Semantically Correct Web

I write HTML and CSS by hand and I use proper HTML tags for the semantic markup. I don't use software to generate code which often creates wrong semantic markup. My code is extremely intuitive and allow clients to easily find the content to edit. It also translates better compatibility among browsers and better search engine optimization.

HTML5 Ready

html5 ready I code using HTML5 which allows superior backward and forward compatiblity across popular browsers.

Table-Free Designs

While tables are extremely useful for providing tabular data, it's often abused as layout tags which is not semantically correct. I am fluent in CSS and have the ability to convert PSD or visual layouts while keeping HTML semantically correct. View my source code and you'll not find a <table> tag in it.

Mobile Development

iphone The most overlooked part of web development is designing for mobile users and that means huge loss for potential viewers. In fact, mobile users outnumber PC users by 4 to 1! Many mobile users prefer mobile-formatted websites on their mobile devices because they're easier to navigate. It allows them to find the data they are likely to look for such as address with link to Google Map, phone number where they can click to make a call, and email from the site. Yet at the same time, users can easily switch to the desktop site if they wish to see the full site. HTC

Some websites don't even show up correctly on mobile devices. Don't leave them out! Contact me if your website needs to be formatted for mobile devices!

WordPress

If you need a custom theme for WordPress, I am the guy for it. Just provide me the PSD or I can design a theme. I can also set up a shopping cart.

Web Programming

Fifteen years ago, I started web programming with Java. Now, I program using PHP since it is quite simple and I enjoy it. If you need some help with PHP programming for your website, you've come to the right place.

Code Optimization

I do code optimization for existing websites. It's no secret that most websites are left with excessive source code which significantly slows down the performance. My most extreme case involved optimizing the code from 250 megabytes to a mere 2 megabytes without changing the website's appearance or functionality!

Secure eCommerce

I've successfully set up ecommerce with several gateways such as First Data (formerly Linkpoint) and Authorize.net.

I can customize eCommerce and make it work with your website. You definitely can count on me who has ten years of experience to do the ecommerce setup. Depending on your budget, it can be set up to connect to Paypal to a complex gateway that allows you to process transactions transparently without ever going to their gateway websites.

How do I know if my website is optimized?

Great looking websites do NOT mean it's well written, in fact, many websites are poorly written with several hacks and use inaccurate semantic markups. In order for search engines to index your website well, your code behind the website has to be well structured with relevant semantic meanings for them to understand and index them accordingly.

To see if your website is valid, you can validate your website at validator.w3.org. If you get excessive errors, then it's time for you to contact me!
