Professional Experience
Designing web sites is a passion. As a computer expert, I've given lectures, taught classes, written books, and conducted research, but nothing satisfies my curiosity for technology, arts, and electronic media like web design. Taking a simple concept and turning it into a quality marketing device is my singular goal, and I relish each step in that process.
I am expert in using both PHP-based Open Source content management systems, such as Joomla/Mambo, WordPress, OSCommerce, or HTML to build store fronts, brochure-type, and blog sites for non-profit and small-business clients.
