Who This Is For

Musicians & Artists

You need a site, video, content, archive, store, or launch asset that actually reflects who you are.

Filmmakers & Creative Professionals

You need a clean online presence, sharp positioning, and someone who understands story, taste, and execution.

Small Business Owners With Digital Problems

You have broken tech, scattered tools, outdated content, or a website that no longer represents you.

People Who Don't Know What They Need Yet

You know something is off. I can help you figure out what it is, what matters, and what to fix first.

About

Who You're Actually Hiring.

I'm Scott James — digital creative director, problem-solver, and the person you call when the usual suspects come up short. I work with musicians, artists, filmmakers, creative professionals, and small businesses that need someone who gets the vision and knows how to execute it.

Most projects end up split between a web person, a designer, a video editor, a copywriter, and someone who understands the tech. I connect those pieces so the work feels intentional instead of patched together.

The thread through all of it is simple: understand what matters, untangle the mess, and get the digital work done with taste, speed, and care.

Capabilities

One Person. The Full Picture.

Real projects where strategy, structure, content, and execution had to work together.

Website

Kenny Lee Lewis

A full site for the Steve Miller Band guitarist.

Problem

Kenny needed one place to pull together music, shows, lessons, media, photos, and store activity without making fans hunt across disconnected platforms.

What I Handled

WordPress build, content organization, music and tour presentation, lesson/store structure, and visual cleanup.

Why It Matters

The site gives fans, students, and industry visitors a clearer path into the different sides of Kenny’s work.

George Hurrell

A gallery, archive, blog, and store for a Hollywood photography estate.

Problem

The work needed to feel premium and historically important while still giving visitors a practical way to browse images, read stories, and buy prints.

What I Handled

Site structure, visual presentation, WordPress build, gallery organization, blog/store integration, and usability polish.

Why It Matters

The site helps the estate present the archive with more clarity, authority, and commercial usefulness.

Vaja

A site for a cinematic electronic rock artist in Los Angeles.

Problem

The music, the video work, the press coverage, the masterclass, and the sponsor relationships all needed to live in one place instead of being scattered across streaming platforms and social accounts.

Why It Matters

Releases, press, discography, and booking now sit behind one front door, with the current single leading the page.

Past Present Feature

A publishing platform for filmmaker Marcus Mizelle's film podcast and festival.

Problem

A growing library of filmmaker interviews needed to become a navigable editorial archive instead of a pile of podcast posts, with a real path from listener to subscriber.

What I Handled

Site design and build, editorial and archive structure, newsletter capture with Constant Contact integration, SEO content, Search Console setup, festival page and metadata, and directing the link-building work.

Why It Matters

The platform now has a structure that supports a growing interview archive, the festival, newsletter signups, and sponsorship.

RI Detector Inspector

Smoke and carbon monoxide certification for Rhode Island real estate closings.

Problem

Justin's business runs on realtors who need a certificate before a closing date. The old site had no button on the homepage, no clickable phone number anywhere, and no way to contact him except a nav link. A visitor with a deadline had to go looking for the way to reach him.

What I Handled

Full rebuild on a custom theme. Restructured the homepage around a single action, made the phone number tappable in seven places including a sticky bar that follows you down the page, added a four-step "How It Works" section so the process is obvious before anyone calls, built a proper contact form with the fields Justin actually needs, moved pricing onto its own page, and kept his existing realtor video testimonials. Cut the site from 28 stylesheets and 24 scripts down to 4 and 13.

Why It Matters

Every part of the page now points at one thing, getting Justin on the phone before the closing date.

Jeff Silbar

A digital home for a Grammy-winning songwriter.

Problem

Jeff needed a polished place to present his music, legacy, stories, visuals, and creative identity without feeling like a generic musician template.

What I Handled

Website structure, design direction, WordPress build, archive organization, visual presentation, and launch polish.

Why It Matters

The site gives visitors a clear way to understand Jeff's career, explore his work, and experience the depth of his catalog in one place.

Process

How It Works

A simple way to turn the vague thing in your head into the right next move.

01

Tell me what you're trying to build.

Send the site, idea, problem, mess, or goal. You do not need to have it perfectly organized yet.

02

I figure out what matters.

I look at the strategy, design, content, technology, and user experience so we can separate the real problem from the noise.

03

We build, fix, or launch it.

Depending on what you need, I can create the plan, handle the execution, or stay involved as your ongoing digital right hand.
