I am a web designer, specializing in design, usability, front-end web development.  I hand-code valid XHML and CSS websites that communicate a message, optimized for search engines, and function flawlessly across all the major browsers.  I take web development further by integrating WordPress as my CMS of choice.  I design and program custom wordpress themes and take the wordpress platform beyond just a blogging tool.

Design, CSS coding, and WordPress integration are only the beginning of the list of services I provide to my clients as a self-employed freelancer.  I also develop websites with full-featured e-commerce solutions such as Zen Cart, Magento, and others.  Payment gateways, email marketing, and other enhancements to help small business websites succeed are all things that fall under my areas of expertise.

As a dedicated blogger and web enthusiast, I have done heavy research and implementation of search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, specifically as it relates to WordPress websites.  Going beyond coding websites that are search engine friendly, I engage in social media on a daily basis, actively promoting my brand and connecting with fellow creatives from across the globe.

  1. Thank you so much for posting this. This gives me some ideas on how to create my own CSS-website.

  2. Well written article. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

  3. Oh my god enjoyed reading this post. I submitted your rss to my blogreader!!

  4. It took me the better part of a year to figure out how to do “proper” table based layouts. It took me the better part of a month to figure out how to do pure css layouts. And that’s even including work arounds for common bugs, like the Box Model Hack. So even people who use he excuses of “it’s easier” and “I’m lazy” are full of it. It seems to me that folks who are resistant to leaving behind old school table layouts are simply afraid to try something new. This is quite sad, because every web professional I know got into this field because it was something new. And most of us are tickled pink that thanks to emerging technologies and evolving standards like css, the field will remain new. Not to mention lower page weights and obviously a greater technical integrity which is important whatever product you are making.

    • Table-based layouts shouldn’t even be talked about, teached, or heard of in web design anymore. It’s a shame that some colleges and universities still “educate” students on this method.
