A site is unified in form and function when it gets its message across in a beautiful way. It should be pleasing to the eye without distracting from the content. First time visitors should find the interface intuitive, and no content should ever be more than two clicks away from any other location.
A text-based page is a fast loading one. Compared to images, text loads quickly, and proper design make sure that a page look the same on all browsers. This entire page is 172kb, including all the images and every last bit of content. That means it takes only seconds to load, even on slow internet connections. It also displays the same on Firefox, Safari, IE8, IE7, IE6, and pretty much every browser released in the last decade. There's no reason every page on the internet shouldn't do the same.
From conception to final setup, a designer who knows how to listen can remove all pain from the process of getting your own website. The most important step in the creation of a page happens before a line of code is written - dialog. The most beautiful and elegant piece of clothing ever made is useless if it's in the wrong size, and similarly, each page is only helpful when it meets your specific needs. Whether you have only the vaguest idea of what you want your site to be or you have the exact API for your preexisting database, communication is vital.
Though new to the professional side of things, I'm fluent in a wide range of programming and web development languages, ranging from simple Javascript to the full power of python-delivered SQL. From simple front pages to the Drupal content management system, I can help you decide what you need, and then deliver it.

This page best viewed in open source browsersActually, that's not just a philosophical view - despite decades of development, Internet Explorer still doesn't display most pages properly.
