Does iPhone Make Your Site Look Fat?

Probably.

Does it matter? If your customers want smart phone access to your information, you might think about presenting a version of your site in an app or narrow format designed for the tiny screen. I can do that for you.

Adding features to your internet presence is a business decision. The first thing we will do is an analysis of your business and your online objectives to see if a mini-version is likely to enhance your bottom line. If yes, we will proceed.

Why hire me? I will save you from spending your money on inept or short-sighted solutions.

NEWS

I'm learning exciting html5 and .css3 approaches to making your internet presence responsive and modern.


STANDARDS

My skills are consistently up to w3c standards for modern browsers My code and .css validate. I use management systems that are equally up to date and known by all professional site managers.

Standards compliance and validation have cost implications for your business. The system I set up today is good to go now and ready to upgrade with minimal fuss in the future. There are no idiosyncracies to cause start-up problems for new managers who might take over site maintenance at some future date.

PROBLEM SOLVING

The time commitment factor for you and your IT team is short.

The major problem solved by adopting a content management system is that changes, additions and updates are a matter of clicking a button or two. The major reason that it is not done when requried is that the learning curve for new systems is steep.

I already know how to use the systems. I can show you quick and easy ways to decide on a preliminary structure and then show you all the tricks available for automating the tedious, time-consuming details of keeping your site current. Your team can operate the system while learning it.

 

PERSPECTIVE

You can expect practicality and efficiency.

Transition to a new system is similar to moving household accumulation to a new house. Think of all the reasons for hiring a professional mover. They all boil down to a single objective: seamless transition. The same holds for hiring a professional to move your web files.
