Who is Ian?
I am a technology consultant who loves to build websites. With years of experience in industry standard tools and programs, you get profressional results and a website you can be proud to call your own.

Why should I hire you?
Any web developer worth who's worth their salt will tell you that it takes more than just an eye for design to get a site live and keep it running. You need a jack-of-all-trades - someone who can design and build your site, then coordinate with advertisers, integrate your web application, fend off hackers, add iPhone functionality, get your email working, and teach you how to manage the beast. In terms of compatibility, my sites are not released until they are fully W3C and Section 508 compliant and work seemlessly in popular browsers.

Run it yourself.
You don't need to know code to keep your site up-to-date. I'll build your site on a content management system of your choice, or if you don't have a preference, we can find the one that's right for you. In a nutshell, updating content is about as easy as sending an email.

The extra mile.
Even beyond the construction of your site, I stay on call to make sure everything runs smoothly. Outside of contract, I will still provide your content management system with updates, and rescue the site from hackers (it happens).

What can I do for you?

Website Creation - Create a site from scratch, tailored to your design and functionality needs.
Clean-Up - Fix that messy code of yours.
CMS Installation and Customization - Install a CMS and either create a custom template or provide a pre-made template.
Joomla! Tutoring - Private lessons on the powerful, flexible content management system.
Design Integration - Make your design concept a reality.
Graphic Design - Anything from logos to user interfaces
