Web Work
Since 19998, I've worked in the web industry as both a designer and a developer. Over the past four years, I've focused my efforts and energies on design, specializing in standards, accessiblity and usability.
Current Projects
I am currently working on several on-going projects as part of my full-time job as a Web Designer, as well as a few freelance projects in my spare time (what's that?):
- Online newsletters
- Corporate web site
- Email campaigns
- Corporate intranet
- Reseller site design mock-up
You can view more of my work from the links available in the left navigation. Or you can take a peek at some of the print projects I've done over the years — not my strength, but fun work all the same.
Archived Projects
You also can take a look at any of the work I've saved in my web archive. Most of these projects reflect the "old school" approach to web design (lots of tables, lots of images; not very accessible or usable).
Nonetheless, I think they are useful to keep as a reflection of my growth as a web professional. There are also a handful of web development/programming projects in the archive; not something I currently specialize in, but the basics are like riding a bike …
Playground
I think it is the nature of any good web professional to be continually honing her/his skills … or maybe it is just me and my unnatural addiction to my computer.
Either way, I've created a playground where I can try different things out before implementing them across my site or any of my work-related projects.
Web Expertise
As I've mentioned, I'm a huge proponent of web standards. For those not "in the know," check out the Web Standards Project or the Web Standards Group for details on what this means.
So, to do my best to support web standards, I am continually working to perfect my skills with and knowledge about:
- Semantic XHTML
- Cross-browser CSS
- Microformats
- XML
- XSL
- Unobtrusive JavaScript
- Ajax
- Cross-client email design
- Information architecture
- User behavior
- Accessibility
- Usability
- Writing, editing & formatting content for organic SEO
