Portfolio of My Work

Designing and constructing websites is quite simple — or at least it should be. Striving for simplicity, usability, and beauty is the foundation for every successful website. I create every site, theme, project, and sketch in a deliberate way to optimize speed, file size, readability and accessibility. That's the definition of web standards and it's the only acceptable level for beautiful CSS webdesign.

I've worked with numerous groups at my alma mater, UMass Amherst, including several university departments & programs, as well as many student groups. Outside of UMass, I've worked for many small businesses and non-profit groups. My work is typically best suited for moderate sized organizations, with a modest budget.

Methods

My work is built on a belief in web standards. I produce valid, structured code, and design sites that will look great in all browsers, old and new. Every site I build is compliant with the W3C standards and is fully scalable, flexible, and accessible. Adhering to web standards will allow you to:

• Decrease file size, bandwidth, and server space
• Improve accessibility to all browsers and devices
• Optimize code for search engines and indexes
• Increase separation of presentation layer code from content
• Unify branding and presentation across entire site
• Simplify updating of look and feel
• Achieve faster page loading
• Lower costs on hosting and maintenance

Hosting

All the essential tools a business needs to create and manage a successful online presence.

• Domain Registration — Purchase and register your new domain name with a reliable registrar, so you never even have to think about. It just works.
• Website Hosting — Where "DOMAIN.COM" is your address, hosting is your internet real estate. I will purchase, configure, and maintain your real estate, with 99.9% uptime guaranteed.
