Guru

Welcome

I am a website designer and full-stack web application developer with over 8 years of experience writing custom HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP for websites and web based applications. I also have over 20 years of experience in video, photography and graphic design. With this combined skill set, I am able to build a wide range of custom websites and website applications that are fast, reliable and secure. I do not use plug-ins or third party software. I build from scratch. If you're looking for an entirely unique and custom website from design to functionality, I can make it happen for you.

Most website design companies build websites using WordPress and a number of third-party plugins and applications to handle a range of tasks from eCommerce to Customer Relationship Management and even Search Engine Optimization. The biggest issue with this approach is that, because these tools are all widely distributed and are designed to be installed with your website's server-side code, they become targets for hackers. When a vulnerability is found, everyone who uses them is at risk. Custom application code written specifically for your use case is the best way to avert these catastrophies. Custom application code is faster, more reliable and more secure than WordPress and other third-party plugins and applications.

Design

Website Design

Effective website design plays an important role in attracting and engaging visitors. Clear navigation ensures users can easily find what they're looking for. Eye-catching visuals and a cohesive color scheme create a visually appealing experience. Responsive design is essential for seamless viewing on various devices. A well-designed website can enhance user experience and drive traffic. I can create an effective website design from scratch that accomplishes all of that. Already have ideas or mockups for your website? I can write custom HTML and CSS, and include custom fonts, to match any design or layout to the pixel.

Development

Application Development

Web-based application development involves creating software that users can access through a web browser. This approach offers the advantage of easy accessibility, allowing users access to the application on various devices without the need for installation. It also simplifies updates and maintenance, as changes can be made centrally and are instantly reflected for all users. Web-based applications streamline collaboration and data sharing, making them a popular choice for businesses seeking efficiency and scalability in their software solutions. Need something that's more concise than a third-party solution? I can write custom code to do exactly what you want to do with your web-based application.

Branding

Effective business branding is crucial for standing out in a competitive market. Creating a unique identity for a company makes it easily recognizable among consumers. Consistent branding across different platforms and marketing materials builds trust and loyalty with customers. By incorporating a clear brand message and visual elements, businesses leave a lasting impression and establish a strong presence in the marketplace. If you're serious about your brand, I can match the design and color theme of your website to your existing marketing materials or help you create new marketing materials to match your website.

Search Engine Optimization

A strong online presence is key for the success of many businesses. Search engine optimization, commonly known as SEO, is vital for improving a website's visibility on search engine results pages. By optimizing page content, improving page load times and using a mobile-friendly responsive design, websites attract relevant traffic from searches. Without good SEO, a website could end up dead in the water with zero traffic and zero value to a business owner, and with so much at stake you want to be found online, am I right? No worries. From start to finish, I incorporate the best SEO techniques into every website project I do.
