I started web design about four years ago, when my love of computers and some free time led me to build a site for one of my hobbies. Once I saw the possibilities for expression and design I was hooked; I spent countless hours in front of at least one of my computers (if not both) learning and doing as much as I could. Once I felt I had a good understanding I started building sites for friends that owned businesses to get my name out and it worked like a charm, but this was still just a hobby for me.
A year later i was injured at work and found myself back in school to obtain a degree in programming and internet design, how ironic is that. So everyday I am building or coding something, or designing layouts and logos! I see a bright future in this industry, for myself and my customers.
Throughout this site you can find examples of my work, links to sites I have created, and my general education and experience background. There is also a listing of the services that I provide. Feel free to use the contact form to get in touch with me to set up a consultation or ask general questions. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you soon!
I began attending Wor-Wic Community College in the Fall of 2008 to obtain an Associates of Applied Science degree in Computer Science. My main focus is Programming and Internet Design but I hope to also leave with a second Associates in Networking. Along with these degrees I will leave with at least three industry certifications.
My education background is not the flashiest as of right now, but my dedication and work speak for themselves. My hands-on experience surpasses that of my education, which you will see if you click the "Projects/Examples" tab below.
My ultimate goal for education is to obtain a Bachelors in one of these three areas of study: Networking, Programming, Business. This will allow me to have a stronger grasp on my future.
- I used the Drupal CMS and bridged it with PHPBB forums, fully modifying the files.
- I custom built the theme for Drupal and added enhancements.

- We started with using the Elgg CMS and fully customized it, creating widgets etc.
- Out of the box this CMS is very buggy, and took a little work to get right.

There are other sites that I have created but I feel these show different aspects of using both a CMS and going from scratch from start to finish.
I currently offer design and hosting services, as a package and individually. As a package, I can build your site, host it, and maintain it-payment would be three parts. A fee for creating and designing the site, a fee for hosting it, and a fee to maintain it. This is cheaper than just the individual tasks. Fees are as follows:
- Design: $50/hr
- Hosting: $8/mo
- Webmaster: $20/mo
Package Fees
- Design: $50/hr
- Hosting: $10/mo
- Webmaster: $35/mo
Individual Fees
These prices are subject to change depending on how complex your ideas may be, and webmaster duties entail normail maintenance. Anything beyond normal maintenance would require an additional fee.Feel free to use the contact form on the site to send me an email and I will reply shortly.
