Heya,
How's it going?

There's a lot to know about a web developer for hire


Web application development is a smart field that covers a lot of breadth and a lot of depth. There's a vast range of skill level and ability that falls under the umbrella of hirable. Here are things worth knowing when considering me for your project:


The genres of technologies and platforms that I work with:

With mastery of a handful of fundamental technologies and a few choice platforms, I have the ability to create a massive range of web-based applications.

  • HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the veritable backbone of the standards-based web.
  • Relational databases, including MySQL and MS SQL Server.
  • Classic ASP and PHP.
  • iPhone web apps.
  • Ruby on Rails.
  • WordPress.
  • XML, JSON, SOAP, and other varieties of glue technologies for integrations.

Why my clients love me:

Here are a few of the reasons why small companies and large corporations entrust their web development projects to me:

  • I'm bi-lingual: I fluently speak geeky tech and business savvy, meaning I know well the right tech tricks that are available and I represent well in the board room.
  • I've spec'd out literally over 1,000 web development jobs, so when I name a price and a timeline for them, it's accurate.
  • I don't ever come back saying that this thing I'd agreed to is going to cost more. If I were to underperform and take more time than I thought, that's my problem and I don't make it theirs.
  • I don't waste their time making them explain their needs any more than necessary: things don't get lost in translation.
  • I know when to circle back for clarifications when ambiguities arise, and I get a lot sorted out in a 5 minute phone call (as opposed to a 10 email volley).
  • I reduce typical months' or weeks' corporate dev cycles to weeks or days.
  • I'm interested in how the project affects their bottom line, and bother to learn enough to know how to maximize that effect.
