Web Development and Design Consulting
With over 17 years of experience in the industry, I have experience with everything from Fortune500 sites to sites for small sole proprietors. I’ve lost count of how many I’ve had a hand in – from design to programming to proposal and business plan writing.
My network of contacts includes graphic designers, marketing and SEO specialists, programmers, media and more. I can help you design a site that gives you a measurable return on your investment, from new clients to ad revenue to stronger relationships with existing clients. I can also help raise your site’s profile and get the traffic you need in order to take things to the next level.
My knowledge of design for ROI allows me to help you create sites that sell, creating brand awareness and customer loyalty through compelling content that gives your customers value for their time.
Let my personal know-how and access to other experts work for you. If I don’t have the answers I know where to get them, usually at no extra cost to the client.
Project Management and Business Analysis
The skills involved in designing a successful site require analytical and communication skills that allow one to get to the heart of the matter and focus on what’s important. Consensus-building and efficient use of human and other resources. My proven abilities in this area include:
Proposal Writing and Presentations:
I’m an expert at producing meaty proposals that capture interest and get buy-in from stakeholders and potential investors. I can explain the technical aspects of any project in language that non-technical people will understand, and assist that understanding with charts, diagrams, and visual aids that are a clear cut above typical powerpoint nonsense.
Market Research:
If your target market is online, I can deliver up-to-date statistics and analysis of traffic on all the major search engines. I can find your competitors’ sites and expose their weaknesses. I can pinpoint the business intelligence that your site needs to succeed and help you formulate a strategy that takes full advantage of it.
I can also dig up hard-to-find infromation and create "web crawlers" to pull information from other sites or aggregate data from a variety of sources.
Let’s discuss what you’re trying to accomplish, then let me suggest an approach that fits your goals and works within your budget.
Project Management:
At various times throughout my career I’ve been responsible for managing anywhere from three to seven projects concurrently, working closely with different development teams for each project.
Network, Systems Support and Administration
Through my contacts, I can get you competitive prices on brand-name computers for your business network. I can also get them set up and provide you with ongoing technical assistance from one of my colleagues.
Network Setup and Administration:
I can put you in touch with a professional with the necessary skills to suit any scale, or manage the whole thing on your behalf.
Desktop/Workstation Support:
When I’m not out taking over the world, I still like to tinker. If you’re in my local area I’m sometimes available to fix problems that may be prohibitively expensive to solve through your computer outlet. If I don’t have time, I can still put you in touch with someone cheaper (and probably more knowledgeable) than the geek squad or their ilk.
