Web Design
At Essex Media Group, I led the design and development efforts for 8 websites, elevating the online visibility of the company's wide-ranging publications. Notable among these are Itemlive.com, along with 01940 Magazine, 01907 Magazine, 01945 Magazine, North Shore Golf Magazine, and Marblehead Weekly News. I am currently working on the Peabody Weekly News and Lynnfield Weekly News websites.
Itemlive.com
itemlive.com is a platform for local news and sports on the North Shore, receiving around 30,000 daily impressions. I redesigned the website to improve its user-friendliness, navigation, and visual appeal, particularly catering to its older audience demographic.
Marblehead Weekly News
This is the first and current iteration of the Marblehead Weekly News website. I designed this site to provide the residents of Marblehead with easy access and readability to their local news and sports.
EMG Magazine Sites
When designing the websites for EMG’s Magazine sites—01940, 01907, 01945, and North Shore Golf—I ensured they seamlessly reflected their vibrant communities. With around 30,000 combined readers, these magazines are integral to people's lives, covering everything from local happenings to personal stories.
My goal was to evoke the connection and excitement readers experience when flipping through our print editions but on our online platforms. I wanted our readers to feel at home as if they were still holding the magazine while browsing our sites.
