Web Design/Front End Development

I am a Front End Designer / Developer for the web. From the initial wireframe concepts to creating the graphical elements of the design in Adobe Photoshop to building the site using valid, standards-compliant, XHTML & CSS. I do it all. I enjoy writing code that is efficient, orderly and easily maintainable. Also, if you are a designer that doesn't like to "code" your sites or if you don't have the time, let me do it for you!

The ExpressionEngine CMS

Powered by ExpressionEngine

I prefer to build websites on top of one of the most powerful and perhaps flexible CMS's (Content Management Systems) around. ExpressionEngine is used by websites large and small and it is renowned amongst many of the worlds top designers because it simply gets out of the way of the code, keeping it uncluttered, so the website looks just as intended.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Rising to the top of the search engine rankings is not magic. In part, it takes a well-built website that takes Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) into account from the ground up. I consider this with every website that I design. I also approach SEO from an ethical standpoint insuring that it will be the quality of your content that raises your site through the rankings rather than tricks, smoke and mirrors.

Social Media Consultation

While I'm no social media "expert", I can certainly incorporate aspects of social media into your website or blog as well as consult with you on the intricacies of the current social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Linked in, etc. I can also help you with client-side software like TweetDeck. Social media is not a panacea, but can be a very powerful tool in your marketing and PR tool chest.
