Wrapped up a website for the Perry County Chamber of Commerce several months ago and just tweaked it a little more to add some additional movement to the front page. They have a huge selection of audio files of Perry County natives telling stories about many of the historic structures found in Perry County. I’ve included the audio files along with maps and gps coordinates to each site. Makes me want to head to Perry County! (For those who don’t know, Perry County is in Southwest Alabama just a bit over an hour from Birmingham. The largest city–and home to some excellent antique shopping–is Marion, Alabama.)
Work
East Alabama Project
Great trip to East Alabama a couple of weeks ago. Part of a project I’m working on with the University of Alabama’s Center for Economic Development. We’re developing a tourism plan for a five county region in East Alabama. This was taken near Sylacauga at the Kymulga Mill and covered bridge. Wish I could have made it back for the Grits Festival! Only in the South!
Invitation to the Garden Art Party and More
Have been working on a number of projects over the last couple of months. From East Alabama Tourism, several web projects with my friends at DavisDenny and a new website for the Perry County Chamber of Commerce to a newsletter and an invitation to the Garden Art Party for Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama (my favorite charity event of the year AND a great place to get some awesome deals on art), I’ve been busy, busy….
The Perry County website has some fun mapping features and audio. Visit it to learn about the many tourist attractions–loads of historical homes, two historic colleges, black heritage and so much more–complete with pictures, area natives providing an oral history and GPS coordinates so you can actually visit the sites (over 50 sites!).
Alzheimers of Central Alabama’s Garden Art Party
One of my favorite events each year! Lots of fun, great art, great food and great folks! Just got done putting the “Save the Date” card together and dropping it to the printer.
Recent Trip to Fairhope, Alabama
I have been working on a statewide birding project for the past couple of months and we happened to schedule a meeting at the Five Rivers Resource Center on February 18. Lucky for us, it turned out to be the nicest weekend in months! Ann and I went down Thursday and stayed until Sunday. The meeting was a success, and we had a great time! Stayed at the Grand Hotel outside Fairhope and enjoyed several meals in Fairhope, along with a meal along the Causeway.
Here’s an early morning shot from the pier at the Grand Hotel. The fog was beautiful!
A Website for Artist Brad Morton (and more)
Both of these still need some work, but I’m pretty pleased overall with each of them.
www.bradmorton.com Ann and I have admired Brad’s sculptures for years. Really cool metalwork!
The other site is for the University of Alabama Center for Economic Development. It has lots more room to grow, but they needed a framework to grow with.
