I started working with HTML in 1998 with my parent's computer at home. I finally sprung for MS Frontpage, worked with it for about two months, and then gave up. I didn't pick it up for months simply because of the bad taste that was left in my mouth from Frontpage. When I returned, I vowed to learn web design the right way-- with standards, expectations, and true css design. Then, I found the beauty of programming with Javascript and PHP. It wasn't long before I was developing robust web applications through the utilization of MySQL databases and the like. I've developed sites with the latest in programming languages including attention to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), security, AJAX, Adobe Flash, and table-less CSS design. My passion for web design drives an ever-increasing desire for learning. If there's anything I've discovered behind the pages of the web, it's the necessity to be a learner-- and a researcher. Can I do anything on the web? Heck no... but I'll learn to.
I've worked with various customers included local churches, non-profit international organizations, educational institutions, politicians, and more. Check out the portfolio page to see some of my work.
Every website is completely different and is actually priced as a quote based on the customer's needs. Expectations and presentation design are negotiated upfront and a price is set. Clients are protected against over-billing from research, but are required to provide all necessary content (media and text) for the site development. Remeber, everything is quoted based on the actual needs of the site. However, the following are price breaks for what our clients are commonly looking for:
» 10 Pages or less, static text, custom design...($700)
» 10+ pages, some dynamic text (user changeable), custom design, small CMS...($1100)

» Special Features: Paypal linking, Video/Audio Management, Custom Scripting... (add $100-200)
» Special Skills: Flash Design, Logo Design, Search Engine Optimization... (add $300-400)
