Website Design & Development:

Short Version:

I make websites. Whether you're a company or an individual who needs a website to market your business, let me help you. if you need your current website redesigned, maintained, or need creative direction/consulting, get in touch with me.

Detailed Version:

I design and develop websites not only because I love to do it, but also for the love of solving problems and finding solutions. I build web 2.0 websites that are XHTML/CSS compliant, Search Engine friendly and interactive; all with my eyes closed. For my weapons of choice, I use jQuery for usability and flair, PHP for server-side development and dynamic content, XHTML + CSS for structure / presentation and a whole array of development software to test, debug and design websites. In my opinion, the less Flash the better, legacy browsers (a.k.a. I.E. 6) means you don't deserve to view my portfolio anyways, and useful content is the best SEO.

E-Commerce:

Short Version:

Need to start selling products or services? I have experience in shopping carts and online webstores.

Detailed Version:

E-Commerce means more than just having an online webstore. I can help you put up an existence that will help you showcase your products as well as have analytic data that will help you sell. My strategy includes building a webstore that is easy to manage from the back-end, cross-browser compatible, user-friendly and secure. I utilize PCI/CISP certified software that uses SSL encryption for your online safety.

Worpress theme Customization:

Short Version:

Want to start a blog that's easy to manage? I can set-up a WordPress blog for you as well as customize the theme to reflect your business. I can also integrate social network sites to your blog to maximize viewer potential.

Detailed Version:

WordPress is a CMS system that will allow you and other admins to update your website/blog by yourself through an intuitive back-end admin section. I have experience in customizing WordPress themes either from scratch or from an existing theme. I have knowledge of what plugins and add-ons to use in order to help you reach your reader goals.

WordPress is not only for blogs though. I can help you power your entire website through it's Content Management System (CMS), so you have control of what content should be up, at your own time.

Social Networks/SEO:

Short Version:

Want to stay connected through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other Social Networking sites? I can make it easy for you and your viewers to stay connected, as well as provide good Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Detailed Version:

One of the fastest and easiest ways to get viewers to your site is through Social Networking/bookmarking sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, YouTube, Digg, Stumbleupon and more. This is a great way to get good search engine ranking and is totally FREE. I can help set these profiles up for you and your business.

Another important factor to having good SEO is doing the basics: good HTML structure, valid source code, ALT tags for images, descriptive page titles and more. This is what I do, and what every developer should be doing by default.

Consulting & Creative Direction:

Short Version:

Going in the right direction? It takes the right person to lead a project and make creative decisions. Whether you need help re-branding your business or just want advice on what to do next, you can count on me.

Detailed Version:

From brand strategy to design and development, I will help you research and organize your objectives to achieve your goals. I have a vast knowledge of web and graphic media as well as experience in Flash, Video and motion graphics.

Branding & Identity

Short Version:

Your business is important, and there's more to branding than just a website and a few business cards. I can help you with brand awareness and show you the key elements in raising brand loyalty.

Detailed Version:

How you present things to your customers/dealers will either raise or lower your brand image. Web presence, POP/print materials, marketing, business cards, ads, social networking, and even word of mouth are all things that make up your branding and identity. My job is to make sure you have the right resources to keep your business going.

Logo & Business Cards:

Short Version:

A logo is worth a million dollars. It is the forefront of your business and will be everywhere; from your business cards, to print materials and website. Having the right logo will be the difference between someone remembering your business in a positive or negative way.

Detailed Version:

I will design/redesign your logo to match your company identity as well as make sure it is consistent with your products and services. Your logo needs to be memorable and easy to recognize so that customers can pick you out from the crowd.

I also specialize in business cards, whether it's an expensive, nontraditional business card to add flair to your image, or a more simplistic traditional card for giving away to clients. I'll make sure your business card fits your brand identity to help you stand out.

Pricing:

• People ask about pricing.
• Base price starts at $2,500 (and up depending on the project).
• WordPress Blogs are at a special rate.
• I believe that molding a brand cannot necessarily be measured by dollars alone, and the payoff will be well worth it.
