Web Development / Design

Whether you have a concept, a design mockup, or a complete overhaul in mind my well rounded skill set allows me to work with you from beginning to end on most projects. We work together to coCreate your project and most sites are broken down and developed on a gray screen web development process. When you’re happy with what it does I design, or work with your design team, to find a visual solution and then code the project into cross platform, super clean, search engine friendly HTML with backend support.

 

I can:

  • HTML 5 / CSS3, Javascript
  • PHP, MySQL (LAMP)
  • Wordpress Customization

 

For example:
I worked with ASCONN (formally the Autism Society of Connecticut) to redesign their existing site. Working with their designer we created a new visual template for the new site, which included: a blog, forum, e-commerce, donations and a significant backend. I worked with a small team of two programmers to create the backend with plenty of jQuery and AJAX to make the pages more fluid.


If this sounds like the type of thing you want me to help you with, we can talk in a free email consultation.

 

What’s a Gray Screen Web Process?

The function is much easier to discuss when we remove it from the aesthetics. That’s a whole other conversation and most people blur the two together which leads to wasted time and potential miscommunication.

 

Technology Consulting

I’m a web Sherpa. With years of experience on the ever steepening technology slope I can suggest new innovations and best practices to help improve a project or your workflow. Internal communication and training is also available. If you have a more specialized request such as DNS configuration or Search Engine Management / SEO I’d be glad to speak with you.

 

I can:

  • HTML validation, web standards and best practices
  • DNS & hosting and email configurations
  • Development workflows and timelines
  • Search engine management & SEO
  • Project management


For Example:
Chris runs the Litchfield Athletic Club and wanted to make a memorable rewarding internet experience for his members. We used a green screen to shoot a great video introduction and started reaching out to members on social networks and email campaigns. We’re adding support for location based social networking, and I’ve also gotten involved with consulting projects for Chris’s two other companies.
