Front End Web Development and UI/UX Design
I began my web career by rating ad placement and UI/UX for Google. Assessing over 500 sites a week gave me a keen appreciation for functional design, and I now make usability the foundation of my development process (see portfolio for more). Content is the right place to start, but ultimately, appearance directly influences how people interact with your site; balancing quality content, design, SEO functionality, and interactivity from the outset is the key to successful web development.
Social Media/Web Consulting and Maintenance
In my former life I was an educator, which explains why I was recently voted the 8th Most Social Media Savvy Prof In America. Nowadays, my talent as explainer can help you decide which web sort of presence (blog, traditional site, or social media) best serves your needs, whether your current website is communicating your brand, and what strategy is best for your social media. My "big picture" approach and constructive feedback can help you formulate the best solution for your time and communication style, and if you simply don't want to be bothered, we can talk about a retainer plan for social media or website maintenance. Check out my consulting page for more on what I can do for you.
Wordpress Help and Development
My experience with Wordpress began when I was looking for a blog platform. After examining many options, I decided Wordpress was best -- but still, not exactly intuitive to non-programmers. Understood properly, Wordpress is a cost-efficient way for people to manage their own web presence, and my teaching experience means that I can help you understand, as well as communicate complex technical concepts in normal human terms.
