design philosophy

minimalism for maximum effect.

I make websites that step out of the way and allow your message to speak for itself. It's really that simple. I prefer subtlety — attractive web design doesn't have to be flashy, cluttered or garish.

clean, flexible code too.

This site is valid XHTML Strict. See for yourself. It also conforms to the accessibility guidelines laid out in Section 508 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act.

Well, why does that matter?

Building to the most stringent standards available for serving Web content ensures that your message gets through to your audience, regardless of how they browse: on a cell phone, with a display of any size, in a screen-reader, or even in a text browser^†. Who actually still uses text browsers? Many folks, from scientists to students. I don't overlook the needs of any part of your audience. This attention to detail also ensures Web sites that load faster, cost less to host and serve, scale well, and are easier to maintain.
