A former colleague opened a fabulous gift boutique in Cahaba Heights, Alabama, called A Little Something. She asked me to help her with her Facebook page and web site. After setting up the page, I visited the store to take pictures of the store interiors for the Facebook page and her web site. I still do occasional posts for her, but she is maintaining the page and conversations.
Client first fruit enterprises wanted a unique email announcement for their 2012 Holiday Open House. This email was created and sent via an open source email publishing platform.
Client, Redo By Ridgely, came to me for help with a Facebook page for her unique ponytail holders. She had no experience with Facebook and does not even have a personal page there. But after I set it up for her and walked her through the process, she is now posting like a professional.
Eric is a unique individual — a mix of singer, songwriter, and information technology professional. He wanted a site that would feature his music and creativity up front and profile his professional life in the background. Kind of like a reverse mullet. The challenge was to create a web site for him that showed both sides without being too much in either camp artistically.
His music is Americana, his lyrics are tongue-in-cheek, and his life accomplished. His site, built on a WordPress backbone so that he could edit and add content, is clean, classic, and serves his dual personalities.

The non-profit Hospice of Marshall County requested graphics for two upcoming fundraisers. Graphics were created to help promote their “Race to Remember” and “Lights of Love” events. These were for mixed use in all their promotional and event materials.
“Gayle at Rustixs Interactive has generously donated her time and skill set to improve several local nonprofits. Not only is she charitable, she is incredibly talented, understanding and kind. She delivered multiple design ideas with a much quicker turnaround time than anyone I’ve ever known in the design world! She provided several options for our organization (Hospice of Marshall County) and managed all of our expectations efficiently through email alone!
I was impressed by how quickly Gayle grasped and displayed a strong understanding of our organization and our needs. She captured the elements and design we were looking for with little to no direction from us! Gayle was quick, knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and professional. Rustixs Interactive has helped us raise the profile of our events with excellent designs. I would highly recommend Rustixs Interactive to anyone.” — Annah Grace Morgan, Hospice of Marshall County, August 2012
This site was constructed on a WordPress backbone for a Birmingham, AL catering company owned by successful restauranteur George Sarris of The Fish Market. The focus was to translate their print menu into a web site that would showcase menu items, engage visitors, and take advantage of SEO and search engine traffic. Features of the site include an image gallery, slideshow, contact form, Google analytics integration, location-based information, social sharing, and email signup widget. This work was performed in conjunction with Reliable Ad Group.
Simple two page HTML site for reluctant author and tarantula fan Carolyn Swagerle. She wanted a very simple site to promote her book “The Legacy of Annie Rose” and receive email feedback from readers or other interested visitors.
It’s beautiful! A perfect design! And you’re right. It’s what I wanted. Thank you so much for your help! Carolyn Swagerle
Client requested help to move their HTML site from YP.com to an independent hosting service. This involved communication with ATT to move the domain registration to the new host and editing all pages to remove proprietary code and make the pages function on the new platform. I added a lightbox gallery/slideshow of the clients work and an email contact form.
The law firm of Webster, Henry, Lyons, White, Bradwell & Black wanted a logo for their firm. I was pleased to provide them with several mock ups before they chose this bold and stylish treatment. Work was performed in conjunction with Reliable Ad Group.
