About Me
I am a freelance web designer and consultant based in Burlington, Ontario Canada (that’s just outside of Toronto).
I work with people who are excited about the business that they are in. I help them design elegant, focused, well-crafted websites.
Here’s my take on using the web to your advantage...
I like to help emerging businesses understand all of the possibilities that the web has to offer. I believe that most small organizations don’t fully understand how they can take advantage of the web to promote, collaborate, streamline, sell…
Today, these types of things are not ‘unachievable’ for an emerging business or a 1-woman/man show. In fact, it’s how many emerging businesses can really get a leg up.
It’s possible to do with smaller budgets and limited resources. You just need to use your imagination and have a plan.
How I help… (coding web sites)
I code web sites. I’ve been at it since the mid ‘90s and I’ve kept up with the changes that have been going on in the web-world. My skills are up to date.
I believe in creating well-crafted web sites that hit the nail on the head. I build web sites that are standards-compliant (which means they are not bloated with unnecessary code, will work on all browsers and devices, will load fast, and are easy to update).
How I help… (part 2 - building sites that work for people)
In past lives, I have spent time working for large organizations in Human Resources, and Corporate Communications. These experiences have made me more well-rounded and give me the ability to understand your business context.
I sit with clients up front to really get a handle on their business, their challenges, their goals. It’s this up-front work that results in a site that aligns with their business. Clients then also get a web designer who can work well with them long after their site has gone live.
What I’m looking for in a client...
I love to work for people who are excited about what they do. They really want to get involved in the planning, design and development of their web site. They want to continue to make it better long after their site first goes live.
I like clients who have big ideas, make decisions quickly, and aren’t afraid to try new things.
If this sounds like you, and you need a web site, or want to improve your existing site… get in touch with me.
