Web Design and Development Skills and Proficiencies

Web Design

First and foremost I market myself as a web designer. While I have other marketable skills, it is web design that I enjoy the most. From the typography of a navigation, to the layout of a contact form, I am entirely involved and devoted to my designs. I am up to date (sometimes to avoid) the latest trends in web design. I have a good sense in the relationships between/among elements on a page, which carries over to complete web sites.

 

Content Management

The internet has exploded with user-friendly ways to manager your site without needing to know any kind of code. This means that you can update, change, and add new content yourself, which makes things quick and convenient for you. Programs like Joomla and Drupal give you this freedom for the first time. Using Joomla or Drupal, I am able to create either a skeleton of a site that you can then manage, or create your whole site within these systems, then giving you the ability to update whenever you please.

Front End Development

While design is an art, development is a science, and I’ve excelled at both. I’ve found it much easier to know how to code sites I design, so that the work does not NEED to be passed to someone else who may not understand the intricacies of design. Whether it is HTML, CSS, Javascript, or something a little more involved such as PHP, I know the latest technology and versions, and provide the development of your site as well as the design.

 

Shopping Carts

It’s very rare that you can find an e-commerce business out there without a shopping cart like Zen Cart or osCommerce. Using PHP technology, you are able to track orders, list and update products, and keep tabs on shipping and inventory, all from a friendly user interface. I can help set up your shopping cart, from creating the databases needed for your products, to skinning a design that is exclusive to your online store.

Tools of the Trade

These days there are numerous tools and programs that designers and developers use. The following are programs I use on, if not a daily, a weekly basis, and am highly proficient in.
