Unique, Hand Crafted Sites
I create hand-crafted websites. Each one is a unique creation built upon best practises and web standards.
I have worked on a wide range of projects and for a wide range of audiences. I love a challenge, even if it means I must figure out quadratic equations, construct an intuitive interface, or develop a web application.
Web standards provide the building blocks or structure necessary to make an easy-to-use site, the purpose makes the site great.
Great sites have Purpose
After making sites of all styles and content, I realized there is something easy and simple you can do to make a great site:
- Learn about the people using the site.
- Know what the site should do to make those people happy.
- To accomplish its purpose (Sell something, provide knowledge, etc.), the site should be easy for everyone to use.
Programming
The key to being a good designer is understanding the parameters of the platform on which you are designing. Understanding the defaults inherent in operating systems and browsers, as well as a solid understanding of the boundaries of programming languages helps me achieve solid interface design.
Here are some of the skills:
- HTML, HTML5, XML
- CSS, CSS3 and pre-processors Less and Sass
- JavaScript, Ajax, jQuery, Node.js
- Composer, NPM, Gulp
- Bash, shell scripts, terminal
- Running Linux based web-servers
- Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Flash, and more
- MySQL, Access, and other database platforms
- Windows, Linux, and iOS
- Web Application Development
Mobile Support & Web Apps
All the sites and applications I create work across all devices. Mobile support is key and each site is fully tested on major phone brands.
Avoid the hassle and expense of a separate app. A properly designed website on a mobile device can provide the same functionality as an app.
Is it time for a redesign? Do you have a site that does not work on phones and iPads?
Need your website to do more? I can help, ask me how.
