Since junior high, I’ve been fascinated by the Internet and how it enables us to reach many with a small financial investment. I discovered this with my own websites and was thrilled to talk to people around the world. In college, I learned the fundamentals of design, the intricacies of interactive media, and business essentials. In 2005, I moved from my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee to Portland, Oregon to pursue my career in web design.
My experiences as a freelancer and as a design firm employee have provided me with opportunities to fill multiple project roles. I’ve worked as a designer, developer, and project manager. I enjoy the challenge that each role affords. I’ve also worked with a variety of businesses, from design and creative agencies, to small local businesses, to international companies. These invaluable experiences have shown me that I most love working with small business.
Services
Site Design
Need a site built from scratch, or does your current site need a redesign? I specialize in creating user-friendly, modern designs for your business and target audience.
HTML and CSS Coding
To create an accessible and extendable site, I’ll transform your site design into well-structured HTML and CSS.
Custom WordPress Sites
Don’t want your website to grow stale? You’ll need a CMS so you can update your site content after launch. Because of its stability and scalability, the WordPress platform makes sense for many clients. Order your own custom WordPress theme and give your business a sleek and updated online front.
SEO
Performing Search Engine Optimization will ensure that engines list your url and customers can find you. After we define the relevant key words and business description, I’ll place the data in the appropriate places on your site. I’ll create a sitemap and robot file. Then I’ll submit your URL and business details to search engines and directories. Here come the bots!
Email and Banner Marketing
Looking for additional ways to promote your business and connect with customers? Sign up for handcrafted and stylish HTML emails and banners that will drive people to your site and increase sales.
Site Maintenance
To update sites that are not built with a CMS, you’ll need to know some HTML. If you have a WordPress-driven site, you can easily update the site text via the admin interface. If you prefer to focus on managing your business, however, I can perform regular site updates. This maintenance will keep your site fresh, encourage repeat visitors, and keep your hands free.
