Design Philosophy:
Your website should be an extension of you and your business. It is your virtual gallery or office and for many the first place people find and judge you. Stop to think where you want your business to be in a year. What growth do you want to see? Your website should support this master plan.
Designing a web site is a balance between artistic and scientific skills. With web design I can combine my art degree with my internal geek. Creating web sites that connect people to a product, to a cause, or with one another is my goal.
Endless Possibilities
This is beyond what I ever would have imagined. You have truly taken this company to the next level.- John Shipway,
Software Integrity, Inc.
I became hooked or rather addicted to web design when I truly discovered its possibilities. Being able to take a concept that makes work more efficient, relationships more meaningful and voices louder and make it a reality is powerful. Yet the power is in the possibilities. A web can be much more than a mechanism to connect you with the world, it can have amazing internal functions. Visit my portfolio to learn more about the functionalities I have created for clients.
Empowering the User
I was driven to learn web design because there was also a part of me that could not sit idle while I needed a web designer to update a paragraph or an image. With this in mind I have created a content management system that serves both the programmer and the client. There are many promising content management systems designed for the end user to edit content. As a programmer I found the systems limiting. You could only go so far with the design and functionality. You are relegated to templates and pre-designed modules. The system I have designed allows us to work together without limiting the possibilities. It’s simple: you envision, I design and create, you edit the content. No need to purchase expensive software or wait for a programmer to update your list of upcoming events.
The empowerment does not stop there. While this is a straight forward, user friendly system, each client receives a training video demonstrating the use of their personalized administrative control panel.

Clean Sites
You took my idea and helped me make it a reality. Now, I have my own business. The site has a contemporary design that gives potential clients informaiton that is easy to access. You rock!- Allison Black,
Better Life Pilates
For many people a web site can be overwhelming. Individuals should not feel frustrated when visiting a site because they can not find the information they need. I believe in creating clean, organized sites to enable viewers to find what they need. Many sites are designed specifically for viewers with high speed internet. I manipulate the code to facilitate easy loading for anyone viewing the site. If the load time of your site is excessive the viewer will find another site to visit.
Clean Code
When your website vision is made a reality you are purchasing the creation. While I offer great support and ongoing development for your site, you may choose to have another programmer work on your site. I have redesigned several web sites and it can be a programming nightmare when trying to sort through sloppy, unorganized code. For this reason the code I create is clean and complies with all internet protocols. Not only is the code clean, it is organized so any programmer can see the correspondence between code and functionality of the site.
