My first site launched when I was just a high school student. It was an online care guide for reptiles. During its final years, it was a Google top-ranking site using popular search criteria.
I've since made educational sites for kids, online stores, more online guides, and even a Blink-182 fansite once acknlowedged by the band.
Now, over a decade later, I continue by making websites for clients like you. For me, it's not just a job. It's also an ongoing hobby and passion.
I use strict, valid XHTML and CSS, along with javascript, jQuery, and PHP to write cross-browser, SEO-friendly code. I admire standards, usability, and anything open-source. I test in IE7-9, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.
I have experience with FTP, Putty, SSH-SS, .htaccess, cPanel, MySQL, and PhpMyAdmin. I can even help with getting a host, setting up material you already have, tweaking graphics, etc. For medium to large projects, I use the Content Management Systems Drupal and Wordpress.
With fun and functional technologies at my disposal, I'll do my best to give you the features that you need.
I take on the dual role of developer and designer. In addition to coding, which is my primary specialty, I've also stepped up to design.
From clean and minimalistic, to grungy and quirky, I'm willing to expand my design skills and try just about anything. I strive to teach myself, and my goal is to improve my knowledge of user-oriented interface design.
My experience with designing and coding Drupal layouts is improving everyday, and I'm also very interested in mastering Wordpress themes.
Aside from traditional websites, XHTML and CSS are extremely useful for creating custom Facebook landing pages. They're an effective way to brand yourself on Facebook, and to professionally greet visitors to your Facebook Page(s). And now, with Facebook Timelines, you can add a custom banner image to the top of your profile to show the world who you are.
I also make custom background graphics for Twitter and Youtube channels. A custom, quality background can make either a more enjoyable experience for visitors and customers.
Need something else? Myspace marquee? Ebay homepage? Etsy banner? I can definitely help you with those, too!
I had an interest in pencil illustration in my youth. While that was replaced mainly with science and computers as I aged, I've found that digital graphic design allows me to tap into that interest once again.
Feel free to ask about anything else!
My traditional business hours are 9am to 5pm, Eastern Standard Time, Mon-Fri.
