Why it exists
To keep forecasts, radar, satellite imagery, alerts, and other useful weather information together in one place.
A closer look
I created this!
Here’s why each one exists, what I did, what I used, and how it turned out. No inflated success stories required.
Independent website • 2003–present
NCHurricane.com
I started NCHurricane.com in 2003 because I wanted one place to find the weather information I used most. More than two decades later, I’m still running it.
What I do
I designed and built it, and I still handle the content, updates, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
What’s there
Responsive pages, forecasts, severe-weather information, navigation, automated content, scheduled processes, and several outside data sources.
What I use
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, scheduled processes, FTP/SFTP, browser development tools, and website analytics.
A few numbers
During the 12-month reporting period ending August 11, 2026, the site recorded 20,309 visitors and 228,329 page impressions. Typical traffic during that period was approximately 1,400–1,600 visitors per month.
Weather app • Still in development
Real-Time Weather Dashboard
Designed as a single interface for accessing and presenting current weather information during significant weather events.
Why I built it
I wanted radar, satellite imagery, alerts, forecasts, and other live weather information in one interface instead of several open tabs.
What I handle
I’m building the interface, connecting the sources, adding features, maintaining the app, and working through the bugs.
What it does
It brings several live weather products into a multi-page app with one navigation and presentation system.
What I use
Python, FastAPI, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, live external sources, caching, and scheduled application processes.
Where it stands
It already gives me one place to review current weather information, and I’m still adding to it as I find new things I want it to do.
Client email work • Since 2024
Email Campaigns
The client supplies the information. I turn it into an email that is easy to read, easy to review, and ready to send.
Call to actionWhat it needs to do
Give readers the important information, make the next step clear, and give the client a straightforward way to review everything before it goes out.
My part
I build and edit each campaign, work through revisions, manage the list, send the approved email, and review the results.
What goes into it
Layout, edited copy, calls to action, web-ready images, list updates, link checks, tests, revisions, and the final send.
What I use
Brevo, image-editing tools, subscriber management, link checks, and the platform’s campaign reporting.
VERIFIED RESULTS
Since 2024, I’ve produced approximately 50 Brevo campaigns for LisaEvans.org. When measured, the list had nearly 300 subscribers, and campaigns sent in 2026 averaged an open rate of approximately 44%.
