Experience

In 1999 I began teaching myself how to build websites and dicovered a great interest in the field. Later that year I started my education in Philadelphia at the University of the Arts majoring in Multimedia. After spending 2 years being taught by some of the leaders in the web design industry I attended classes at Harrisburg Area Community College for Web Development. At HACC I learned advanced programming techniques and how to combine my knowledge and experience in art and design with modern web technologies.

Since the beginning of my career I have worked on many different sites for clients and for my full time employment as a web developer. I’m comfortable working on both Mac and Windows platforms and have experience using most of the industry standard software. I’ve worked on projects ranging from small 5 page sites to complex database driven sites and content management systems. No matter what the size of your project, I can provide a solution that will meet your needs.

Philosophy

My business philosophy and practice can be defined by four basic concepts: Honesty, Respect, Commitment and Satisfaction.

Honesty:
My clients recieve fair and honest pricing for their projects. There are no hidden costs and there is flexibility with payment options. My goal is to provide my clients with bottom rates for top of the line products.

Respect:
Each of my clients is treated with the same amount of respect that I would expect from anyone I do business with. That level of respect shines through in my customer service and desire to help my clients’ businesses grow.

Commitment:
I am completely committed to my work. I have never backed-out of a contract or turned a client away. I will provide the work I promise by the deadlines I promise or the client will recieve compensation. Each client is equally important no matter the size of the company or project.

Satisfaction:
The ultimate goal of each contract is to assure my client gets a product which meets their needs. While I may offer other services, I never pressure my clients into any uneccesary and costly extra features. I personally work with my clients individually to define their needs and gaurantee they will have a product to be proud of.
