I build, improve, and repair websites.

Need a new website, an older one modernized, or something fixed that stopped working? I focus on clear, useful sites that work well on phones and are straightforward to maintain.

New website design
A clean, practical site built around what your business does, who you serve, and what you want visitors to do next.
Refresh or redesign
Keep the useful content while improving layout, navigation, mobile presentation, clarity, and overall appearance.
Repairs & troubleshooting
Forms, hosting problems, broken links, confusing layouts, slow pages, login trouble, and the things that “used to work.”

You’ll get straightforward answers. If something is not worth paying to change, I’ll tell you.

A site you can live with

Your website should be yours.

I do not mind clients learning how their own sites work. In fact, I am happy to teach you the routine parts so you can make everyday changes yourself.

Manage routine updates Learn how to change text, add images, update links, and handle ordinary content.
Understand the basics I can explain hosting, domains, files, page structure, and what is safe to change.
Call me for the hard parts You can manage what you are comfortable with and still have technical help when you need it.
DIY is welcome

Want to build or maintain some of it yourself?

I can help you plan the site, get through a difficult technical problem, review what you have built, or teach you enough HTML/CSS and site management to make sensible changes without depending on someone else for every edit.

Experience behind the work

Broad technical experience, used where it helps your website.

I have worked with many web, graphics, programming, and interactive technologies over the years. They are tools I can draw on when useful—not a list of things you need to understand before hiring me.

Website fundamentals
HTML, CSS, responsive layout, forms, code validation, META information, hosting, domains, JavaScript, and PHP.
Design & media
Banner and graphic design, image preparation, animation, SVG, special text, and other visual material for the web.
Custom & interactive work
XML, browser-based tools, programming, data-driven pages, interactive 3D, VRML/X3D, and unusual one-off projects.

How working with me works

1) Quick review
We look at what you have, what you want, who the site is for, and what is getting in the way.
2) Simple plan
I recommend a practical page structure and scope without turning the job into a larger project than it needs to be.
3) Build, review & handoff
You see the work early, we adjust it, and I can show you how to handle routine updates yourself if you want to.
