Accessible and interactive websites that meet your needs and expectations.

About the Developer

I have extensive experience in website design and development, web accessibility, and web based content management systems. I work with popular open-source systems such as Joomla and Drupal to create W3C XHTML 1.0 and CSS 3.0 standards compliant and accesible websites.

I have also worked for Library and Archives Canada on the Canadian Digital Information Strategy . The initiative aims to improve access to digital information and establish a national infrastructure for the preservation of Canadian digital heritage.

I hold a Master’s degree in Information Science , a Bachelor's degree in Arts, and an Honours degree in Social Science from the University of Western Ontario.

I work and live with my wife and children in Ottawa, where I enjoy meeting friends and clients for some fair-trade coffee.

Services

I provide wide range of services, from designing simple brochure or medium size website to implementing database driven content management system. Whether you need a brand new website or redesign your old one, a shopping cart or an events calendar, I will offer the most cost-effective solution to meet your needs and expectations.

My Design Approach

Your Visitors are Most Important

Rich graphics have become an integral part of Web 2.0 trends in design, but images and graphics alone are not the reasons why visitors come back to a website. Even the simplest of websites should offer to visitors the following:

well developed and organized content
well structured and intuitive design
ability to locate resources, services, or products quickly and easily

Accessibility

I design accessible and flexible websites that meet your needs and expectations. The separation of content (the XHTML code) and presentation (the CSS styling sheets), in compliance with current W3C standards, makes the web increasingly more accessible to people with disabilities.

Web Content Management System

Content Management System (CMS) allows you to update content and manage files on your website with ease from any computer, wherever you are. At home or in the office, using intuitive administrative panel and WYSIWYG editor, you can add or take down parts of your site without having to fiddle around with the code that drives the site and its presentation.

I have concentrated only on a handful of the best, open source, content management systems such as Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress. Whether you run a small business site, an online store, a magazine, or a large non-profit organization I will provide you with the best solution that meets your needs and expectations.

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization (SEO) should not be an add-on expense, but a part of well planned and executed web design strategy. It should include appropriate use of headings, meta tags, alternative text for media, xml sitemap, and above all a design which separates content from presentation.
