Professional Skills
Portfolio + Success Stories
Service Offerings
Web Development
Engineering x Design
There are great web developers and then there are lazy ones. I'd like to think that after 20 years in this industry, I've become "very OK" at this craft.
Dynamic HTML5 Ads
Creative x Media
I make creative and engaging media by making text and images move on the screen. This generally leads to high conversion rates for your business.
CMS Platforms
Simplicity x Websites
Through the years, creating a website has been simplified to "point and click". But you're also running a business, so let us both focus on what we do best.
SEO
Higher x Rankings
The Search Engine Optimization landscape has become exponentially competitive. Let's craft the most effective strategy to improve your rankings.
Project Management
Effective x Efficient
I've been known to wear the Project Manager hat. Whether projects are "from the beginning" or "in the middle of a sh*t show", let's get it across the finish line.
Web Hosting
Uptime x Monitoring
Continue leading that Zoom call with the rest of the marketing team. Leave the website maintenance, monitoring and updates to yours truly.
