About
I specialize in working with small-to-medium sized businesses to enhance their web sites and web applications. I am a one-man shop and capable of doing design as well as development.
The technologies I work with are WordPress, Drupal, HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Angular, React, Vue, jQuery), PHP, and MySQL. If you don't understand what all of that means, that's ok! I am a professional and I can match the technology with your business needs.
I have advanced knowledge and experience with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and accessibility standards and can assist your business with those as well!
I like the creativity of web development as well as coding and getting to know my clients and their business so I can partner with them to grow their business utilizing my skills and experience. For me, it is all about the return on investment (ROI). Once you hire me you will benefit from my services with a modern well-structured website or a web application which will bring your business more leads and thusly more sales.
