I have been recognized for my web development and graphic design work on projects ranging from corporate identity, commercial websites, government websites, and online publications. I also have my name as an inventor on patents for Autodesk for UI development. My unique blend of strong graphic design skills and solid technical experience make me a well rounded and extremely capable developer. My passions in life reflect my passion in work, as well as in my positive relationships with my clients.
Before work begins on a website I develop a project plan with the client to ensure that we have a solid business model and publishing foundation on which to build our rich web experience. Key to this foundation is providing an easy to use and easy to manage Content Management System (CMS) tailored to your project and your needs. A powerful publishing platform empowers you to quickly create and push content and is the first step towards a much more engaging, interactive, and rich web experience, for you and for your audience.
I take great care in the underlying HTML markup and CSS. The benefits are great, but the most important part is that the easier it is for search engines to read your site, the easier it is to start getting organic traffic. Clean markup also allows us to easily provide different communication channels for your audience to engage you and your business, such as via mobile devices, RSS, and the social web.
I am a strong proponent of organic search engine optimization. I believe that what you say and how you say is far stronger than any tricks and schemes to get top search engine placement. My techniques have proven to be successful for several projects and have resulted in remarkable traffic increases and increased sales.
As a vital part of your business your website needs to work for you. The Internet is a powerful tool to connect to your existing customer base and as a way to engage and attract new customers, its a way to educate the world about your business and products, about your mission and goals, its a way to bring your company into the forefront of intelligent, savvy, and influential individuals.
The internet has become a very busy and very loud place. That sound you hear are people communicating, and communicating a lot. Blogging has become a very powerful and easy way to communicate with your customers and as a sales tool to demonstrate your expertise to potential customers.
Providing alternative formats for your content allows people to engage you and your business anywhere from blogs, to Twitter, to their mobile devices, and pushing content via RSS.
Managing all of your different social networking accounts can be a daunting and painful task. By integrating the different social web tools into your website you can focus on publishing information and running your business.
The web is a very interactive environment and it makes sense to be a part of it. Blogging, social networking, they all bring you one step closer to your customers and makes you more accessible. That could be all the difference between you and your competition.
Many times the solution to a problem cannot be solved with an off the shelf product. From creating the project specification, to planning and managing resources, to development and deployment of your custom web application, I have the technical ability and resources to see your project turn into reality. I am a highly effective application developer with extensive experience in PHP programming, MySQL design, tuning, and administration, accessible web design, javascript and AJAX, as well as the management of Linux production and staging server environments. I have experience with all aspects of application development from space planning, project specs, client relationships, prototyping, deployment, and management.
Your brand is important, and maintaining a consistent identity across all of your business extensions is one of the keys to solidifying that brand. My design work has been recognized from both print and web from several award groups. Aside from web design I also develop corporate identity, logos, branding, and print collateral. If you need brochures, letterhead, business cards, banners, fliers, or any other print material I can develop the stunning designs that will help your company stand out.
