Internet Consulting and Web Architecture Services
The Internet can be a complicated place. In order to take full advantage of all the Net has to offer, it sometimes helps to have a knowledgeable guide who can advise and teach. There are also times, especially in Web Design and authoring projects, when it is more economical to "hire it out" than to produce a site with your own "in-house" resources.
Consulting
My years of experience in helping individuals and businesses use modern technologies effectively is available to you and your business on a consulting basis. I have broad experience with:
- IBM PC and compatible hardware and communications peripherals
- Data communications software and Internet applications
- Digital Photography, scanning/OCR hardware and software, and popular imaging software
- Windows 95, Unix, and Linux operating systems/environments and utilities
- Most popular business, productivity, and Web authoring software
- Web site usability, promotion, search engines and directories
I take special care to "keep it simple" if at all possible, to emphasize the cost effectiveness of proven technology over "bleeding edge" developments, and personalize my services to each client's needs.
Consulting Rates: $65.00 per hour
Web Architecture Services
Designing and producing content for the Web requires a unique combination of technical skill and creative energy. Many Web projects by "accomplished designers" perform poorly and are ineffective because of a failure to understand the medium, appreciate the needs of the client, and accommodate the Web visitor.
Other technically marvelous projects end up hard to read or generally unattractive because of a failure to respect the simplest aesthetic principals of color, shape, and page layout.
A careful balancing of the technical and artistic concerns discussed above, and adherence to budget the client has allotted for the project, are my principal design goals for every web site. From the simplest one or two page "advertisement" site to more sophisticated multi-level/multi-function sites, I will deliver cost-effective designs that you find appealing and useful. Web architecture services available include:
- Web site design and page creation, HTML authoring, and web page/site publishing
- Custom graphics production and preparation/optimization of photographs for the web
- On-site digital photography at your location, scanning/optimizing of digital photos for the web
- Copy writing and editing of existing copy
- Site maintenance and modification of existing sites
- Adobe Acrobat® PDF file production
- Redesigns and "makeovers" of existing sites
- CGI Scripting for interactive site features including form processing, mail list management, forums, database maintenance and other custom web applications
- Web Site Hosting
- Full Site maintenance
Web Architecture Services rates are determined by the nature and scope of the project, quoted in advance, and based on a labor rate of $65.00 per hour plus expenses and materials where applicable.
