Active and archived sites that Bill Sargent of Website Usability by Design has created or worked on:

Galveston County Elections Information: This site is undergoing a redesign. However, in the meantime it was used in the May 14th local elections to provide critical information to the voters of Galveston County and on election night the press and Galveston voters were able to get real time vote count information.	The Galveston County Republican Party asked us to redesign their site for the November 2010 election, highlighting the local candidates and providing voter information and resources to the residents of the County. (Please see the note in the yellow box below)	WesternRustic.com - This site was launched in 2009 and redesigned in 2010 when new lines of stock were added. It belongs to Manvel Mattress Furniture Gallery located in Manvel, Texas
	On January 24, 2011, the owner of Website Usability by Design was asked to serve as the Chief Deputy Clerk for Elections, Office of the County Clerk, Galveston County, TX. Although after doing the redesign of the Galveston County Republican Party Website, Mr. Sargent was only responsible for the posting of information on the GOP site (e.g., techical aspects) and not responisble for the content of the material being posted; his continuing to maintain the County GOP site could be viewed by some as a conflict of interest. Consequently, during February and March 2011 Website Usability by Design transitioned the site to the control of others.
MaryJeanSargent.com: A Website launched in late 2011 was used to announce the publication of Mary Jean's Book "Murder by Defenestration." It will be available early in 2012		ExodusXV.Com or ExoduxXV.Org: This is a placeholder for a Christian Gospel singing family. More to come in the futurue.
