WHO AM I?

If you’re looking for someone that knows web design, graphic design and web security then look no further.  I started out designing a logo in early 1998 for a group of local musicians and have been designing everything from business cards to t-shirts and websites ever since.  My career path has been in the Information Technology field since 2004 in roles ranging from end user support, data security analytics to web application vulnerability management.  For the past 20+ years, my passion has been based on three simple principles: Web. Design. Security.

While I am comfortable working in the corporate realm, I prefer freelance web and graphic design because it gives me the flexibility to work with whom I choose.  My client base is diverse – from first-time small business owners to large non-profit organizations.  My Information Security background allows me to provide my clients with simple, captivating and functional websites all while incorporating standard web application security during the development phase – not as an additional service.  Because, that is how it should be.

During my first year as a freelance web designer, I discovered that many small business owners lacked the knowledge and understanding to successfully market and brand their business online.  Soon after my corporate career took off, I began offering web consulting services to small business owners of services such as payment gateways, invoicing, email marketing and social media promotion.  This is a way for me to give back and share my knowledge.

I’m a Believer ✝, Husband, Girl Dad, Herbivore, USMC Vet, Web Geek, Proficient Designer, InfoSec Gladiator, Licensed Drone Pilot, Nike, Music & Soccer Fan.

HOW I CONDUCT BUSINESS

Quick Turnaround Times

If you need your website launched in three months or three weeks, I am confident that I can help.  My record so far for a website launch is six days from the initial client contact.

Reasonable Pricing

Fair and reasonable pricing is essential for any small business owner.  I get that.  Whether your budget is $350 or $7,000, I assure you that you will get everything you requested in your project.

Privacy & Security

The privacy and security of my clients are very important to me. All communication we engage in will be strictly for the project at hand. Once our project is completed, all communication will be purposeful.

Lucid Communication

My communication style is both approachable and upfront.  I spent 20+ years in the Information Technology and Security industry, so explaining a technical or complicated subject so it’s easy to understand comes naturally for me.

Effective Listening

One of the most effective ways to ensure you are satisfied is to ensure you get exactly what you ask for.  The only way to accomplish this is for me to listen when you voice not only what you are looking for, but what you are not looking for.

Attention to Detail

When I build a website, I check it’s appearance in all four of the modern and supported browsers, not just the one you as the client are using. Why? Because the website should look the same no matter what platform it is viewed on.

“It’s not what you look at the matters… it’s what you see.”

HOW I HANDLE EACH PROJECT

Research

Before I do anything with your website design layout or color scheme, I research every aspect of your business vertical, including your competition. This will set you apart from them from the onset.

Plan

Everything I discovered in the research phase is used to plan a route from design to launch. This is how I avoid the common pitfalls and delays that may arise at any given time during a project.

Design

The design phase is where the research, planning and strategy we discussed meets the coding. This is the phase I love the most. It’s also where you see your vision and mission come to fruition.

Testing

This is where we go through the website with a fine tooth comb. This is the phase where we uncover any quirks or bugs that are not present during the design phase and address them accordingly.

Launch

Once we have addressed all issues uncovered during the testing phase, we move to launch day. This is only after your have verified that you are 100% satisfied with your new website.

Monitor

Once your new website is live and you are seeing traffic, this is where I begin my monitoring for both analytics and security. This tells us details about your customers and what the bad guys are up to.
