Web Design
Having web presence is quite common these days. In order to stand out in the crowd, you need a design that pops. I can help to create a sharp, original, and professional design that accurately reflects your goals as an individual or company. I will ensure that your design looks great, is cross-browser compatible, and will operate at its highest efficiency.
Information Architecture
The art and science of creating a model or concept for information. Or in the world wide web, what should go where. A large problem many websites suffer from is a lack of expressing the important information in a way that the viewer doesn’t have to search for it. I can help you determine the most efficient and accurate representation of the information you’re wanting to extend to your audience.
Interaction Design
Viewers and users differ in that viewers view your information, whereas users interact with your information. A good interface should non-intuitively convey functionality and meaning. I specialize in hand-crafted, unobtrusive interfaces that provide for the type of experience a user will want to have again.
Template Design
Do you already have a design, but need help bringing it to life? I have extended experience turning an image (or “comp”) into a real-life, marked-up design. I employ web standards and can guarantee a design that considers compatibility in all modern browsers, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and faster load times.
Web Application Development
There are a lot of confusing pieces to a web application, and I deal with them everyday. I can help extract that confusion and give your concept or idea some life. I focus on solid, well-tested, and maintainable code, as well as clean and simple interfaces that shift the focus to the purpose of the application and the problems it solves.
Reserved Rights
I reserve the right to accept/reject projects based solely on their context or desired technology. Also, I will not take responsibility for hosting-related issues concerning any site or application that I've developed for you, but I would be more than happy to steer you in the right direction.
Preferred Technologies
Concerning a complete web application, any project desiring or accepting of the Ruby on Rails framework is almost a sure-shot at consuming my interests. I enjoy—and am most productive in—that environment, which lends itself to a quicker turnaround and higher quality applications.
