EXPERIENCE A local web site designer with a select national clientele. Over fifteen years experience on the web - with nearly a quarter of a century in page design and marketing-advertising layout. EXPERTISE Specializing in web design for small business, I have always considered myself a web-publisher/writer, as opposed to a webmaster. The idea is always to create a site that reflects the ideals and intentions of the client's business - while maintaining a very serious concern to the end-users attention, interests and ease of navigation. No single designer can create what is necessary for all the variety of sites that need to be built. If your project is beyond my expertise or scheduling, I will tell you so beforehand. If your vision of your site is below my expectations of what it can be, I share that as well. I seldom take an interest in securing new work. The fact of the matter is I bid on projects that interest me - projects that I feel offer a particular challenge and results which I feel I can accomplish. "Practicality is the ultimate sophistication." DaVinci LONG-TERM & SEO There are no elevators to Page One Google. Search Engine Optimization, as well as professional site development, are generally long-term projects. I enjoy becoming a part of each client's business, whether it is for the immediate work at-hand, or for long-term and on-going development. My prices are very affordable, so much so that they tend to scare some clients away with the thinking that they will "get more for paying more." I maintain the same pricing for my walk-ins as I do for agency/studio work. If you feel the work accomplished is worth more, and feel compelled to pay more, I will gladly accept the offer. [It has happened.] My SEO strategy is purely "Organic." There are no black hat practices. Sites are built to attract and deliver the information necessary for a proper indexing of the content. There are no secrets to optimization. And, as everyone knows, there are no guarantees. However, there is always the opportunity to adjust and refine strategies to advantage. SITE EVALUATIONS & PSD-RENDERINGS If you have an existing site do ask about a free initial review of it's content and layout. This also offers me the opportunity to review whether it would be a project that I can handle. I also offer free PSD-renderings for re-builds if my schedule allows.
