Website Design
I've created all sorts of websites, from whimsical to dark and serious, from light and sweet to mysterious and intriguing. I specialize in creating websites for authors, organizations, and small businesses. Please check my portfolio pages to see the range of designs I've done.
I can do straight HTML sites and more complex databased-sites. A number of my clients use WordPress-based sites so they can maintain content themselves, and I've designed a few e-commerce sites based on OSCommerce.
My rates are reasonable and I build each site individually, to give you a professional looking web presence that highlights your products and projects the image you want to put in front of the world.
Talk to me about developing a site just for you.
Repair/Redesign
Need help ironing out problems with an existing site? I'll be glad to help you with code that refuses to cooperate or graphics that look grotesque. I can work with WordPress, Blogger, straight HTML, php, javascript, and some site-template or CMS-based sites.
Need to revamp a limp, tired site? Talk to me about getting a site makeover.
Some of the sites I've created:
Blogs
Have you built or do you want to build your site around a blog, using one of the free services like blogger.com or wordpress.com? You've got a nice template, but you'd like to personalize it a bit so it doesn't look like everyone else's?
I can create a customized header for you and adjust the color scheme of the site to match it, to give you a look that's all your own.
Book Covers
This is a new service I've begun recently. Increasingly authors are self-publishing their own books or their backlist on Smashwords and Kindle. But since cover designs are generally owned by the publisher, the author needs a new cover for their electronic copies.
Check out some of the covers I've done here. If you're interested in discussing having me do one or more for you, feel free to contact me here.
Banners/Buttons/Bookmarks
I can do pretty much any size banner or button for advertising, whether static or animated. Here are a few examples:
Static Horizontal Banners
Animated Banners
Vertical Banner
I can also design bookmarks, postcards or other print advertizing materials.
Other Services
I've designed MySpace pages, eBay storefronts, Twitter backgrounds and a variety of other web-based designs. Feel free to contact me to talk about anything web-based that you need.
