freelance
As a developer and designer with over 10 years of experience and a strong background in both content and accessible web design, I can offer a variety of services and, since I'm independent, very competitive rates.
development
I specialize in building custom data-driven, transactional web sites using PHP and MySQL. Typical projects include custom content management systems, enabling clients to manage and update their websites without needing advanced technical knowledge.
On development projects, I emphasize search engine optimization, (see below), separation of content, design, and mechanism, and expandable architecture.
Contact me with your ideas and questions.
design
My background in HTML, CSS, and accessibility allows me to design sites to be accessible, usable, and coherent.
My expertise is in standards-compliance and accessibility, including progressive enhancement and cross-browser compatibility, as well as in AJAX and other Web 2.0 technologies.
Write to me to discuss your design needs and goals.
consulting
In addition to design and development solutions, I provide the following content-based consulting services.
content consulting
The key to any web site is its content. I can help you or your organization focus the content-creation for your site and determine exactly what content your site will have. I will work with you to create goals for the site and determine how to meet those goals.
accessibility consulting
Making websites accessible is often a matter of principle, necessity, or even law. As one of only a few designers active in accessibility, I can help your organization meet the WCAG and Section 508 requirements.
I can work with new designs from the beginning, or analyse and correct pre-existing work.
search engine optimization
I can work with your new or current site to improve search engines' access to its content and ensure that design, structure, and content promote, rather than inhibit, high search engine ranking.
