Case Study! 🚀

Hoge Auctioneering came to us with a challenge: their website was outdated and hard to navigate, making it tough for both their staff to update and their customers to find auction information. They needed a modern site with a better user experience.

We met with their team and focused on what their users wanted most—to see auction items with as few clicks as possible. We designed a clean, modern website where upcoming auctions are front and center on the homepage. Each auction has a featured image and a direct link to a gallery of items.

The result? A custom-designed website that gets users right to the inventory they're looking for. The new site is both visually appealing and easy for the Hoge Auctioneering team to update on their own. https://hogeauctioneering.com/

New Case Study Alert! 🚀

The European Organisation for Caries Research (ORCA) needed a new website with a complex membership portal. Inspired by the site we built for their sister organization, American Academy of Cariology; they came to us with a challenge: their existing Drupal site was hard for their team to update, and members had trouble logging in and accessing key information.

We created a custom, dual-faceted WordPress website with a public-facing section and a private, members-only lounge. The public site showcases the benefits of membership, while the members-only section provides exclusive access to webinars, publications, and more.

The best part? ORCA's staff can easily add and edit content on both sides of the site, giving them full control and independence. https://www.orca-caries-research.org/

Is your organization's website holding you back? Let's build a solution that works for you!

Check out our latest case study! 🚀

Concrete Polyfix came to us with a challenge: their website was outdated, hard to navigate, and users were getting lost. They needed a new site with a simpler layout and a smarter marketing funnel.
We got to work, reorganizing their content and creating separate marketing funnels for their two main customer groups: residential and commercial. Now, whether you need services for your home or your business, you can easily find exactly what you're looking for.

The result? A brand-new custom website that guides each visitor directly to the information they need, making it easy to learn about services and get in touch with the Concrete Polyfix team. https://concretepolyfix.com/

Kordansky Gallery Opening, LA 7.15.25

It was a great honor to attend the opening reception for An American Beauty: Grateful Dead 1965–1995, an exhibition of photographs commemorating 60 years of the band, curated by rock photographer Jay Blakesberg and his daughter, Ricki Blakesberg. One of my prints from the legendary RFK 6.10.73 concert was in the show.

From the moment I entered the gallery, I was treated with great respect! At the Panel discussion, attended by ~350 people, Jay asked me to discuss my beginnings in photography and photographing at the shows in the early 70’s. Here is that video.

What is PPC Advertising? | How Targeted Ads Bring Customers to Your Business

What is PPC advertising? It’s one of the most efficient ways to connect with potential customers who are actively seeking what your services. PPC (pay-per-click) allows your business to place ads in search engine results, on websites, and across social platforms—paying only when someone clicks. This makes it a precise, cost-effective marketing tool.

For small and medium-sized businesses, PPC offers a way to reach a target audience that might never walk into your store or discover your services otherwise. Instead of broadcasting your message to everyone, you focus on people most likely to convert.

Vortex Digital Business Solutions designs and manages PPC campaigns that increase brand awareness, improve click-through-rate, and deliver measurable returns. With us, your ads reach the right people at the right time.

Celebrating a decade of dedication! For 10 inspiring years, we've had the honor of volunteering our time and expertise to Table to Table, designing, developing, hosting and maintaining their website and recently completing a second, full redesign.

Table to Table bridges the gap between abundance and hunger. Their mission is to increase food equity and reduce environmental harm by collecting and redistributing surplus food through partners to people who can use it.

Through food recovery and redistribution, T2T helps thousands of our Johnson County neighbors annually. This year, they distributed 2.3 million pounds of food, three fifths of which was highly-sought after produce, protein, and dairy. This year marks 30+ million pounds of food rescued since 1996.
It's been a privilege to support an organization that does so much good in our community, rescuing food and nourishing lives. Here's to many more years of making a difference together! ❤️

The Role of a Website in Modern Business

In today’s fast-moving digital world, one question still lingers in the minds of many entrepreneurs and small business owners: Do I need a website for my business? With the popularity of social media platforms and online directories, some may wonder whether a website is a necessary investment or just another business expense. The answer? It depends on your goals—but for most small businesses, having a website is one of the most important tools you can have.

We will explore the role of a website in modern business, the advantages of having one, the possible downsides, and how it fits with your overall digital strategy. A website serves as the digital home base for your business. It’s the only place online where you have full control over your brand, your message, and how you interact with customers.

One of my prints from the legendary RFK 6.10.73 concert was in the show.

From the moment I entered the gallery, I was treated with great dignity and respect. Pamela and I were ushered into the ‘green room’ where I was able to catch up with the famed photographer and former Dead manager, Ron Rakow.
At the Panel discussion, attended by ~350 people, Jay asked me to discuss my beginnings in photography and photographing at the shows in the early 70’s. After the talk, I was given a seat to sign copies of the show’s coffee table book.

Next, I was introduced to gallery owner David Kordansky and the CEO of Rhino records, Mark Pinkus… then group photos! A very memorable evening!
