…besides the obvious
Well, its obvious that I build websites but to really get to know me is to what I do, but specifically the how and the why I do what I do. I started web development as a hobby and a way to be creative. What I do is simple: “I build websites that work!” To be more specific I write the code, I design the database, I make the site usable by all person types. Web development is not a job its creative flow and passion that I enjoy to do. On my free time I build web applications that help me, my friends, my clients, and hopefully you run your business easier. I am in the process as well as I have completed online applications such as: Client Management, Task Management, Project Management, Invoicing, Bookkeeping, Rosters, and others. This is FUN!
How I Do It
I started out web design and development like all web developers. I started with HTML then as years progressed so did technology and now we build websites with xhtml, css, and javascript. But I don’t just design websites I build web applications. After years of experimentation and playing with all kinds of web application frameworks and languages I have come back to my first love, PHP. I have been programming in PHP as long as I have been developing websites but have ventured out into Ruby, Python, and other linux based server side languages. I have even experemented in Cold Fusion, ASP, C, C++, C#, and all kinds of other Microsoft languages that I stay far far from now. I am what most people would call a LAMP developer: Linux Apache MySQL PHP.
Also, with the amount of huge experience I have with working with applications and frameworks I build all my sites, applications, and plugins in an MVC structure. MVC stands for Model View Controller. To learn more about MVC click on this link: more about MVC. This is a very important structure of programming that keeps me fast, efficient, clean, and agile.
I cannot forget to mention that with today’s technology I build all my websites, applications, and plugins with AJAX. AJAX is a beautiful system to allow sites to function smoother, faster, and with less page loading. This allows my applications to feel similar to a desktop application.

Finally, to build websites with content management and easy integration I use an open source development software called WordPress. With WordPress I can create and add custom plugins to bring your website to a fast result of success and upgrade the features in the future with no costs on your side. This means when my plugins get better, smarter, faster, and more efficient then you can upgrade for FREE! You can’t beat that. Also millions of people on the web are using this agile system and are finding great results as well. WordPress allows us to build strong SEO Friendly and user friendly websites and we ALL need that. In fact this website was built in WordPress!
…so that’s how I do it.
