Web design and development
I characterize my approach as high-touch because I work with
you in the way you want to work, at whatever degree of detail works
best for your schedule, availability, and level of knowledge and
interest. I can and will explain as much of it to you as you care to
know, cheerfully and patiently and with respect.
In other phases of my career I’ve practiced and managed
development and marketing in many areas of the software, computer,
and Internet industries. I have a degree in physics and English and
have been a technical writer and an award-winning technology
journalist. My eye for design and aesthetics is rare in one so
technically hands-on. My love of well-structured code and embrace of
web standards were honed by years in the
trenches of software development and documentation. I’ve
been on the Internet since before there was a web.
I work on either an houly or a project basis, but much prefer the
latter: everyone is more relaxed when there isn’t a meter
running. Upon completion of a web project, I’ll either turn
everything over to you, or stay in the loop for maintenance and
upgrades, at your option.
