage their own websites can learn the skills they need to communicate online.
Where website visitors don’t have to download Flash or proprietary software to view online content.
Where nonprofits don’t have to spend a fortune on technology.
Just imagine…WordPress.

Working with Scott on the development of our new website was an absolute pleasure. It was a daunting process that we had put off for more than a few years, and his confident and patient approach took away any anxiety we had about the project. The result is a beautiful, well-planned site that we feel very proud of. Truly Scott becomes more than a consultant, he becomes part of your team. Thanks Scott!

My latest WordPress website for Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County.

This new HTML5 website replaces a slow-loading, template-based site that staff had trouble updating. The new WordPress site includes a built-in e-commerce section for donations, a consistent look for club chapters, and an online event manager – as well as improved on-page search optimization and better accessibility.

Great websites start here.

I love teaching organizations and individuals how to use WordPress as a Content Management System. From navigating through information architecture to search engine optimization, I enjoy developing effective, scalable web sites.

Cushy CMS to WordPress Conversion

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Scott Marlow

My latest WordPress convert is a former Cushy CMS client. Jennifer Mitchell wanted a website that she could edit herself. Although Cushy CMS makes it easy to edit existing site content – it’s not a robust Content Management System like WordPress.

Now, Jennifer can add posts about her upcoming teacher training, retreats and other yoga events.

Unravel your unwieldy static HTML site or CMS – treat yourself to WordPress.

Our latest Drupal-to-WordPress site conversion for NEWS (Network for Excellence in Washington Schools).

Our old website was old, tired and difficult to maintain. Scott’s technical expertise has given us a site that is not only easy to navigate but a snap to update and change through the WordPress platform. Scott’s work was on time and on budget. He went above and beyond to ensure that our new website functioned exactly how and when we needed it.

Just in time for 2013 New Year’s resolutions: a new 4,400 sq. ft. West Seattle CrossFit gym. Hang on to your kettle balls – you’re about to lose that holiday poundage!

Scott was fantastic. His stellar communication, from site concept to content management training helped us launch a site that we are not only thrilled with but also understand how to use. He kept our team on task and worked within our budget. We look forward to working with him in the future as our business and online needs grow. An easy recommendation for any small business who wants to take their online presence to the next level!

Rolling trail maintenance at Moran State Park

You know your brand is successful when supporters sport your apparel. Descending from Mt. Constitution, Jen and I cleared the last 5″ limb my Sawvivor could handle. Our final day at Moran State Park helping Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance (formerly the Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club) with some fall trail maintenance.
