Hello World v1.5
I’m a self-taught web developer that has an affinity for the Internet and the ideas that create it. My current specialty is in the creation and planning of interactive media, specifically front-end development with languages like HTML, CSS and Javascript. But front-end isn’t about just client side anymore and it’s alot more than slicing and dicing PSDs; Front-end development now includes the gamut of web technologies from server-side programming to User Interface planning to Search Engine Optimization and Social Media. Check out my To Do List of technologies I’m currently trying to get a handle on and if I’ve added any skills to my Resume.
Currently, I am under employ of General Mills as a front-end developer and learning a large amount about corporate structure and web development. Despite losing my freelance status for a while, I would love the chance to talk to you more about how the web can work for you. But even if you just want to talk about Lost, the latest tech, Christianity or anything that fits your fancy, shout me a holla.
Web Development
Building a website is more than just putting together a pretty face. It must be quick, easy to use and consistent across all browsers, yep even IE6. Plus, you gotta think about the user experience and how the site will guide them to the ultimate goal. I bet you’ll click on this. See, it works. Now continue on to see what I’m learning and what it takes to build a site capable of making a sale, creating a click or is just plain fun to use.
Search Engine Optimization
Regarded as akin to shamanism or the Loch Ness Monster, SEO takes its place among those things thought to be a hoax. Well think about this: You probably found my site through a Search Engine, right (except you Mom). Getting to the top is easier than you think but it requires dedication, decisiveness and above all, a game plan. We’ll figure out what’s right for you and your business but I will warn you, you’ll be the same as an ethereal when we’re done.
Social Media
Sure, facebook is a ridiculous fad that will never last, but guess what? They just topped 400 million users and are the most traveled site in the universe. You may think it’s a ridiculous, or maybe you’re obsessed, but social media is imperative for those wanting to reach as many consumers as possible. We’ll determine the right strategy for you without being a stalker. Oh and that other fad, Twitter, 80 million.
