About
I build websites for individuals and small businesses with an emphasis on simple, functional, user friendly and responsive.
If you:
are looking for an upgrade beyond the do-it-yourself type sites --
don't want to expend time creating or modifying a website while managing your business --
don't want to pay high end web developer prices --
I have more tools at my disposal than you'll find at Wix, thus more options for customizing and personalizing a web identity and user experience for you and your clients.

Process
Determine if we're a good fit.
The relationships I maintain with my clients are for the long haul. I remain at their disposal for website modifications, resolving issues, updates and/or graphic design projects. In our first phone call we'll find out if we're right for each other. If I am unable to help you due to time constraints with other clients, or if my skill set is not appropriate to your needs, I will offer suggestions and guidance so you can find what you're looking for.
Your budget and my compensation.
Based on the type of work you want done and when you want it completed, I'll prepare an estimate. The estimate takes into consideration the complexity of the project, the amount of content and the total number of hours I figure it'll take me to deliver. If it's beyond your budget, then we can consider some cost saving alternatives.
Unique challenges.
Every project has its own unique set of challenges and constraints. That's one of the things I like about Web Development and Design. Even the most simplistic of projects takes care and consideration for how the content and elements are laid out, as well as, the functionality involved.
Projects
Ingram Engineering
Eric Ingram and I were housemates at Georgia Tech during the late 1980s. We were bandmates in a band called BOB. Eric on drums. Me on guitar and vocals. We recorded several albums and wrote a lot of songs together. Toured up and down the East Coast. Played at CBGBs a couple of times. Being creative and technically proficient, creating sound equipment was a natural evolution for Eric's electrical engineering pedigree.
The biggest challenge for ingramengineering.net was finding a better solution to manage and deliver the dozens of sound files. We ended up going with Amazon S3 for storing the many files. Organizing the files with appropriate names was time consuming. There is a lot of content on the site in addition to the audio files, including critical reviews of the different units, videos, and product information with specs.
KellerCo Optik & Electronik, LLC
Dave Keller came to me by word of mouth. KellerCo is a distributor of specialized consumables for the lapping and polishing of optics, infrared material, lasers, and other exotic materials. The challenge was deciphering the scientific terms and voluminous handwritten content and formatting it for a website. I helped economize the wording and grammar to optimize the website impression. I always proofread the website content my clients provide.
Rourke Fine Home Building, LLC
John learned of my business through butternutsgooddishes.com. He reached out to me about updating his website. I remember coming across rourkebuilders.com a couple of years ago and thinking it needed an update. We discussed what the new site needed to do. He wanted a partially dynamic site that would allow Rourke employees to Create, Read, Update and Delete four different project routes. John asked if I knew of any marketing people, as he wanted the site to rank high in search engines and to run targeted ad campaigns. I recommended a marketing professional. The challenge was that I hadn't worked on Search Engine Optimization (SEO), previously. We added Open Graph Metatags, Google scripts, a sitemap, and an in-site Blog to facilitate marketing and ad campaigns. Rourke has had a significant uptick in website traffic.
DJ's Septic Pumping Services
The main challenge for DJ's was graphic design. Most of the time I'm inside HTML, CSS and Javascript files trying to resolve bugs or formatting content to make it work within the context. DJ's home page needed a graphic. I wanted to use a photo of their septic pump truck. But how? Pulling assets together including images of DJ's trucks, I used Photoshop and Illustrator to craft what's known as a Hero image. Many modern websites have a large Hero image: the first image a visitor sees when visiting a site. The perfect hex color, #7b5901, for the background is an inviting brownish ochre to evoke what's being transported in the tanks of their trucks. You have to see the picture of Nathan actually inside a client's septic tank. I was grateful for the opportunity to build a site for Sarah and Nathan.
