 Web DevelopmentAt my core, I am a programmer and can create sites with a high level of functionality. With the advent of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, which greatly simplifies development, and faster JavaScript rendering technologies, browsers are now becoming viable development platforms capable of replacing traditional desktop applications. This allows you to provide for your users a more and rich and compelling user experience. |
 Web DesignDespite what they say about not judging a book by its cover, first impressions do matter. If users are turned off by your site design, they can easily go elsewhere. Web design is also not only about aesthetics but also about how information is presented, organized and structured. Clear navigation, good use of white space, clean and consistent layouts, legible typography with a well defined hierarchy, considerate load times… these all play a role in creating an effective site design. |
 Site Maintenance & SupportOk, your site is built. Mission accomplished right? Well not exactly. The web is organic and constantly evolving. If you allow the content on your site to stagnate, your site will most likely be left behind as users flock to greener pastures with fresh content. It is important to update your site on a regular basis to maintain your relevancy. You can do this by updating the site yourself via a content management system (CMS) or if you are feeling brave, you can directly edit the code. A third option is to hire someone to maintain the site for you. For busy professionals, this might be the most cost-effective solution. Let me deal with the details, complexity and minutia of updating your web site and you can continue doing what you do best—running your business. I am also available to help you with domain registrations, web hosting, email setup and support and other administrative tasks. |
 Outsourcing & OverflowAre you a web developer with too much work on your hands? Business is good and I’m sure you’re not complaining because you’re in an enviable position. But maybe you could use some extra programming muscle to help you to meet your deadlines. Or maybe you’re a web designer who can create beautiful designs but you’re not too fond of arrays, “if statements” and “for loops”. If this describes you, then give me a shout. Maybe I can help. I can convert your PSDs into pixel-perfect, cross-browser compatible, standards compliant HTML and CSS and if needed, inject it with jQuery and PHP to help bring your projects to life. Just let me know what you need. |

More About Me...
I grew up watching Transformers, He-man and Thundercats. I'm still waiting for the latter two shows to be turned into movies. Hopefully the movie studios won't skew too young but asking them to turn children's cartoons into gritty, dramatic screen adaptations might be asking for too much. In the meantime, when I'm not working, you can probably find me reading up on the latest tech, web and gaming news. When I'm unplugged, you'll probably find me on the dance floor. A few years ago, I signed up for salsa lessons on a whim and it turned out that I don't totally suck at it. The rest you can say is history.
