New Work: Garden Supply Company
Cary, N.C. – I’ve always been a gardener. Twice a year, I troop to the garden store to pick up flats of flowers, containers of shrubs, mulch, fertilizer and the odd tool. That’s why it was such a great pleasure to produce a new website for Garden Supply Company.
It’s another WordPress project, with lots of nice photography and even a video. Audrey Pettit contributed to the content.
Thanks to Deborah and Keith Ramsey and all the folks at GSC for letting us get our hands dirty on the new site.

Cary, NC – After passing the one year anniversary of CaryCitizen, the editors all sat down together (a somewhat rare occurrence) to map out a strategy for Year 2.
Year 1 had been very good – 4% growth a week, 900 stories published, the establishment of our own ad space, 50,000 reads in September 2010. For Year 2, we decided to focus on making CaryCitizen sustainable. In a word, profitable.
That’s the theme of Hyperlocal 2.0 – making it a business.
