Hire Me

Here are the ways I can help with your project:

Content Management System (CMS)

A CMS is the software that powers your website. There are thousands of CMSs to select from.

Here are the main CMSs I’ve worked with:

Blot - since 2016

Concrete - since 2011

Directus - since 2015

Static Site - since 2016

WordPress - since 2010

I’ve been working with Content Management Systems since 2009.

Communication

Complex website projects need good communication between the manager, designers, developers, consultants, and, of course, you!

It begins with Developing Your Communication Plan.

I’ll keep you in the loop, with as much or as little detail as you prefer.

I’ve been working in communication-rich fields since 1983.

Content

A great website has to have great content. It needs to share things people will find worth reading. It needs to be carefully written and organized.

Whether you’re building a new site from scratch or improving an existing one, I can help with content organization, sitemap building, and content creation, proofreading, and migration.

We can start by considering the key questions together: What do you want your website to say? and Five essential aspects of a great website.

I’ve been writing official content for the public since 1983.

Contracts

A contract is a binding agreement regarding mutual responsibilities between two or more parties.

For a web project, you will probably need to sign a contract.

I’ve been writing and signing contracts since 1983.

Design

An effective website is gorgeous and contemporary. It is rich with artistic beauty. It is expertly designed.

I can walk you through the Design Process for a Website.

Then we can get a designer. A designer must be talented and knowledgeable about emerging trends, techniques, and usability standards.

I’ll manage your designer(s). Or I’ll suggest one suitable for your project.

I’ve been working with Designers since 2011.

Development

The most useful websites not only look good, but also have code that is fast and reliable. An expert Developer can create and customize software that will do exactly what you want.

I’ll manage your Developer(s). Or I’ll suggest one suitable for your project.

I’ve been managing Developers since 2011.

Documentation

Larger projects often require documentation so new people can jump in quickly.

I can create help documents, Handbooks, manuals, screencasts, presentations, and reports to make sure no details are forgotten.

I’ve been writing official Documentation since 1983.

Hosting

If you want a website, you need a server.

The main way to get a server is to rent one from a hosting entity. You select a hosting entity. And you make the key decisions, none of which are simple.

I’ve worked with a lot of hosting entities. Here are the ones I select for myself:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) - since 2015

liquidweb - since 2013

I’ve been working with Hosting entities since 2009.

Anything worth doing usually involves many complex steps. Breaking a project down into phases and steps, deciding on realistic timeframes, assigning tasks to implementers, and making budget estimates - all these parts of project planning can be laborious.

But careful planning is a must for any successful project. It is called Project Management, and it is what I can do for you!

Let’s do it right, so we get it done. Let’s turn your dream into a winning game plan!

I have graduate-level training in Project Management.

I’ve been working in Project Management since 1983.

I have worked full-time managing web projects since 2011.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Successful websites are carefully optimized to rank highly at search engines.

Search Engine Optimization is both an art and a science.

I’ve been working in Search Engine Optimization since 2011.

User Interface (UX)

Your website must be pleasing to your visitors. It must be easy for people to figure out how to use it.

The best User Interface is achieved by iterative testing.

I can test your website and work with your Developer to optimize it. This begins while your website is being built, and it should continue after it is deployed.

I’ve been working in User Interface since 2011.
