As a freelance web designer with a background in sales and marketing, I understand the difference between "just a website" and "a powerful marketing tool". Getting the right one developed for your company isn't about programming languages (such as PHP, Perl or Python) or cutting edge graphic animations (such as Flash or Silverlight). It's about delivering content that meets the needs of your customer, whether it's with stunning visuals or simple, well-written text.

I am focused exclusively on small businesses in the Okanagan Valley. That way I can meet with my clients face-to-face and develop a strong understanding of their customers. It also means that I am easily accessible to clients for updates, maintenance, or any other needs that may arise.

Some of the reasons you should speak with me are:

• The only deadlines I have are those set by my clients.
• I provide an effective alternative to costly design firms.
• Pricing is determined at the start of the process based on the scope and complexity of the project-not the total punch time on the job.
• My first computer was an IBM XT with an 5Mhz Intel 8088 Processor.
• I invoice only after the project is complete and my clients are truly satisfied.
• I offer hosting, updating, and maintenance services.
• I can consult on your online and offline marketing strategies.
• I met my wife through the internet.
• After high-school, I developed a successful automotive website and was selling advertising space to the US Air Force and GM Card.
• I write clean code and articulate content for effective websites.
• Each website I develop is hand-coded to strict XHTML and CSS standards.
• I first visited Yahoo! in 1995 on a 14.4 modem in the library of my junior high school.
• I am in my third year of a bachelors of commerce degree (majoring in marketing) through the internet with Athabasca University.
• I "Googled" before "Googling" was cool.
• I test every website I design with all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and consider my services for your website needs. I encourage you to contact me by phone or email to arrange a meeting to discuss your project.
