As an adjunct to my photography business, I began learning web design in 2007. I previously relied on the web development services offered by different companies. This was very effective and I was always happy with my website. However, I decided that I could save myself some money and further myself as a business owner and as a professional as well, which is what led me to start learning web design. All websites are designed in WordPress, an open source, content management system. I currently utilize full width premium themes with the added bonus that your images are given special professional treatment in the digital darkroom at no additional cost.

First and second level search engine optimization (SEO) is also available to help your site become more visible during internet searches, as well as monthly website health maintenance. SEO is really important when it comes to making your site visible because without it, competitors could outrank you and make it to the top of the results page and get more visitors to their site rather than your site being there and claiming the visitors. To make sure your SEO tactics are working effectively, an on page seo analysis can be conducted and if there are tactics that aren't working, they can be identified and changed. I offer encouragement and organizational guidance as a natural extension of my longtime support to others reaching for new levels of life's refinements. I have learned over the years of my development as a web designer, that the beauty of a website lies in its' simplicity and organization. It is important to state what you are offering the world in a way that is easily received. No one has time to hunt for important data. I encourage my clients not to hide their assets. I also offer photographic portrait discounts to all my website clients. Click images below to view a few sample websites. I tend to be quite busy, so please do plan ahead.
