Introduction to Web Design
Key Design Principles and How to Implement Them!
June 14, 2024 • April 2, 2024
Anne taught this class
Anne is a coach for the current Inspire Girls Coding Boot Camp project, sponsored by World Computer Exchange. Anne will be teaching this web design class to several participant groups in Zambia.
* * * * * *
Web design is the visual styling and layout of a website. It requires a good understanding of color, type, alignment, and harmony. With pleasing aesthetics, organized navigation, and sensible UX, visitors are more likely to stay on the site and view multiple pages.
We’ll have a hands-on workshop practicing the key principles of design and implementing them. Design is more than colors and fonts: it begins with establishing client goals, formulating a strategy to achieve those goals, and creating a strong design concept to support the strategy. Brainstorming and sketching out ideas is part of this fun process, so bring paper and pen or tablet to get started!
Once you’ve got the design figured out, you use HTML and CSS to build the site. As time allows, we’ll explore how to: add contrast, use continuity, align items, group elements together, improve hierarchy, and ensure good readability.
Gather your questions and bring them to our class!
Building My First WordPress Block Theme
May 20, 2024 • 6:30–9:30 PM EST
Anne presented this topic at the Boston WordPress Meetup
Anne was an early adopter of the Gutenberg block-based editor. Using blocks to edit and create content is a breeze for her now. A couple of months ago, she dove into designing and developing her first WordPress block theme. She didn’t anticipate that building block themes would have such a steep learning curve. There are growing pains. In this presentation, Anne will share the major steps in her journey, highlighting the biggest pain points.
For those who are new to using the Site Editor and for experienced designers/developers wanting to compare notes, everyone will get great take-aways from the evening!

Shadows, clarity, and details fluidly transform and take on different attributes. Each artist offers their unique perspectives of the seasons of light and welcome your interpretations!
The Old Schwamb Mill is an historic building that housed a working mill for over a hundred years. It continues to house a fine art framing business. Multiple generations of tools and machines remain intact.
The Old Schwamb Mill exists as a complex of three buildings (Main Mill Building, the Dryhouse, and the Barn), which utilized water power and steam power more than 100 years ago to manufacture finely crafted natural wood and gilded frames during America’s “Gilded Age.” The Mill is rare as a vernacular architectural survivor, as well as for a collection of preserved and historically significant workplaces and rooms which have maintained continuous industrial operations since 1864.”

Where Art and Language Come Together
May 25, 2022 • 7-9pm
Presentation at Belmont Art Association meeting
Artist Anne Katzeff and writer Peggy Kornegger talk about how the natural world inspires each of them to create—and how these two creative expressions can enhance each other. They will give examples from their new book Inside the Rainbow—Soul Connection in Nature.
The natural world is timeless, filled with color and light, silence and sound. It is the place where spirit lives and where you can experience a connection to your soul at the deepest level. Whether you are drawn to flowers or trees, birds or whales, stars or sunsets, this book is an open door to that connection. There is a powerful loving energy waiting to touch your heart “inside the rainbow” that is Nature. Peggy Kornegger provides both personal life stories and individual practices to help you discover your own magical soul connection to Earth’s wonders.
— Peggy Kornegger
On the same evening, photographer Helen Morse will talk about her newly published book, The Difficult Girl – A Memoir. Helen will discuss language as a medium and medium as a language, both which attempt to close the divide between personal experience and those of others. She will include examples of her portrait work from the book and the messages they convey.

#100DayProject
June 17, 2021
Anne shared her Instagram project with the Belmont Art Association
Anne Katzeff and Jessica Parsons Lomeli will share the “agony and the ecstasy” of embarking on their respective “100 Sketches in 100 Days” and “30 Paintings in 30 Days” challenges!
Anne will present her experience working on the #100DayProject, a free, global, Instagram challenge to create something every day for 100 days. Always looking for ways to expand and improve her art skills, about a year ago, Anne took a Nature Journaling class at Naples Botanical Garden. It stretched her far beyond her comfort zone into the world of watercolor. Anne and her life partner recently moved back to Belmont after a few years in Florida – a return that reawakened her appreciation of the seasons here. She chose “seasonal inspirations” as her theme and set aside some time at the end of each workday to do a sketch that took perhaps an hour. Anne will discuss her ongoing learning experiences and share some of her work.

Introduction to WordPress
Sept. 14 • March 16, 2021
Anne taught this class, hosted by Girl Develop IT (GDI).
Welcome to the Wonderful World of WordPress!
Have you ever wondered what all of the hype is about WordPress?
You’re not alone. The hype is well-deserved. What started out in 2003 as a blogging platform has evolved into a full-fledged Content Management System (CMS). WordPress is currently the most prominent CMS in the world! WordPress is a free, open source software application that you can use to build websites and blogs with little or minimal knowledge of web coding.
In this class, we will compare WordPress.org with WordPress.com and review the key features of shared and managed hosting plans. We’ll learn about installing WordPress and configuring its basic settings, choosing and installing a theme, adding new pages and posts, creating nav menus, working with widgets, installing plugins, creating child themes, and customizing themes.
Gather your questions and bring them to class!
Prerequisites and Preparation:
- a laptop with a web browser (*Chrome preferred, but see note below about Safari.)
- a sense of humor 😉
- a WordPress site – one of the following options would be good:
- a live WordPress.org site on your own webhost or a live WordPress.com account
- a local WordPress installation with Local by Flywheel (free) – https://local.getflywheel.com/
We will not be able to assist individuals during classtime in installing a live WordPress site on their own webhost. There are too many variations in webhost configurations! If you experience any difficulties installing WordPress on your webhost, contact Anne for assistance a few days before class, or use WordPress.com or Flywheel for this class.
Front-End Fundamentals I:
Learning Cohort (6 Class Series)
Begins April 20, 2021
Anne taught this class, hosted by Girl Develop IT (GDI)
The front end of a website is the part that users interact with. Everything that you see when navigating on the web, from fonts and colors, layout and media, to drop-down menus and sliders, is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this beginner-friendly course, you’ll cover the basics of HTML and CSS to begin building and editing web pages.
Details are on the GDI site: Front-End Fundamentals

Search Engine Optimization for Content Creators
January 16, 2020 • 6pm
Learn about some good habits for your day-to-day blogging and content creation tasks!
WPSWFL co-organizer, Anne Katzeff, will facilitate a discussion about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), an ongoing process of preparing your website content for discovery by the web’s search engines. Better preparation equals better optimization. Getting your site to rank in the search lists is not a simple task, nor will it happen overnight. With longevity, continuity, and quality, your site will at least have a semblance of hope in appearing in the top ranking tiers.

Incorporating Social Media with Your Website
August 6, 2019 • 6pm
Integrating social media into your website is an important way to widen your reach, deepen engagement with your audience, and build brand recognition. It’s a form of digital marketing that can be fun and fulfilling. When used with intelligent strategies, social media contributes to increased support, sales and donations.
The evening will begin with Anne sharing her thoughts about the value and promise of story, and the importance of authenticity. Goals need to be identified at the beginning of any project. Underpinning those goals is the need to find our “voice” and stay true to who we are in the digital barrage of distractions.
Anne’s presentation will then focus on the actual tools you can use to achieve your goals with integrity and genuineness. Some of the questions we’ll tackle:
• What are the usual suspects (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc)?
• Are there other devices and applications available?
• How do you use them?
• Should you put them on your website?
• Do you install anything on your computer?
Please join us! Bring your good humor and your story!
