craigdaniels.me
https://craigdaniels.me/
A personal home base built around a long-form cancer journal, a forthcoming book (9 Lives & Counting),
and a working archive of treatment notes, lab trends, surgeon rankings, nutrition guides, and writing.
The site doubles as a transparent record for the family, friends, and patients who follow along, and as the
publishing surface for new blog posts. Built for clarity over polish — long content, easy navigation, and a
subscribe-by-email loop. Updated continuously through active treatment.

Cubicle Boycott
https://cubicleboycott.craigdaniels.me/
A preserved travelogue from a 363-day, two-backpack trip through 23 countries in 2005–2006, with 245
journal entries, gear lists, budgets, and book logs. Originally written before the word "blog" was
mainstream, the archive has been re-platformed and re-typeset for modern readers without losing its
period voice. It's a time capsule of pre-smartphone travel — train timetables, hostel notebooks, and
the occasional border-crossing misadventure. A reference for anyone planning a long trip.

Kindness Within Counseling
https://kindnesswithin.com/
A quiet, considered practice site for Becky Bethards, LCSW — a Wheat Ridge, Colorado trauma therapist
working with IFS, EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and KAP. The design leans into stillness: warm
earth-tones, generous whitespace, and serif typography that reads more like a letter than a brochure.
The goal was to reflect the slow, careful tone of the work itself and lower the barrier for someone
considering therapy. Information architecture is intentionally short — about, offerings, contact.
04 / Marketplace

Cascais Cooks
https://cooks.cascaisconnect.com/
A small-batch home-cooks marketplace for Cascais, Estoril, Carcavelos and Parede — neighbours selling
kimchi, pickles, pizza kits, and weekly meals direct to other neighbours. Customers browse cooks,
schedule a pickup window, and pay direct; cooks log into a lightweight admin. The product solves a
real local gap: home cooks with surplus or specialty food and no easy way to reach buyers nearby.
Built to stay simple and trust-forward rather than scale to a generic delivery app.

Cascais Connect
https://cascaisconnect.com/
A searchable knowledge base of local questions and answers for the international community living in and
around Cascais — restaurants, day trips, healthcare, where to buy kimchi or spring onions, how to apply
for an EHIC card. Questions come from real residents; answers are sourced from the community and edited
for accuracy. The site replaces the hundredth time a newcomer asks the same thing in an expat Facebook
group and turns scattered local know-how into something durable and indexable. Backed by WordPress for
easy moderation and editorial throughput.
