Since You Asked...

I've been asked to clarify just exactly what I do with websites. Do I design and build them? Well, yes, I do, but only under duress. I got an A in my web design class, and passed my html certification, and I've built a couple of sites, but I don't think that qualifies me as a web designer. I have higher standards than that.

Essentially, I'm a web content provider. I write websites -- an average of one a week -- and other types of web content, including blogs and marketing pieces and articles and all manner of things. I also provide photographs for people, and even video if called upon to do so.

Mostly, I do this for web design firms and companies with their own IT and art departments and teams. However, about 25-30% of the people who come to me for this type of work don't have IT and art departments. So I also facilitate the building of web sites. I have a nice team and an efficient process that gets sites live within a few weeks.

Here are some of the sites I've done in this way:

Little Kids Preschool website
with designer Jeff Wain

Liquid Dispatch website
with designer Tom Hapgood

AAUW website
with designer Jon Schleuss

A Plus website
with designer Jeff Wain


with a template


by myself

Then I also work on existing sites, either making changes directly or sending instructions to the IT department, and I also do online marketing of various kinds.

Now you know.
