What we do / Who we are

Creating, growing, and sustaining a total web presence requires and a lot of interwoven threads while still keeping things as simple as possible. We put it all together for you: Custom web design. Branding. Application integration, hosting, deployment, and development tailored to your needs. Open source, but not exclusively. A lot of WordPress and Joomla. Online marketing — strategy, analysis, and integration.

To learn more about us, check out our company (New Local Media) and individual pages (Dan, Sonya) on LinkedIn for more information about our work and track record. Or just contact us.

Simplicity by design…

Dan has been designing for the web since the days of the Mosaic browser. Since 2002 most of his work has centered on custom implementations of major open source web applications for content management, social network, and ecommerce platforms. Dan has consulted for large companies and startups, and he’s built websites for a wide variety of small to mid-sized businesses.

“On every project, my goal is to help people extend their ability to contribute meaningfully in their fields, markets, and communities. I don’t like to create new needs and dependencies, or systems that aren’t simple and fun to use. Through hands-on teaching and ongoing support services, I try to give clients the mix of independence and backing that’s best for them.”
