About

I have been developing WordPress websites for over 8 years, and been a developer for over 20.

I do highly precise, detailed work, converting designers’ beautiful comps into full-featured, custom WordPress websites.

I do plugin work, full WordPress PHP and jQuery development, and complete standards-compliant slicing of comps into CSS and HTML5.

I am careful and thorough, adhering to development best practices, and test all work in all the major browsers and versions, for compatibility.

I keep up to date on web design best practices, such as CSS3 and HTML5, and have a precise visual eye, having worked as a graphic designer also.

So, we got on task to make that happen. [Because Chris knew how to ask the right questions,] I brought the right person on board to advise us to what we really needed. I told my son, who’s quite tech-savvy, and he said—”That was a webmaster? I’ve never heard of a webmaster doing that. Asking that kind of a question.” So,…Ellen EatoughThe Soulful Sex Coach

Great Results, Expert, Good Value I hired Chris in Oct 2010 to build a completely new Wordpress site on a very tight deadline. From the onset, Chris was consistent and reliable in staying in communication and demonstrated superlative listening skills. I really felt he understood the project on a deep level and was committed to bringing the concept to light in the way it needed to be done.
