Website Design

My strength is simple designs. Visitors to my clients' websites most often note that the design is "clean" — uncluttered, straightforward, easy to navigate, and attractive. I help my clients focus in on their target audiences. I work with clients to communicate effectively via the Web. I take the technical challenges out of the equation; encouraging my clients to pull their information together in a way that speaks to their visitors.

Examples

Website Development

Need help putting your website together? I assist my clients to whatever degree they need … from structuring existing documents, flyers, brochures, papers, etc., to writing as much or as little as necessary to give visitors a pleasant and fulfilling experience, helping my clients get their message across.

I convert documents to Adobe's PDF format for document-intense sites. I create photo galleries. I bring organization to content when it seems like a jumble.

I can write code (PHP, ASP, Java, Javascript, etc.) to achieve a professional, user-friendly goal, while keeping maintenance manageable.

Website Maintenance

If you have an existing website, but no time or resources to do the webmastering, I can do that. Just by sending me an email I can update your site, add new content, or delete outdated content. I interact with your hosting provider. I translate technical and administrative information into options you can choose from or steps you need to take.

Mindful of web standards, I balance design, accessibility, and browser compatibility with your need to maintain your site at a reasonable cost.

Training/Teaching/Coaching

It's not my intent to make you dependent on me or anybody else. I prefer to help you become independent and as self-sufficient as you want to be when it comes to your website. Toward that end, I provide general training in web tools and technologies, teaching associated with particular techniques or methods, and one-on-one coaching for my clients.

I teach community education classes through Sierra College. Very short (usually 3-6 hours), these classes give you a taste of what's possible on the Web. Schedules and times for the current or next semester appear on my home page. For a course description or to see class materials for a specific class, visit my Teaching page. To register for any of these classes, check out the Sierra College Community Education website.
