Hello. We're Shira and Ari Evergreen, creative treehuggers
in search of utopia. We live and work in Ithaca, New York.

A new site for a new sustainable toy company

Posted on April 3, 2013 by ari

We made this new WordPress for the very talented Ithaca-local Lily Silly, who’s having a Puppet Art show on Friday, April 5, First Friday, at Bloom. Lily will be showing her brand new puppets, all made from reclaimed materials and found objects at her off-grid homestead. The event is from 5-8pm and there may be a short puppet show.

This site’s custom Twenty Twelve child theme was a challenge because it incorporates a very busy background (made from photographs of some of Lily’s favorite fabric, and one of her puppets, and some shoelaces, and some photographic textures) with transparency and a mobile-friendly layout. Thanks to Lily for her patience while we got it all plugged together!

Tompkins Time Traders: A new site for a new time banking network

Posted on March 30, 2013 by ari

Shira and I have been working with a local time banking effort for quite a while now, which is just about to enter an active recruitment phase. Here’s a simple little WordPress I put together for them, using the free Pytheas theme by WPExplorer. It serves as a portal to time banking software developed by hOurWorld.

We did this work (and are making a video) in exchange for time in the bank! You can join the bank to start logging your own time, which can be cashed in for services from other members – anything from dogwalking to permaculture consultation to, well, web design.

Some new web work

Posted on March 13, 2013 by ari

Here’s a new Tumblr I set up for Tompkins County Workers Center, to go with the site we made for them.

And here’s a new site for Rabbi Sid Schwarz, which I helped him to finish and launch. I didn’t do the design work except for the slideshow — my work was mostly in integrating third party services, enhancing the site with plugins, and handling the launch and mailing list setup.

Please check out their work — these folks are awesome!

Where has all the blogging gone?

We’re blogging elsewhere and haven’t been updating this one much! Here’s where to find the action:

• Sustainability: Empowered: Power from the People

• Economic justice and sharing culture: Share Tompkins

Help a village in Cameroon with a click

Posted on February 19, 2013 by ari

Okay, I’m kind of lying when I say “just a click.” Really it would be awesome if you could donate money! Even $5 would be a real help. But if you don’t have $5, please, at least forward this link. Let me tell you why! Read the rest of this post…
