Wilson’s designWorks offers a variety of services.
Front-end Web design & development
I design the stuff you can see, the user interface, colors, layout, sometimes I also write the words. I am not a web programmer by any stretch of the imagination, though I am familiar with javascript, php, actionscript (in Flash). I’ve worked on development teams closely and know what’s possible with these technologies, so I subcontract the heavy-lifting programming tasks if there’s not an open-source alternative. I’m very familiar with Wordpress, which is my Content Management System (CMS) of choice due to it’s ease of setup, use, flexibility and extensibility. I can set up a Linux/UNIX-based web server with the required stuff (PHP/MySQL) and get things up and running, too.
Web site hosting
I also provide clients with web hosting services. Since I host client sites where I host my site, I am very familiar with the hosting system and know it’s capabilities. This enables me to offer a comprehensive web services package that doesn’t just provide a design for a web site. I can help with setting up email accounts, blogs, calendars, mailing lists, wikis and more. I take the hassle off your hands. If you are interesting in hosting, but not design services, I’m glad to offer that as well! Just email me at hosting[at]wilsonsdesignworks.com.
Graphic design
If it can be printed, I’ve probably designed it - from a tiny 1/2″ x 1/2″ sticker up to a large-format 10 foot x 20 foot booth graphics.
Copywriting
I majored in Journalism and have decent writing skills. I’m an excellent proof-reader, editor and can type over 40 words per minute!
Photo touch-up, resizing, cropping, etc.
I have the industry-standard Adobe Photoshop CS3 as well as Adobe Lightroom. Both offer amazing creative possibilities.
