Visual Elegance
star_blueIn design I strive to balance between text and visual elements, and I love to create websites that are attractive and elegant, yet also simple, informative and accessible to all.

Search Engine Optimization
star_blueI believe WordPress is the best platform for SEO. It’s been said to “Be in bed with Google” and I believe it. Combined with article marketing, social networking and bookmarking, and building intricate “linkwheels” to maximize keyword targeting, you’ll get to the first page of Google in no time – and that’s the most important aspect of having a website for most people.

Simple Management
environment_viewI believe websites should be easy to manage and update. I use WordPress as my development platform, and find that it accommodates anyone’s needs. It’s incredibly easy to learn and you can easily manage your entire website with a few mouse clicks.

Customer Focus
businessmenI have worked with hundreds of customers in all sorts of markets. From initial meetings, to continued training and help after a project is done, I am always available and offer the best support to my clients.

All the Trimmings
During my career as a web designer I have juggled a number of roles and developed a well-rounded set of skills. If you are looking for someone who can “do it all”, look no further. I am an expert in internet and affiliate marketing; I create original graphics for print and the web; Contact me today!
