Welcome!  Thank you for stopping by and checking out my profile.  I am currently working as a freelancer full-time.  I specialize in Programming but can also do Redesign, Illustration, and Logo work. I am highly skilled in CSS, XHTML, XML, and rather savvy in PHP.  I also work with DHTML and Javascript but they are not my forte.  I like to implement AJAX when appropriate for faster website response.  For backend administration, MySQL is the choice for database.  I can take pretty much any script or application and modify it as required.  I have developed a couple of sites for large, state/national level organizations, small businesses, professionals, authors, and artists/illustrators. 
I'm here to help you!  I can implement Social Networking sites, RSS technologies, calendaring systems, custom/open source Content Management Systems (CMS), and create scripts that will make your site very intuitive, responsive, all while keeping the code nice & simple.  If you have a project that deals with Gree issues I'd be glad to give you a great discount.  I am a big proponent of Green construction, Green non-profits, Green products, healthy & organic produce, and eager to help anyone who wants to get their Green message on the Internet.I Look forward to hearing from you.

Things you need to have in mind when contacting me:
1) Yes, I am located in the US and I do speak, read, and write fluently in English.
2) Do you own the domain name you'd like to use for your website.  No work will begin until a domain name is setup as it is crucial for any website.  I can help register your domain name(s).
3) Do you have a hosting service already or do you need help obtaining one.   I can help!  Most domain names are included at no charge if I help you setup hosting service.  No work can begin until a hosting service is established.
4) Do you have a rough idea of what you want your site to look like?  Do you know how you want it to function?  Which elements (member profiles, shoutboxes, polls, scrolling/fading images, RSS feeds, calendars, etc.) do you want on the site?  I can help you design the site but this will require a design fee/increase in project hours as well.
5) Do you have a business plan already?  Often times, clients do not foresee possible business opportunities from setting up their website.  I can help show you some of these opportunities which may increase your sales/site traffic.
6) If you are working through a client of your own, keep in mind that I do not wait on your client with regard to payment.  When you hire me you are expected to pay for services rendered prior to the project or a portion of the project being transferred to your server.  I do not wait on you getting paid by your client and then you pay me.  If this is an issue we can talk about it but from past experience I know the problems this can cause.  
7) I do not work on 'sandbox' servers located on a clients machine.  I work on my own server(s) while the work is being completed.  I then give you access to the account to follow the progress.
8) Projects that have a very strict timeline may result in an extra cost.  Developing a website takes time, a lot of testing for cross-browser/platform compatibility, design implementation, and tweaks required by you or your client.  My schedule may also play a role in this unless you've hired me to work exclusively (e.g. full-time, >30 hours/wk) on your site.

Note: $12/hour is my minimum, I cannot go lower than this amount.  However, I am flexible with NPOs and other charity groups depending on the project.

I look forward to speaking with you and hopefully can help with your project.  Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile.
