Red House Photography provides wedding photos, senior and family portraits, as well as sports photography for Whatcom County. This site was designed using Photoshop for template and graphics and is hand-coded in PHP. I also designed a custom image uploader and content editing system specially for this site.
philosophy
I think that the process of designing a web site goes beyond simply slapping up a site. It involves an intimate understanding of each client's specific needs and finding the best solutions to addressing those needs in practical, standards-based, best-practice influenced, web design solutions.
Each project I begin, I sit down with the client and ask them to describe their vision for the site. I take notes and then spend time "learning" the project so that I understand where they are coming from and where we will go together.
Customer satisfaction is my top priority. I will do everything I can to ensure you are pleased with the project we work on together.
Finally, I believe in designing sites that meet or exceed standards for markup quality, accessibility, and usability.
