Rita Lewis

Potomac, MD

Content Editor (online)Web DesignerSocial Media

Designing web sites is a passion. As a computer expert, I've given lectures, taught classes, written books, and conducted research, but nothing satisfies my curiosity for technology, arts, and electronic media like web design. Taking a simple concept and turning it into a quality marketing device is my singular goal, and I relish each step in that process. I am expert in using both PHP-based Open Source content management systems, such as Joomla/Mambo, WordPress, OSCommerce, or HTML to build store fronts, brochure-type, and blog sites for non-profit and small-business clients.

Tessa White

Los Angeles, CA

CopywriterWriterAccount manager

My goal is to work with words in any capacity, if it be editing, proofing, reshaping, inventing, or deleting. Online or off, I love lifestyle writing – from culture to retail. I can freestyle and riff or I can stay structured and detailed. I’ve freelanced with websites to promote their product and brand through word choice, both precise and creative. I’ve built online newsletters, blogged, and written short stories. I’ve also spent five years working as a product manager for two major ecommerce sites, and learned the intricacies of building a product with a team of designers, developers, sales and clients. I work well with a team but I’m also autonomous; both are necessary for a well-rounded foundation. Over the past two years I focused my efforts on founding and running The Writing Club, a creative writing program for elementary students in San Francisco. I wrote the curriculum, built the lesson plans, and taught more than fifty students over two years.

As a freelance writer for more than 20 years, I've covered everything from family travel to business startups for a variety of regional and national magazines, newspapers, and websites. I know the right questions to ask to craft a story that’s interesting, lively, insightful, and well written.
