Allison Skinner Web Design and Development

Allison Skinner runs a tech-forward web design and development studio out of Athens, Georgia, building sites for businesses across Athens and Atlanta as well as independent retailers and institutions further afield. The work centers on custom web design, development and ongoing maintenance, aimed at helping clients launch an idea, sell a product or grow an existing business online.

Platform choice shifts with the project: Shopify handles ecommerce builds like WARECO's modern interior showroom, Aloka Home's quilts and pillows, and Kate Furman's fine jewelry line, while WordPress supports publication and events sites such as UGA's Performing Arts Center calendar and artist site Philip Juras. Larger institutional builds run on Drupal, including Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia and independent bookstore sites for Book People in Texas and Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix.

The client list spans niche retail and cultural organizations: R HUGHES's interior showroom on WordPress, The Natural Inquirer's children's education publication tied to the Forest Service, The Southern C's membership app for its female business community, The Ripped Bodice romance bookstore, The Georgia Review journal ecommerce site for the University of Georgia, and a therapy practice site for Seyi Amosu. Each project pairs a specific platform to a specific business need, from independent bookstore inventory to university event calendars.
