Secure Applications for the Web

I'm an independent website developer with eight years of experience building commercial web applications for clients of all types.

My technical strengths are in web database and email integration, with an emphasis on security, in PHP and ASP.NET. Though I am not a graphic artist, I create handsome site designs using the web standards of clear XHTML structuring and tasteful CSS styling. Building upon those standards, I work with clients to bring new customers and interested visitors to their sites through search engine optimization.

I seek and cultivate ongoing, trustful working relations with satisfied clients. I've developed tools to ease the integration issues inherent in collaborative development. I debug, support, maintain and extend what I build.

I believe that the essential lesson of the past decade of web development is that, whenever possible, large web applications are best developed incrementally, producing a usable, testable, deliverable application at the end of each development phase. Experience has shown that user requirements will change, often dramatically, over the lifetime of an application; incremental development offers the opportunity to embrace the changes and develop a truly useful product, rather than force a single large project through to completion with minimal feedback from real people.

An added benefit of the incremental approach is that the client can work closely with a single developer over the life of a project, building trust in the process.

Referrals

My business depends upon referrals. I am actively seeking referrals to serious, professional web development clients. I offer a 5% commission on my total billing, for the first year of work, for a new client who contacts me on your recommendation. References and business cards are available upon request. Thanks!
