Web Designer

Since 1999 I've designed, built and maintained scores of websites with thousands of Web pages, creating most of them with hand-written HTML and CSS (rather than with WYSIWYG software). I design the layouts, write the text, shoot the photos, create the graphics, produce the audio, write and validate the code to one of the W3C's most demanding spec's, and handle all the other processes that go into developing an effective site. My primary concerns are usability, functionality, and interoperability: before anything else, I do everything possible to ensure that the sites I build look good and work right on virtually all computers and connection speeds. In that spirit, I don't use Flash, Java, JavaScript, PDF, etc. Nothing benefits from an application of the KISS principle quite so much as a website.
