- I may not be accepting new clients but open to hearing inquiries, potential projects or partnerships. Feedback is welcome.
- Note: Over the years, technology has advanced and roles have specialized. So for example, if you need an artist or graphic designer, for a customized/complex logo, music cover, or model touchups, or an UI/UX accessibility expert for the visually impaired, please consider hiring an expert. For large projects, please consider a software/marketing team. I may be able to refer you if you ask.
- I value web standards – I try to build with technical design, user friendliness, and accessibility in mind. This in turn helps with search engine optimization (SEO) and visibility.
- I follow “white hat” SEO techniques instead of “black hat,” that is an outdated and still used by some marketing companies which actually risks Google bans, lower rankings, and negative news publicity.
- I will not simply throw together images, text, and code, then call it a “website”, or “web app”– there are A LOT of important technical considerations that make them useful for you and your visitors.
- If you’re not technical, I’ll try to translate in “plain English” so you can understand what you are getting. :). Some knowledge is needed to run & maintain a website or online business.

Social Media Strategies and Content Creation
- Frequent updates are essential to marketing and followers — I am open to creating posts, blogs, and content, at a rate. But like PR, it needs a full time role. I helped full time at a shop and e-commerce company with new marketing strategies that lead to sales after stale months, (and great loss due to older “black hat” methods implemented by 3rd party). Strategies included redesign, information architecture, new blog, content creation, and visual assets described below.

Web Standards
Good practice creates a quality website, reaches wider audience, increases accessibility, which also helps search engines crawl your site better. It’s important to understand that the visually impaired, may use your website too, (using special tools). Users use different browsers too (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari). It takes much time and efforts to build some cross-browser and cross-platform, so only 2+ major browsers and my recommends
