About Justin
Ideas, Designs, Strategies and Software.
I'm an experienced web designer and marketing pro that creates web applications, web sites and strategic marketing plans. I offer consulting to ensure your site fits in with your business' broader strategy, as well as hands-on production tasks like design and front-end development.
Common Questions
- I'm thinking about using a web designer (or company) that has worked in my industry before. Why would you be able to help me?
- Because I've worked for many kinds of clients, I know that generic solutions don't work for everyone. I place emphasis on understanding your business goals and target market, then making recommendations to meet your specific needs.
- How are you a web designer and a marketing person at the same time?
- Good question. I've been in lead marketing roles and project management roles but those are simply parallel skill sets. Knowing the entire life cycle - how to research, create a marketing plan and execute the production - allows me to make better decisions from minute one.
- So, you do all the work when building a web site?
- Almost, and only when it makes sense. I'm not hardcore in back-end development like Cold Fusion, PHP, Ruby, or ASP - but, I know people that are and I utilize them as necessary..
- You obviously work with big brands and large businesses. Will you work with small businesses and start-ups?
- Sure, I do it all the time.
- What if my budget is really small?
- Then you will get less, but what you get will be quality. It really depends on your model. The best thing you can do is to create a plan for growth - I can help you with that.
- Do you host web sites?
- Yes. Though it isn't always the case, I prefer to host the sites I build. My rates are reasonable, too.
- I want to be able to update my site myself. I won't have to pay you to change every little thing right?
- That's not a problem, but - there might be limits on what can be changed. An initial discovery process will answer those questions.
- Do you use Wordpress?
- Sometimes. Wordpress or any CMS selection is dependant on the needs of the site.
- Do you have experience with bigger content management systems?
- Yes. Some enterprise class systems, a couple of custom systems and a couple of open source ones as well. The differences are terminology and architectural philosophy.
- What about CRM?
- Yes - Zoho, SugarCRM and a couple of custom CRM's.
