Welcome to McDonald Web Works

My name is Joel McDonald, and I’ve been helping others achieve their goals online for almost 20 years. Here at McDonald Web Works, we believe in making the web work for you. Whether you need a website to increase sales in your business, inform the world about a cause you’re passionate about, grow the membership of your organization, or win your next election, we can help you achieve your goals. We will work with you to define your goals, identify your audience, understand your workflow, and create a website that is a valuable asset in your success.

Gutenberg Plugin

With Gutenberg, is there a future for page builders?

The real question is whether Gutenberg will better serve both usersĀ andĀ developers than page builders currently do. If so, great, I love sticking to native functionality. If not, we’ll continue to have diverse methods of accomplishing page layouts. That diversity isn’t in itself bad, but it would be nice if we could all be on the same page with Gutenberg (see what I did there?). For now, I remain cautiously pessimistic.

2017 Equality Breakfast of LGBT Democrats of Virginia

Focusing on Equality, Pride, and Unity at the 2017 Equality Breakfast

As Vice-Chair of Technology and Communications of LGBT Democrats of Virginia, the lead up to the Equality Breakfast adds a little stress to the usual routine. However, it was all worth it as the event came together and we had a room full of people celebrating and advancing equality, pride, and unity at this year’s event. Through Comit Strategies, I was proud to be a sponsor of the event.

Hello Again, Colorado Springs

Hard to believe it’s been almost 11 years since coming back to Virginia after being in Colorado Springs and Kansas for two years. The beauty of the area was always something I could rely on to inspire me. Going back, the beauty was one again amazingly breathtaking. There’s a part of me that really feels like I belong in the mountains. Check out some photos from Garden of the Gods and Old Colorado City.
