I have been designing web sites since 1999 when I started creating gallery sites on Canyon Road in Santa Fe. Since then I have worked with countless platforms and configurations in web design and implementation.
My focus is on Responsive Web Development and SEO, specializing in Wordpress and CMS websites as well as traditional HTML sites.

What makes a great website?
A great website is one that effectively serves its purpose and provides a positive experience for its users. Clear, easy to use, and bring the user forward to whatever purpose; obtaining information, making a purchase, proceeding to more content, etc. It provides compelling content and/or visual interest and clear direction to keep the user involved.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are your goals with the site? Do you have example sites you would like to emulate? Have you assembled content: Text, Imagery, multi-media etc? Any rough layouts or pallets? Do you have a general scope of the content and what pages you might need? What is your timeline? Do you have a domain name or hosting arranged yet? In the spectrum from heavily involved to letting your developer run with it, what level of involvement are you expecting in the design process?
What do you love most about your job?
I am happiest when all my design efforts, web experience, and attention to detail come together resulting in a website which exceeds the client's expectations and serves the intended purpose.
What inspired you to start your own business?
While working for a University as an accountant, I began creating webites for art galleries on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM. Inspired by challenge of conjuring up a a site out of thin air, I began taking all the digital design classes I could with my free tuition waivers.
Why should our clients choose you?
My base of experience is very broad, both in web design and implementation, as well as marketing, content creation, and taking care of the myriad of details and the occaisonal technical roadblock that one encounters in setting up a website.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am able to provide all my services remotely. I am also able to meet or collaborate in person in my areas of North and Central New Mexico and Southern Colorado as needed.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
The web development process is by its nature easily done remotely, so no special precautions were necessary other than in the occaisonal person-to-person interaction.
