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.
