WHY HIRE ME

I have a lot of experience creating websites. I've been making websites since I was 12 years old.
I will cost less than other providers because I have little overhead. I'm a freelancer and will outsource to my trusted team on demand as needed. This company structure naturally allows me to charge less.
I'm fast and efficient. No corporate slow turnarounds.
I can have a conversation without suing "tech talk" to listen to what you want and explain things so non-techies will understand.
I use the latest web technologies so your websites are modern using CSS style, tableless designs, javascript, ajax, etc.
I communicate very well and will understand want you want.
I'm willing to travel where you are.

PHILOSOPHY

The design, colors, font choices, layout needs to look awesome, attractive, beautiful, and impressive.
A visitor should know what this website is about or selling in general in less than 3 seconds.
The layout and user interface needs to be easy to understand. Keep pages clean, use space, less options is better, focus attention, don't clutter.
You should always know where you are now and how to get to where you want to be with good navigation function and indicators.
Must have a clear call to action.
Try not to use Flash. It's bad for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), slower, and not compatible with iPhone and iPad.
Usually implement some sort of Content Management System (CMS) making it easy for you to make changes to website content.
Don't waste time developing a script/program/features from scratch if there are good, affordable existing scripts that already exist. For example using Wordpress blogging software instead of writing a new software for that same exact purpose.

Informational Websites

This is a website that gives information about the company. For example if the company is a restaurant, you would want a website that tells about the restaurant cuisine, the location with a map, some photos of the food, the menu, etc.

Your website is your online image. And for many people it could be their first impression of your company. With an attractive design, and easy to understand user interface, and a clear call to action you can get new customers or strengthen your relationship with your customers.

WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT SERVICE

Need to develop a web application? A web application is like a software program on your computer except that it works over the web and internet thus making it easy to access anywhere you have an internet connection instead of needing to install software on each computer. A lot of software development has been navigating to this approach because of the benefits of making applications web based and increased availability of high speed internet to the people of the world.

The key to a good web application is user interface. User interface design and a good structure to your processes and data will make the web application run smooth and easy for both management and customers.

If you have an idea, an end goal in mind that you want to achieve, it's not good enough to just hire someone who has the "technical" skills required to program something for you. Even though the goal is the same, there are many different ways to approach a web application in developing it.

I specialize in project management and discussing your project with you to figure out exactly what you want, and then using my technology experience to develop the best plan for development and layout the structure of the web application and database. I also will layout the user interface. These two key steps in the development stage are the most important and will determine the fate of the rest of the project. After this the plan just needs to be executed by good programmers followed up by good quality assurance testing.

I can provide my services as a consultant to setup a web application development plan so you can complete the project with other preferred programmers, or I can manage the entire development of a web application from start to finish.

Internal Business Applications

A web application can be developed for use internally in a business. Just a like a program you use on a daily basis or a spreadsheet you use. Sometimes the best environment for an application or program for your business is on the web even though you are not using it as a world wide customer web application.

Your web application can be developed so that it is secure with user names and passwords controlling access by only the employees you want to have access.

One of the best parts about developing a web application for your company is rolling it out is easy. Usually all computers in a company already have an internet browser and internet connection. If you start to use a new web application, there is no installation process by system managers necessary, no new license software costs, etc. Instantly the application is available to everyone in the company.

Some examples of an internal business web application is a program that tracks inventory. Or maybe a customer service information database. This web application could hold valuable information about your customers that you would like all employees to easily have access to. Or a scheduling program. You could develop a scheduling software to make your employees schedule, maybe hundreds of employees with several different departments, all integrated into one software program. And then develop services that allow your employees to be able to access their schedule information online from home with their secure login.

Since I have a background in working in the film industry and hotel industry I have a good understanding of how businesses operates. I understand the need for programs to be intuitive and easy for all employees to understand. I understand employee turnover issues. I understand the need for communication and information to be consistent in a company. These skill sets will make it easier for me to understand your needs as a company or operation to help you develop a web application for your business that will really help you. Either reducing human error, cutting cost, or saving time.

Consumer Applications

Want to develop a new web application service to offer to the general public and consumer market? Creating a web application for your new services makes it easy to reach new customers because all they need is an internet connection. They don't need to go through the hassle of buying your program, downloading it, installing it, and then hopefully having the right technical requirements in their computer. Web applications can be used by anyone with an internet connection. You also can control piracy issues. People can't copy your web application and then give it to a friend. They signup to use it and that's the access they have. Since all the files are on your own server you maintain control by only allowing the customer access to the front end service and not the files that create the service.

The key to a good web application is a good user interface. Especially at the consumer level where you hope you can develop a web application that does not require any training and is intuitive enough for the customer to start using it right away and learn as they go. This is my goal when creating a user interface. Make it simple enough to use with no training necessary and have a good experience.
