Red, White & Pink Wine Events
Red, White & Pink Events is a New York-based wine events business that needed a website to show off their services. After consulting with the client to get a sense of her design preferences and the content requirements of the site, I opted to develop on WordPress so that the client can easily add a blog in the future if need be.

Alter Surety Group, Inc.
Alter Surety Group came to me with a WordPress site that had some broken plugins and design elements that they weren't happy with. They wanted a site that worked properly, looked professional and was secure. I rebuilt the site using a new theme, customized to meet their needs, and implemented some security tools to help keep their site safe and sound.

"For almost ten years now, Sarah has been my go-to for all things
marketing, from graphic design and copywriting to strategic
consultation. When it came time to build a website for my coaching
services, I knew I could trust Sarah to knock it out of the park.
One of my biggest challenges was telling my story and organizing a
great deal of content related to my coaching services, but Sarah
came up with a way to lay it out in a site that works perfectly and
looks fantastic. Most importantly, it's custom-made so it's unique
to me and my business. I look forward to many more years of working
with Sarah and Sassafras Business Services."

Berk Boys Homemade Ice Cream
Berk Boys Homemade Ice Cream was a hobby that turned into a business venture for Ryan and his mom. They started selling so much ice cream that they needed a site to share their story, flavors and ingredients. I designed the site with a fun homemade feel and created matching labels and sales collateral as well.

Empower B2B
Empower B2B needed a site for their tech conference that would allow them to easily add additional speakers, schedule details and more, as they planned the conference. I built the site with a forward-thinking approach that would make it easy for the client to make these updates on their own without breaking anything :) I also provided documentation to help them along the way.

REdeploy Conference
The folks at REdeploy contacted me to help launch their 2018 conference site under a tight deadline when they found themselves in need of a developer. I happily jumped in and got to work. This project was really a collaborative effort, and one that is continually evolving. I handle the HTML layout and CSS design of the pages, and the REdeploy team adds some PHP to dynamically generate the actual content to fill in the templates.
Services: Custom website design and development. Collaboration via GitHub.
