Effective Web Design

It makes sense.

I am a web designer and programmer. I create websites that make sense. There is a reason behind every decision.

I design smart and elegant websites using clean code. I believe in adhering to the latest web standards. Images are thoughtfully placed. Forms are well designed. There is nothing over the top. Everything has its reason for being. All this naturally leads to an effective website that makes sense, is visually inviting and is simple to maintain.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)—How useful is a website if nobody can find it? Think of the last time you did a Google search: how many pages did you scroll through? If no one browses to the third page, then the site is not doing any good sitting there. Using organic techniques will improve the chances of your website being ranked well and, just as important, ranked for the right terms.

Social Media—The world of marketing has changed with the advent of sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and foursquare. Videos go viral overnight [United Breaks Guitars]. News travels across the web before any other medium [Michael Jackson's death]. Social media marketing is about building a fan base and creating connections so that you can communicate directly to your audience. After all, word-of-mouth is still the most effective way of reaching out.

In addition to websites, I also design other media such as print brochures and video slideshows. Just in case you were wondering.
