"Empowering Travelers to Change the World."

That's the credo of Bay Area-based Ethical Traveler. Just before Christmas we retired the original, hand-rolled PHP site (which I built in 2003) and upgraded it in every way: visual design, architecture, Web 2.0 fixins, and a WordPress core to facilitate the publication of news stories and other reports.

For instance, you can view this year's list of the most ethical destinations in the developing world. Whether you're a traveler or a tourist, ET is a great resource for spending your travel dollars wisely.

REBRAND recognizes CPP redesign

MetaDesign won a REBRAND 100® Notable award for 2010 for the redesign of the CPP, Inc. corporate site. It was a privilege to be a part of the team. Go Meta!

Home again, + various updates

Despite leaving MetaDesign late last year, I continue to enjoy a fruitful relationship with them. For the best recent example, see the front-end development I did for Meta's engagement with CPP.

Nevertheless, it's back to the home office. Other recent work includes some dev for the upcoming launch of SmartAdhesives; a portfolio site for local creative marketing star Cathy Campbell; and building/project-managing the long-awaited (for me, anyway) redesign of EthicalTraveler.org.

Special thanks to Gregg and Dave for development assistance.
