Lifted from Darkness

Lifted from Darkness was created to showcase the book of a domestic violence survivor. This is the second website we developed for this author, following From Prisoner to President in 2012. We’ve also built six websites for the author’s businesses, including Synectic Technology (2005, 2008, 2012, 2020) and Killer VoIP (2011, 2013). The Lifted from Darkness site was first redeveloped in 2015, and then redesigned again in 2023 as an HTML website. In addition to development, we assisted with Facebook setup and continue to provide content updates as needed.
