My Sites
Links to some of the work that I have done
Oldtimer & Lily
The customer had a store on safeshopper.com and they sent a notice that they
were closing.
They need a secure shopping cart quickly that they could maintain
themselves.
We also added a blog and an email newsletter management program.
Jim is responsible and responsive, honest and open, patient, and an incredible value for the money. He is especially adept technically, as well as being well versed in the technicalities of security issues on sites that gather personal information. My employer brought Jim in to clean up a real mess made by the previous web designer we had hired, and he was able to get us back on track and functional in far less time than we thought possible.
It was because of my regard for Jim in the way he handled my employer's businesses that I hired him to help me with my personal website. I, too, was in a situation where I needed a "fix" quickly, because the provider of my existing site and cart closed the doors on short notice. Though there are still minor corrections and enhancements to make on the Oldtimer & Lily site, I was up and running with a new site in plenty of time, with no impact to my business. I truly could not have done that without Jim.
Jim is easy to work with, takes any quirky ideas I might have and makes them functional, and has really helped me on the road to growing my personal business. He is always advising me that it is *my* business, and does everything he can to make that comfortable for me.

This site owner wanted pages added with some in a password protected area where his clients could log in and get private information. He was quoted for many hours of work and testing for a convaluted PHP solution and the pages in that section didn't even match the rest of the site. I provided him a basic htaccess solution that was simple, secure and worked right away without testing (although we did test it). In addition I removed tables, cleaned up the code, added a nice background, added hover effects for the buttons and made all of the pages match, including the private ones.
Without any question I recommend Jim as a webmaster. He's quick, creative, a workaholic and just a darn nice guy. I was in a position with my site where I needed to start over, but Jim was able to "revamp" instead of "replace" my site which saved me money and time. Jim was referred to me by one of his customers and I am glad I went with him. He's a winner! Give him a shot.
Chamber Musicians
This site was originally done by the owner in Rapid Weaver and was very plain. Many of the pages looked different and the code was cluttered and bulky. I gave the site a consistant look and feel, added a background, removed the tables and cleaned up the code. I also added a blog that matched the rest of the site.
"...After creating my web site several years ago, I have tried to find someone who was knowledgeable to help me work with it and keep it updated. I went through several companies and a few individual web designers who looked very promising and supposedly were eager to help me. However, it was not until I found Jim's web site that it finally started to become clear what it takes to have a site of your own. He was able to not only run my web site on a technical level and redesign a lot of things on it, but also to explain to me a lot of details about my site and what had to be done in order to attract clients of my own to it. Even with my limited computer background Jim was able to put things in a way that was understood by me, without getting caught up too much in "techno- computer" terminology, which is what scared me away from other web designers. He keeps it all simple, clear and to the point without making it all confusing. The longer Jim has been working on my site - the more traffic I started getting to it, which is great for my business!..."

Also provides support for career professionals and executives, as well as, outplacement support.
This site owner saw my work with Talk'n Tables and also wanted pages added in a password protected area where his clients could log in and get private information, except he wanted four different sections with four different password lists. He was also given large quotes by others. The same basic htaccess solution worked simply, easily and effectively with four different password lists. In addition, I removed tables and changed his navigation from a flash animation to plain text, HTML and CSS. That made his menu look very similar, but is much more effective for the search engines.
As my business grew and changed, I developed products targeted for
business to business rather than the retail focus predominant in my initial
website design. I needed to refocus my website to be more business professional.
I also needed the added capability for my clients to have password access
to information from my website. My original web designer’s change proposal
included third party technical support in designing a password data base
plus a couple of months testing and no guarantee that it would work to
specification. I wanted no part of that arrangement.
Still searching for an alternative, I was introduced to Jim Lillicotch of
Lillicotch.com. Jim’s proposal was straight forward and effective. We
first moved the website to a more user friendly web hosting and he directed
me in ensuring that my website was registered and managed under my ownership.
These were important items in the administration of your website that were
foreign to me with my first web designer. He quickly designed and tested
the web access data base and it is operating to specification today.
The website is still a work in progress but Jim’s accessibility and
flexibility allows me to keep my website on-line while making the changes
necessary to target my new customer base. The total conversion has been
reasonably prices as well.
Thanks, Jim

Performing polkas, international folk, classical, rock, pop and jazz. Al's been recording and producing music projects for more than forty-four years and music marketing / merchandising has been a great interest of mine for the last thirty-five years. Sing, whistle or hum a song every day..... you'll be a happier person.
Al's site was several sites merged into one. I gave them all a common theme, cleaned up the navigation and then taught Al to maintain the site himself.
Jim Lillicotch is "da Man". In nine years I had five webmasters and was a slave to the webmaster for updates. After Jim redesigned my site, I totally maintain and update my site by myself. On two occasions I needed help - Jim responed and the problem was solved within 24 hours. He goes out of his way to give you what you want & need. I highly recommend Lillicotch to individuals, small businesses, large businesses, local, state & federal governments, other countries, etc......... Al Meixner

Mark wanted a way to integrate his ERA listings into his own site without having to update them on both sites separately.
"Jim has been great to work with, not only did he save me a lot of money over the so called “professional” site I previously had but continues to save me money. His knowledge of what would work in my business was refreshing. Jim is always easy to contact and work through changes and crazy ideas I might have at a moments notice. It is a pleasure and I look forward to a long lasting business relationship."

Jim's Maze
A game that I made.
I began by writing these mazes on graph paper 30 years ago. Several years ago I moved the pages to a web (HTML) design. With just a few animated GIFs and several hundred web pages I wrote this game. The layout is very simple, but the mazes are very challenging.
