"Hi, I just LOVE the look of your new web site! It is very easy to navigate. The graphics are attractive and compliment the content. Download times are fast. The color scheme is very soothing to the eye. The new content & links are very interesting!
Great job!!"

This is typical of the reactions we are getting. Good work Steve!

Web design and construction

As websites have become more and more critical to doing business, the technologies and skill sets required to create them have multiplied and deepened. If you are a large corporation and need a voluminous site with online transactions, databases, and content management, you may well need a large development team with a wide variety of experts.

If, on the other hand, you are a small or medium sized organization and need a site that is user-friendly, attractive, easy to find, easy to read, easy to maintain, and technologically current, consider the benefits of doing business with a single, experienced consultant.

Sample projects

Links are to current, live websites.

Hanford Applied Restoration & Conservation is a licensed general engineering and landscape contractor working in central and northern California. The company specializes in wetland mitigation and restoration, stream construction, soil bioengineering, revegetation, park construction and erosion control. I designed and built this new web site, which is extensive and content-rich and features a nifty DHTML image viewer.
Society for the Social Studies of Science
This scientific society needed a totally redesigned web site with a modern graphic design and restructured navigation. I produced all components of this project. A different photo appears each time the home page loads. Editorial contributors use an inexpensive content management system to keep the site up to date.
Lee Graham Corporation
Here is a low-budget but attractive web site I designed for a local pool association. Board members maintain the site themselves with easy-to-use software.
Defense Intelligence Agency Enterprise Acquisition Support Center
The attractive header was designed by Bill Pragluski. I built the site entirely with CSS for maximum standards compliance and forwards compatibility. Two versions are maintained, for classified and non-classified networks.
Alley Cat Allies produces a wealth of information, products, and services for people who are interested in the welfare of feral cats. They needed a sizable web site with high aesthetic standards that they could maintain themselves. With their active involvement, I produced all the components of this site, from information architecture to graphic design. The site has evolved somewhat since the initial design.
Zetek, maker of the OvaCue
A small public company with a proprietary ovulation prediction technology, Zetek needed comprehensive web marketing services to help position them for success. Their product is sold only through the web, so capturing qualified traffic is paramount. My contribution to this ongoing effort has included successive phases of web design as well as content development, search engine optimization, and press releases.
The Coffee Potter
I designed this site for my brother, who is an artist in clay. Gallery pages use DHTML to enable the thumbnail navigation and the enlargements to exist on the same page, making it faster and much more comfortable to view all the images.
Greco & Greco
This Northern Virginia law firm has a distinguished practice in securities arbitration and litigation. They needed a web site that would reflect the stature of a nationwide practice and generate new business. Ongoing search engine optimization work has led to top-ten rankings on many important keywords. I also manage their pay-per-click campaign. The latest, now third generation design features a nice Flash animation.
