Real problems, practical fixes

A working transparency demo for local government, plus four in-house tools that run my own media business. Each one started the way a client project would. Client case studies will be added as projects are completed and clients agree to be shown.

Civic Hub

Problem: Cities publish every agenda, vote and budget, but it's buried in PDFs built for staff. Taxpayers can't see where their money goes or how decisions get made, so rumor fills the gap.
Build: A transparency hub that works in any browser or as an app on residents' phones and tablets: the budget in plain English with a tax calculator, every meeting sorted by topic, project timelines with who's paying, a map of what's being built, and alerts when a followed project is on the agenda, plus direct links to the city's existing services like bill pay, service requests and job listings. Residents can choose their home screen, including a large-text Easy View. Every fact links to the official record.
Result: A working demo built on a fictional town, ready to adapt for a city, county or community organization.

For your organization: show taxpayers how their city works, from one trusted place, and spend less staff time answering the same questions.

In-house · Workflow

Project Pipeline

Problem: Projects with many steps were tracked across notes, files and memory, so it was hard to see what was stuck or what came next.
Build: A shared pipeline board with stages, a step-by-step checklist for each project, a clear next action and a flag on anything that stalls.
Result: I run my own video production on it: every project has a status and a next step in one place, and nothing sits forgotten.

For your business: track jobs, quotes, service calls or a sales pipeline the same way, adapted to your own stages and steps.

In-house · Analytics

The Scoreboard

Problem: Channel performance was spread across different screens and reports, which made trends, like how many viewers stay past the intro, hard to see.
Build: An analytics scoreboard that pulls the important numbers into one view and charts them over time.
Result: Decisions about what to make next are based on numbers instead of guesses.

For your business: a weekly scorecard of sales, jobs, quotes or margins, without digging through reports.

In-house · Testing

Packaging Lab

Problem: Titles and thumbnails were being decided at the last minute, on gut feel.
Build: A workspace that drafts titles from proven structures, checks each one against what the video actually delivers, and scores title and thumbnail packages.
Result: Packaging is tested before a video goes live instead of decided on gut feel.

For your business: a purpose-built tool for the one task your team repeats every week.

In-house · Website

Not Dead Yet Media

Problem: The channel needed a home base beyond YouTube to explain what it offers people over 50.
Build: A website designed, built and hosted in-house, with its own domain.
Result: The site is live, with a free starter kit that collects email sign-ups, and it's updated in-house as the channel grows.

For your business: a clean, fast website you can actually keep current. Visit ndy-media.com →
