My professional experience in software development ranges from programming large, mainframe application systems for government and large-business clients, to hand-coding web pages for individuals and small business entities using Microsoft, Open Source and Adobe Creative Suite tools to create and implement standards-compliant websites. I also have professional experience in journalism, writing and editing, which informs my copy writing for web projects that require it.

My artistic training has been in traditional and digital painting and in classical music composition. The attention to detail, balance and organization these endeavors require bear directly on my ability to design and code effective and efficient websites. Here are recent banner ads and Flash examples that I created in Adobe Illustrator CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.


website design concepts

Visual appeal, accurate details across platforms and functionality the user requires, are my design goals, while separating semantic portions of website coding from style and behavioral components is my guiding principle, leading to more easily maintained websites.


services, planning and costs

Website development. Projects large and small benefit from careful planning, following proven development methodologies and principles. We work together to find what works best for you.

Website maintenance. Services can be arranged for modification to the scope or details of your original website design; for periodic changes to the website including text, layout and graphics; adding or subtracting pages; changes to navigation or links; changing ISPs or ISP services; performing website and database backups, etc.

Price factors. Every project is different; both development and maintenance activities vary by number and complexity of web pages, articles, graphics work, back-end programming (database design, setup and interfaces), animations, data collection and reporting and scripting features. Let's discuss your project.
