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.
