Services Provided

Boy, where to start…

I am primarily a designer and developer. Exactly what I design and develop is determined on a per‐project basis, but my strengths lie in the ability to take your idea and turn it into a real and tangible product or service. If you’re only in the concept stage of your project, and haven’t fully developed your idea, even better.

What do I do?

That depends largely on what your project needs are, but it can be largely broken‐down into two segments; Website Services and General Business Services.

Website Services

A broad‐based list of web‐related services follows, but generally, I can handle most aspects of the design and development of your website and all the various additional items and issues that come along with establishing (or improving) an online presence.

Website Design and/or Development

Looking for a new site? Or the redesign of an existing site? No problem. We should talk. On the design side, I create engaging, functional designs that not only meet current web standards, but also maintain your identity while keeping up with the times. And all designs are W3C‐compliant; ensuring usability, and accessibility.

On the development side, I’m well‐versed in various web languages and technologies such as PHP, Javascript, XHTML, and CSS (among others) and can either script your site "from scratch" to accomodate your project specifics, or intergrate your design into an existing CMS. However, projects that require more robust application programming should involve a third‐party specialized in that particular area.

Website Maintenance

Need someone to maintain your web project? No prob. Whether it’s frequent updates or the infrequent change, I can handle it for you.

However, if your updates are really frequent (like, daily or weekly), it’s best to utilize and learn a CMS. If that’s the case, I can work with you to get you going, train you or your staff, and then (of course) be available on an as‐needed basis. Look at that. I just saved you money.

XHTML & CSS Coding

Have a table‐based layout? Outdated code? Have the design done but need someone to covert it to XHTML and CSS? Again, not a problem. By using the latest web standards such as XHTML and CSS, you’re ensuring your site can reach the widest audience possible and be compatible on the widest range of devices.

Content Development

So you have an idea, a design, and a site. Now comes the hard part— putting your idea into words. Do you know how web users read on a website? Do you know how a search engine reads a website? What do your competitors have to say? How easily are they found?

At a loss? We should talk. Better yet, you talk, I’ll write.

General Business Development

The majority of my career life has been in business development with a concentration in cost‐efficient operational expansion. What does this mean in "normal" terms? It means; I spent most of the early part of my career taking small companies and making them larger, more sucessful, and more profitable.

One of the things that sets me apart from other web developers is this extensive history of real‐world, offline business development experience. Drawing off this history, I can put together a comprehensive plan to expose your site (and your business) to a greater audience of visitors and potential customers.

Brand Development

If you’re a new business or an existing one needing a fresh update, we can work together to identify your organization’s core identity and come up with ways of conveying this identity to the world.

After all, once you’re online, you’re global.

Marketing & Advertising

Offline you use the phonebook yellow pages, radio spots, newspaper ads, etc. Online, do you know where to advertise? Do you know where your target demographic spends the bulk of their online time? Which directory sites do you list with? Should you use PPC advertising? Rely solely on SEO? I can answer these questions and more.

Operational Development and Efficiency

Need a fresh pair of eyes? I am a forward‐thinking individual, high on energy, initiative and optimism regarding the importance of improving your bottom line, while also managing growth and improving the overall operational infrastructure of your organization. I have a clear track record of success as a leader, managing a full range of resources needed to achieve the success you’re looking for.

With this, I can assist in the development and implementation of strategic business plans to provide for long‐term business growth, develop business programs designed toward improving internal operating efficiency through the use of proper structure, technology and the measurement of operating metrics in a manner that supports your goal of success, and develop operating stategies for: customer service and product customization, product development, technical development and delivery, and information management and integration

The preceeding is only a sampling of some of the services I can provide. One of the benefits of my varied commercial background is my ability to adapt to very specific environments and develop unique solutions for unique projects; your unique project.

When you’re ready to get started, we should talk.
