Services
I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Javascript, PHP and MySQL to design and build dynamic websites current with the latest in web development standards, practices, and technologies. I also provide custom Video Tutorials that assist and instruct the client in the operation of their own website. This can include things like performing maintenance and content management tasks normally controlled by the web designer, thereby saving you time and money. To see examples of Video Learning Tutorials I've produced, you can visit my website The Web Learning Series.
