Web Development

A website that creates revenue and notability is not created solely with shiny graphics. Even more important is a logical information flow, solid semantic code, clean layout, upgradable code, degradable code and accessibility.

I write accessible, standards compliant XHTML and CSS by hand to ensure that my code is clean, crisp and makes search engines (and my clients) happy.

Web Design

Like the frontman for a band, the design may not create a loyal following, but it will get people in the door. I create unique layouts, graphics and user interactions to construct a pleasant experience for visitors.

The design of a site can create an entire atmosphere around a brand, name, or product. I work closely with my clients to ensure that my design truly represents them.

Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of making a site and its content highly relevant for both search engines and searchers.

SEO includes technical tasks to make it easier for search engines to find and index a site for the appropriate keywords, as well as marketing-focused tasks to make a site more appealing to users. Successful search marketing helps a site gain top positioning for relevant words and phrases which means getting your site on people's screens!

Content Managed Solutions

For many companies a static website is no longer enough. They need the ability to continually change information, add new content and interact with their visitors. I use a very user friendly Content Management System CMS that allows my clients (even the not so technical ones) to update their own site. For clients that need to podcast, handle image galleries, or upload videos a content managed solution is invaluable.

Social Media Integration

Still a relatively new addition to the web development front, social media integration has quickly become a necessity for business' and organizations. Using services such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and others have become a very powerful tool for connecting with your client or fan base (active and future) and learning what they are talking about, what they like and what they are looking for.

Email Newsletters

Custom HTML email templates can quickly move your newsletter or email campaign into a professional realm. When people receive an email in HTML form with a complete layout they are more likely to trust the sender.

I can create custom templates to match your current site or to match a specific campaign. I can also provide services such as sending, custom signup forms, unsubscribe forms, email tracking, conversion rates and more.

Instead of blindly sending out an email and hoping it works, you can see not only how many recipients actually viewed the email, but also if they followed any links within the email. This allows you to target your audience and tweak your content to make your campaigns more successful.

E-Commerce

A shopping cart system can transform any website into a revenue stream.

Whether you're selling an mp3, a line of clothing, or roof trusses I can implement an e-commerce solution to get your business into the online market.

Blog Design

So you've got something to tell the world. And a blog is your soapbox & megaphone of choice. But you need to make it easy to read, quick to find information and styled to be appealing.

This is where I come in. I can style your blog to match your content and audience while arranging the information in a way that makes your blog a pleasure to read.

Wordpress Customization

AWordpress began as a simple blogging engine for users to speak to the world. Over it's life, the team at Automatic have slowly turned Wordpress into a fully Content Management System (CMS). Wordpress now can be used for very large websites, user based websites and even e-commerce websites.

As a huge Wordpress fan, I work very closely with the Wordpress system. I can create a custom theme, implement a new template, or install and integrate Wordpress with your existing site or work on your existing blog.

Print Design

If you are putting your name out, whether for business or personal reasons, studies have shown that the content is not all that matters. You have to make people want to pick up your print. Whether by texture, color, or designs you need to reach up and grab their attention! I work hard to create high quality designs that represent my client.
