A graphic design/web development company that specializes in designing for print and for the world wide web, and developing dynamic web sites that my clients can maintain themselves. For the past fourteen years it has been my purpose to create unique designs that fit the needs and desires of my customers. To that end, I have designed brochures, and business cards. But most typically, I create entire web sites with unique designs and powerful dynamic capabilities.
That's the motto that drives me to be the best I can be for my customers.
Though designing web sites has been my primary occupation, it has only been in the last few years that I have ventured into the world of web application programming using PHP, a popular programming language on the web...Show More
It's no longer just about the design of the web site that I am concerned, but about purposing the entire site. That means bringing the power of dynamic capability to the sites through the power of programming; and that means using the best language on the market for creating dynamic web sites: PHP.
My skills at web design/programming have progressed from the basic HTML to XHTML with CSS to XHTML with CSS driven by PHP and MySQL to XHTML with CSS driven by PHP and MySQL through the CodeIgniter framework (also the best on the market). And now, I have slowly ventured into the use of jQuery (the best javascript framework on the market). Though I prefer server-side technologies (php, mysql) over those that are browser-dependent and biased toward client-side dependencies (like javascript), I acknowledge their power and their ability to add much more capabilities to the sites I design. Therefore my skillset grows and the sites I create become more complex, more dynamic, and more user-friendly. Using the power of PHP and MySQL (an open source database), I am able to empower sites to be dynamic and provide the tools necessary for the average user to change the content of the site at will. It is my belief that the power of the web should be at least in part in the hands of the common user, and not at the mercy of the web developer. To that end I have designed input forms that store their input in databases, and then applications that allow users to edit and delete that information as they see fit. A database alone has little power without an application behind it allowing access to its data and another providing the power to modify that data. That's where I come in. Invisible and powerful, the web application is the future of web design. Hide
Graphic design is the primary service I provide to my customers, though I am better known locally for building web sites. My web sites speak for themselves and can be seen on my client's page. As for graphic design for print, I can provide a number of products... Show More
Graphic design, web implementation, logotypes, brochures...it all essentially concerns marketing, and marketing depends a large part upon advertising... Show More
In many forms, subtle and gross, advertising pervades our lives, but as good or bad as they are, people remember them, they stick in their minds, they tickle their fancy, they get them humming jingles or laughing out loud. If you are going to spend money on advertising, at least spend it on a design with some longevity and with some kind of style. I can make your advertisements special and unique, for web, print, television...even radio.
Pre-press is the brass-tacks of the print design field; knowing what colors to use for each application of the graphics, knowing how to spot colors that are out of gamut, and positively separating the colors so that what you see in the proof really will be what you get from the final product...Show More
Not many businesses realize how important this step is when sending a job to a service bureau - avoid costly errors by doing it the right way the first time - hire a professional.Hide
