My Web site development work is all hand-coded; no WYSIWYG tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage are used. This allows me to create custom Web site solutions not available to those using common development software. It also results in more efficient code that is easier to maintain.
When working with many of my clients, I not only act as the developer, but also participate in the overall Web site strategy, project management, and design consulting. This ensures a smoother overall process that minimizes the chance of unexpected roadblocks as the project concludes.
The following is a detailed list of my front-end Web site development skills and qualifications:
- Advanced implementation of HTML, JavaScript, and the Document Object Model (DOM) that is compatible with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and other major browsers on various platforms
- Advanced implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to create Web sites that separate form and function to allow easy updating of content
- Complete compliance with the XHTML 1.0 Transitional and Strict guidelines as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
- Strong knowledge of the Ajax (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technology of accessing server data and dynamically updating a Web page using manipulation of the Document Object Model
- The use of generally accepted techniques as set forth by the W3C to allow accessibility to Web sites for those with disabilities
- Experience with all aspects of digital imaging, production, and retouching using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
