Website Design
I make this look good. Though your mother might have told you its on the inside that counts, when it comes to your website, looks matter. You only have one chance to make a first impression, so make it count. My sites encourage users to explore them and provide legitimacy, establishing trust through polished, well-planned presentations of your business on the web. People pick businesses they trust, businesses who are professional, easy to work with, and offer superior quality. I believe your website should exhibit these qualities too.
So easy your grandma can use it.Good looks aside, my intuitive designs are easy to use first, and pretty second. A lot of planning goes into my website before any actual design work begins. I take the time to look at my clients specific needs, prioritize them, and then create a rough wireframe that follows these guidelines. I exclude any colors or images, so that we can focus on the most important aspect of the website, its content. This helps keep the focus on creating an effective, easy user experience first, rather than focusing so much on the looks. I collaborate closely with my clients, to realize custom solutions and graphics that are exactly what they need to make a splash on the web, and meet their goals.
CSS & HTML Programming
You have a great design, now let me help put it to work. No compromises, the finished site will be pixel perfect translations of the designs, and your site will look just as intended. Whether it's my website design or someone else's, I take the design as law. I will utilize all the tools in my toolbox to make it just as it should be. SEO is another important factor I consider when building your website, and I create code that is easy for the search spiders to read and map, using the latest techniques to maximize your sites SEO potential.
Always look good, even on that computer in the attic. I meticulously program semantic and valid HTML/CSS by hand to ensure quick load times and continuity across all platforms and browsers, including IE6. I avoid Flash unless its absolutely necessary, meaning even Mac devices won't have a problem with your site!
CMS Integration
Take control of your website. CMS, or Content Management Systems, are become more and more standard, as businesses seek to take control of their content. After all, it is your website, you should be able to change the majority of its content yourself. I can integrate most websites into one of these systems, giving my clients the ability to add, remove, or modify nearly anything on their website. Update static pages, post new articles, or add and remove entire sections, all with a click of the mouse.
Save time and money by eliminating the need for a programmer after the site is complete. I use Expression Engine and Wordpress CMS systems, which together help me provide fantastic solutions for any project, regardless of sope or budget.
Ecommerce Solutions
Great solutions without the price tag. Let me help you put your wares for sale online with an intuitive eCommerce system you control yourself. I work with small to medium scal ecommerce projects, and tackle such tasks as : inventory tracking, coupon codes, downloadable products, limitless category and item listings, online subscriptions, and much more! The best part is how flexible the solutions can be, matching nearly any look, scope or project budget
Why are my solutions better? Because I only take on small to medium scale ecommerce projects, I negate the need for a clunky, often excessively large system that many other studios provide. The methods I use incorporate ecommerce into the same familiar systems I use for CMS Integration, Wordpress and Expression Engine, placing all aspects of your business in one place. All this saves you time and money, as they allow you to control your store content with an easy interface and without an expensive alternate system.
