Services

I deliver graphic solutions that are usable and accessible so that my clients can be more profitable. I provide publishing solutions for clients quickly and affordably and specialize in dynamic, interactive websites using the open-source PHP framework. Below is a list of common features included in my web design packages.

Content Management System (CMS)

Do you want to manage your own website and avoid contacting your designer every time you need to make the slightest change?  I use open-source content management systems like Drupal and WordPress so that you can add fresh content to your website by yourself, on your own time. You don’t need the skills of a professional web developer to change pages, add products or text, images, or links at your own convenience.

E-Commerce Solutions

If you need to sell your products online, your website can be enabled to sell a handful of handmade products or manage hundreds of products. I install easy to maintain shopping carts that integrate with PayPal, Google Checkout, Protx, and other online payment options. This will also allow you to manage your inventory and purchase logs, sell downloadable products and subscriptions, and tag your products so that they register with search engines, drawing more traffic to your site.

Search Engine Optimization

In order to ensure that people find your site, it is critical that it be created in a way that enables search engines to read and index your content. During the design process, I will do everything I can to ensure that your site is accessible to search engines, and to help you think through the keywords you’ll use to improve site traffic. Search engine placement is a very involved and often political process, so the results cannot be guaranteed. There are, however, many things we can do to help your site become as accessible as possible to the public through search engines.

Corporate Identity and Brand Design

A good brand name is one of the most powerful marketing tools a company has.  It’s not enough for your company to offer a great product or service. To get ahead of the field, today’s competitive marketplace demands that business owners establish and develop a distinct brand.  Your corporate identity is your public persona, and includes both your core business values and the graphics and products you display to the public. It is important that all of your media be cohesive and consistent, so that the public recognizes your brand and associates it with positive experiences.  I can help you coordinate your various media design elements so that you present a recognizable brand to whatever target audience you are trying to reach.
