Design is more than just making your website look good. It’s about strategy, the user experience, trends, best practices, and about creating a design and layout that works exactly for your brand, and your audience. Everything from planning and strategy to the final Photoshop file (PSD) for your website’s design is included.
I create semantic, organized, and SEO-friendly code that is also up to standards, ensuring your website works in a wide range of browsers, is fast, and utilizes best practices. I can bundle web design and development services for you, or I can turn a PSD you already have into HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
I also create WordPress themes, bundled with my design services or given a design file I can convert it into a fully-functional WordPress website. I have experience ranging from the simplest blog websites, to large-scale and content-heavy websites. I can also do theme customizations if you already have a pre-made theme in mind.
There seems to be a different type of client for every situation in web design. Everyone seems to want something unique with their own ideas, and as a freelancer or solo-designer otherwise, it can be difficult to maintain consistency for each new project. Even more so, it can always be confusing when it comes to [...]
All new web designers, developers, or whatever are excited to take on their first client. I remember my first client years ago, and how ready I thought I was to take on the world. (Or at least the small startup I got to work on.) When I got more into the project, though, I realized [...]
When it comes to managing my finances, I’ve always been a fan of Dave Ramsey’s methods. He’s helped countless people manage their debt, eliminate it, manage their money, and build wealth from then on. What’s really great about his methodologies though, is that while they’re great for the average employed worker, they’re even better for [...]
Setting goals is so important to running a business, especially one that is solely responsible on one person to help it grow and succeed. Yet, how many goals do you make in a year that go unnoticed, unaccomplished, and that ultimately fizzle out due to lack of motivation or other causes? Setting goals and striving [...]
When you’re self employed, you don’t just manage a business. You don’t just manage your time. That’s for employees who have another person breathing down their neck. When nobody’s in charge, except for you, in order to keep a business alive, growing, and the money coming in, the thing you need to manage best is [...]
Part one of this article was everything that needed to be covered before any actual work began when jumping into the world of freelancing. Learning, planning, and getting your business set up were all included. Now, in part two, I’ll go over what to do now that you’re organized and (overly) excited to get to [...]
I don’t think I’ll ever move completely to the concept of ‘client-less freelancing’, but it is something that I’d like to pull in a large stream of my income from someday. Simply having the ability to take off a few days from working if I’d like without stressing over deadlines would be nice. Having a [...]
Freelancing is a great career choice with a lot of freedom, which is part of makes it so appealing, but also a career choice that takes a lot of work to get started and to maintain. Because it is a challenge, many freelancers before me have created their own guides, books, set of resources, and [...]
