I creatively guarantee an eye-appealing, clean coded, and well functioning finished product.  I am a free lance web designer, specializing in small to medium business, and hobby websites. No job too big, no job too small. Custom styling, unique imagery, and highly functional sites are my specialty. (references provided)

In a world of push button technology, why not personalized your web experience? Reflect your own voice, your own brand. Express your own unique image!

I can help you track "unique visitors" or "page views. A pageview is each time a visitor views a page on your website, regardless of how many hits are generated. Pages are comprised of files. Every image in a page is a separate file. When a visitor looks at a page (a pageview), they may see numerous images, graphics, pictures etc. and generate multiple hits. It is important to realize that not every page view (aka: hit) is an actually read by a human being. Most page hits are from search engine spiders, email harvesters, page change checkers, and heaps of automated services where the page is not actually "read" by a human. Yet another reason why you should ignore boasts of "hits" that websites claim in their advertising spiels.

The World Wide Web Consortium, the standards body for the web, has developed modernized and consistent, web and coding standards, allowing browsers and web developers to reduce costs, increase accessibility and build a better web for all. Good developers utilize good standards. New coding techniques guarantee much more useable, browser friendly, maintainable, and upgradable sites… saving time, money, ensuring an up to date appearance, and a functionality tailored to the changing needs of your visitors.  Getting the issues right to begin with, can save you many, many dollars over the life cycle of your website. Getting it wrong could cost you money, as well as fewer initial and repeat visitors.
