I use nothing but the latest and greatest hardware that Apple has to offer.  The equipment I use in the design process includes:

• MacBook Pro 2.33ghz Core 2 Duo processor with 2gigs of RAM and a 120 gig hard drive
• Apple 20" Cinema Display for dual-monitor work, maximizing my productivity, which means faster completion time on your project
• Once the site is complete, the master code for your project is archived to an external 250gb hard drive for safe and easy-to-access storage.
• Multi-function printer, for printing project information and scanning images, etc. for content creation.

All of this means that the best hardware on the market today is used for the creation of your site.

In the process of designing and developing the pages of your site, I use the following software and techniques:

• I hand-code the XHTML/DHTML and CSS for the site.
• In addition to hand-coding any JavaScript functionality, I also utilize the vast network of developers for ideas and code developed using the latest and greatest techniques.
• For search engine optimization (SEO), I utilize multiple tools to create unique descriptions and keyword lists for each page.  This, in addition to site registration with major search engines, ensures that your site will make it to the top of the most basic search listing.

I have great resources at my disposal, and I make them all work for you..

The power of Flash is sweeping the Web.  It allows for the display of rich text and multimedia in a compact and near-universal format.   If compact site layout is important to you, Flash can allow long columns of text and images to be rendered on your site with minimal impact on layout.  I can create the following elements for your Web site using Flash MX 2004:

• Slideshows and image transitions for smooth, cross-browser performance.
• Banner ads for use on your own or others' sites.
• Animated headers and logos
• Menu systems for your entire site

More services utilizing the power of Flash will be coming shortly..

If you wish to have a mailing list form or a message board on your site, database integration is essential.  There are many methods through which this might be achieved.  I am very well-versed in the use of ASP "Classic" to give the power of database interaction to your site:

• ASP allows users to perform searches of and view information contained in server-side databases
• Database interaction is integral to the development of blogs and message boards.
• I can design, develop and implement databases using Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005 and Access 2003.

Services featuring PHP and MySQL for database interaction are coming soon.
