Hi, my name is David. I've been developing websites since I launched my first online publication in 2003 after going to school for photography.
I love working with clients to find solutions within their budget and timeframe: whether it's a custom job designed from the ground up, or making a website look great on an established content management system (CMS).
After two decades of experience working in digital media, I believe that mindful design leaves a lasting impression.
I'd love to hear about your project so we can strategize how to make it impactful and elevate it to the level it deserves with a plan that works for you.
I've designed and developed sites for small businesses, journalism blogs, artist portfolios, non-profits, and digital art installations to name a few.
Some were handbuilt from scratch with complex data relationships on content management systems, and some were standalone static websites that required no upkeep, but all projects are built with a mobile-first approach.
If your project needs photography services, these can be included in your estimate.
I can shoot everything from headshots, events and business tours to product photography with my Nikon DSLR and 2 Paul C Buff Einstein studio strobes.
Storytelling is powerful, and sometimes video is the best method.
I have edited documentary film and trailers, digitally archived physical DV tape footage, and also am capable of DVD authoring (if anyone still uses those).
Discoverability is essential. I'm happy to work with clients to get their websites set up on Google Console paired with proper meta tags, sitemap structuring, and copywriting to improve their page rankings using best practices.
If you need email or social media templates that deliver an on-brand experience for your customers to inboxes and handheld devices, I can create assets that work together.
Whether it's restoring a website from a database backup, a lost website from a snapshot, transitioning to a new CMS, or leaving paid systems to serve static HTML websites free of overhead, I can help.
