Highlights

ACF 5 Pro: A customized WordPress back-end using Advanced Custom Fields Pro for intuitive content entry and management.

Custom WP Theme: A custom WordPress theme built using Foundation 5 by Zurb.

Responsive Design: Using Foundation 5's responsive grid for a beautiful presentation at all sizes.

Image Optimization: Various custom image sizes are automatically created and optimized on upload to provide the optimal experience on all devices.

Edit Anything: Everything on Jenni's site is editable and moveable. She has complete control over her content.

The Details: Attention to details is one of my finest assets. On this project, I was able to provide Jenni with the utmost attention to details: from retina ready photos and graphics, to subtle animations to keep the user engaged and interested.

Visit Site

Greetings!

Chances are you were referred here by a mutual friend (or you are holding my business card).
If so, don't be shy: Say Hello!

I work with:

small, medium and large businesses,
individuals,
non-profits,
and everyone in-between.

The hardest part of creating a website is knowing where to start and who to trust. (plus a million other questions!)
If you need help with a website and are unsure how to move forward, I can help.

If you are a freelance designer, creative agency, corporation, or other type of business or organization who knows exactly what you need, I can deliver on schedule, within budget, and without bugs.

If you think I might be a good fit for your project, send me an email with the following information:

Contact Information (who should I respond to)
Budget (how much do you have to spend)
Timeline (when does this need to be done and delevered by)
Brief description of the project or work request (brief but descriptive. I can't help you if I don't know what you need)

Testimonials

I can't recommend James highly enough.

He's a great developer and an excellent collaborator. At Jive he was a key member of the web team.

He has an excellent eye for user experience design and an interest in continual learning and self-education that is vital to stay current in our field.

James is simply one of the easiest to work with guys I know.
Matthew Beck, Back-End Developer at Jive Software

James is one of the most intelligent and thoughtful designer-developers I have had the pleasure of working with in my career. He handles criticism well but also provides excellent reasoning behind his design decisions, and can clearly communicate his ideas. Did I mention he writes clean code? It's wonderful. Based on the year I spent working with James at Jive Software, I highly recommend him.
