Website Design

I am a web designer and also provide hosting services. I specialize in creating dynamic WordPress sites that make it easy for clients to update and maintain their own websites. I can create  online  shopping  carts, dynamic online calendars, complex event registration systems, volunteer signup systems and have integrated sites with Point of Sale (POS) systems for synchronized  inventory  and online purchasing. I am confident installing, editing, and maintaining jQuery, php and SQL scripts and databases. I can optimize websites for SEO (Search Engine Optimization.)  I have designed  and  implemented  HTML  email  newsletters. I have very reasonable hosting and design rates.

Below are a few examples of website projects I have tackled.
