Why Garth should design and develop your web site

I have a unique combination of skills which make me well qualified to create wonderful web sites. These skills include:

HTML coding skills
I hand code clean, standards compliant HTML. This is the first line of defense against sites which only work in certain browsers.
Use of interactive web technologies
I work with a variety of programs and techniques to create interactive, interesting, and profitable web sites. These include JavaScript, PHP, and NetCloak.
Aesthetic sensibilities
Through many years of nature photography and considerable graphic design training, I have acquired an excellent sence of composition, balance, harmony, and color.
Graphics software skills
I have a detailed working knowledge of PhotoShop, Illustrator, ImageReady, and various page layout and word processing programs. This enables me to convert your ideas or your existing print document to a functional web site efficiently.
Photographic background
The low resolution of web graphics is often used as an excuse for sloppy photography or not using photos in web sites at all. In fact, the web allows good photography to look good while making bad photography look even worse. My skills in various styles of photography, darkroom work, and digital imagery enable me to get the most bang for your bandwidth.
English language skills
I have a remarkable facilitude with the english language. I've like graduated from collej and stuff like that. My speling and grammer is impeccable, I strive to never ever under any circumstances split an infinitive, my subjects and verbs always agrees, I wouldn't never use a double negative, of cource I'd wouldn't even conceive of writing a sentence that just went on and on and on and on, cuz those are really hard to figure out, they are called "run on sentences" and I never ever use them cuz that would be wrong, and of course I've never found a preposition that it's appropraite to end a sentence with.
I work cheap  Reasonable Rates
I'm used to starving. Actually, I've had quite enough of starving, thank you very much. But I can still put together a complete site, from conception through design, photography, development, posting, and publicity for less than you imagine. Well, less than you fear, anyway.


Some of my recent web projects:

I have worked on many web sites in various capacities. These sites best represent a wide range of my web work.

You are presently in a remote corner of this, my own mega site. Fortunately or not, I've had very little time to update it recently. I've been too busy working on other people's sites.
Digging Dog Nursery
This site, while visually simple, is a search engine juggernaut.
Bored Feet Press
Simple, clean, standards compliant, structural markup, php shopping cart/database...
The Mendocino Theatre Company.
The past, present, and future of theatre on the Mendocino Coast.
The Outdoor Store
A simple web presence for a small local business.
Zacha's Bay Window Gallery
I've been adding dozens of images to this pre-existing site, while improving the navigation and adding new features.
Symphony of the Redwoods
