All-inclusive service. Web site creation, design, hosting, and management. I set up sites for individuals, organizations, and small businesses. They can be sales, information, promotion or awareness oriented. You can also showcase your portfolio or profile. I also set up blogs and forums. I can host them on my commercial web hosting account or you can take on that responsibility. I have experience with advertising, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), social networking, blogging, and media handling. I am a Washington DC local. In addition, I handle graphics production and photo manipulation using the best tools available. I strive to make clean, sophisticated, and highly respectable websites.

I am a strong advocate of using free, open-source software, reducing the cost to you. Software like this has extensive technical support and customizing capabilities due to its non-proprietary nature and backing by true enthusiasts. Here is a short list of what I recommend: Joomla for a CMS (Content Management System), Wordpress for a blog, and SMF (Small Machine Forum). I can register your custom domain name privately or publicly, and list myself as the administrative contact to field all questions related to the website. I am very vigilant about monitoring my email addresses and phone. My rates are not the cheapest that you will find because I am not a fly by night operation that produces cookie cutter products. I offer quality, legitimacy, and customization.

I can also demo your website for you here

You can also contract me for individual services such as graphics production, media handling, photo manipulation, hosting, management, design, alteration, site reviews, content management, content editing, ads, or monetization.

I use multiple computer platforms and operating systems for development. I can check sites on laptops, desktops, and my Blackberry 8820, using Windows XP Pro, Windows 2000, Ubuntu, and Fedora. I also check all work in all popular browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Opera mini, and Lynx (text only browser) for maximum compatibility I use high-end computer equipment including this 24” 1920x1200 Samsung SyncMaster 2443 BWX monitor  attached to a custom-built powerhouse PC. Additionally, I use another custom-built desktop and 3 laptops in order to produce and check all work in multiple screen sizes including 19” 1280x1024, and 17” 1280x800. I use Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection (CS4, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, Bridge, etc), screen rulers, and color sampling software to create everything. I have two local servers that I use to develop everything before it goes live. I do all of this to ensure that you have the latest features available to you.

I can maintain a backup of your critical files as well if you wish.

I set up my commercial hosting accounts on Linux servers in order to obtain the best service and greatest amount of features. I have experience with PHP, HTML, XHTML, CSS, and MySQL databases.

If you want to use a free mind mapping program that I use to plan out my sites, go here.

I can also connect to your computer using the free Crossloop program to physically show you how things are done. Available for download here.

PayPal is my preferred payment method for long distance payments.
