My web design activities revolve around the use of open source database-driven content management systems such as Textpattern and PmWiki. I have an abiding interest in providing a low-cost, accessible web presence for small businesses, individuals and community organizations.

This site runs on PmWiki. Wiki software enables you to easily set up, create and modify a group of linked pages. It’s also a very good tool for a group of people collaborating on a project that requires a lot of writing. PmWiki is a wonderfully easy to manage, extensible wiki that is really a powerful website management system.

Here are sites I’ve put together for various people:

Buffalo ReUse - a wiki website for a startup not-for-profit business that will deconstruct buildings in the City of Buffalo, a creative alternative to demolition.

Urban Roots - a cooperative community garden center, owned by its members. This is a Textpattern site.

Art on Porches - also a Textpattern site, this serves as the web presence for a small neighborhood arts festival.

Atelier Piras - a commercial website for Sebastiana Piras’s clothing design business, located in Buffalo at 425 Elmwood Avenue. This is a PmWiki site, a good showcase for the software’s flexibility.

Wikis at Buffalo State College - this is a group of wikis used for classes and for a collaborative book-writing effort. TolkiWiki - Folklore Wiki - Educational Foundations 688 - wikwik.com (more wikis).
