Web Development
Web DevelopmentWhat good is a stunning website that is not built well? My goal as a web developer is to write clean code and build a semantically sound website. I use a variety of software tools to ensure your website functions correctly every time someone visits it. Since I build all websites in WordPress, you’ll be able to easily manage your site without a great deal of technical knowledge and experience.
I also have specific expertise in key areas that amplify the websites I build including:
- WooCommerce
Premier eCommerce solution for WordPress / powers over 27% of online stores - Advanced Custom Fields
A reliable tool for building custom UI’s in WordPress - Gravity Forms
A powerful forms plugin for WordPress. - The Events Calendar
A solid events calendar add-on for WordPress
Graphic Design
Graphic DesignIf you’d like to stand out from your competition, stock photos and minimalist graphics won’t cut it. My graphic design services can help you fill your website with engaging images and icon sets that help your website stand out from the rest of your competition and create and enjoyable browsing experience for your visitors. When your website features custom made graphics, it will appear more professional and help your business become more recognizable and memorable. I keep the following in mind while I’m designing graphics:
- Colors: Color offers the most powerful visual element at a single glance. When designing graphics, I put a lot of thought into what colors I use.
- Shapes: I often use various shapes like circles, rectangles, and squares to create focal points and direct the flow of designs.
- Lines: Lines can be long, short, dashed, thick, or thin. I use them to direct a visitor’s attention in a specific direction and separate different sections of designs.
- Space: I often use “white space” when designing graphics because it can allow visitors to read text easier and eliminate cluttered looking designs.
Logo Design
Logo DesignA well-designed logo can tell your current and future customers or clients about your business through colors, shapes, and different fonts. It can also intrigue them and leave them wanting to learn more about what you do. If you’d like to make sure your business is remembered in the best way possible, you can’t go wrong with a quality logo design.
Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine OptimizationA clean, professional looking website won’t convert visitors into clients or customers if it doesn’t generate qualified organic traffic. That’s where my search engine optimization service comes in. Through high-quality content and a variety of up-to-date content marketing strategies, I can help your business rank for relevant keywords and attract your target audience. Some of the search engine optimization strategies I employ include:
- Keyword research: I’ll do research to find out what people are searching so I know what types of relevant keywords to add throughout your website.
- High-quality content: Unique, informative content can do wonders for your website’s organic traffic and rankings. I can create a content strategy for your website that search engines like Google will love.
- User experience: I’ll ensure your site loads quickly, resonates with visitors, and is easy for them to understand and use.
- Meta tags: Meta tags are snippets of code that help describe the content of a website to search engines. I’ll implement these tags so that Google is clear on what your site is all about.
