Michael Is Fantastic To Work With
Yes, Michael is a highly skilled website designer - the site he built for our nonprofit looks fantastic, and the navigation is logical for the visitors to our site. Just as important as his web designer skills, however, are his skills in working and communicating with you on building a site that works and looks great. Michael spoke to us in non-technical terms (or explained the technical terms to us when we needed to know them), and is just a great communicator in general - something you don't find every day. If you're looking for someone to help you build a great site and to enjoy the process, look no further.

The Thought of Building a Website Is Daunting...
...but, it is not so if you work with Michael. Under the guidance of Michael, we were able to take little steps and we reached the goal line with an amazing site. Michael is a great communicator and was able to take the geek language out of our conversations and made it very easy for us to follow his lead. He is very organized, and articulate. He would follow up with great notes and met our deadlines and fulfilled his commitment to us to give us a site that was easy for us to manage and maintain. Thank you very much for the learning experience and for our great website.

How A Simple Approach To Problem Solving Changed My Entire View Of Business
About a 1.5 million years ago in tech time, aka the ’90’s, I was in charge of global internal tech support for a company now called DaVita Healthcare. It was my third such stint as a tech support implementer in my 20’s. Each facility had its own Local Area Network (LAN) with PC’s and print servers, and lots of opportunity for things to go wrong. There was no internet-based networking, so to access each facility’s LAN we had to use a dial-up modem. Pushing updates to the computers in these facilities was difficult. It would have been absolute mayhem except for something my boss at the time taught me: The Price-Waterhouse Problem Resolution Protocycle (PWPRP).

How To Make A Custom Website Expensive To Maintain
I’ve been building websites since 2002. As WordPress and other platforms have evolved, many businesses take their websites into the “Application Design” realm. These are websites where WordPress (or some other platform) is the starting point for programmers to implement custom code that transforms the website into a web application specific to particular business needs….
Sparechange.systems
Sparechange.systems is a custom designed website built for blogging and e-commerce. The website’s product offering are PDF downloads that contain financial guidance content. The brainchild of John and Judy Ellsworth, this website divides its content across three major categories of time, money, and energy.
The design came out of numerous conversations and ideas I had while consulting with the Ellsworths, and it was clear they wanted a fiscally conservative look with a modern edge.
What Does Good Customer Service Look Like?
Most people know lousy customer service when they encounter it. In the world of website ownership, where you are largely at the mercy of technologists such as web developers and web hosting providers, the question of good customer service becomes as important as the technology used. In fact, it should be the number one question…
Designing Websites For Client Usability
Learning the technical steps for managing the content on your own website can be frustrating and tedious, even if you are a little technically inclined. Web designers can ease this pain by considering what their clients must learn to take control of content, including images and video. While a content management system (CMS) promises to make this as easy as possible, the web designer’s build approach ultimately makes all the difference.
