WEBSITE DESIGN & REDESIGN
I have been designing websites for artists and organizations since the late 1990s and am familiar with legacy systems, including html hand coding, Dreamweaver, Flash, CGI and more. Since then, I have learned many of the new Content Management Systems (CMS) that use Responsive Design - web pages that resize seamlessly between phones, tablets, and larger computer monitors. I have trained and worked on WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and more; learned WordPress’ php language, and have created websites on Squarespace, GoDaddy, and more.
I can work with you to create a new website or update an existing legacy website, through a comprehensive process that includes:
Initial contact to discuss your vision of how you want to share your work.
Completely new design, or assessment of your existing website pages, images, text, look and feel, options for migration, and best interface to use.
Estimate of costs with varying options and sliding scale, development of contract with all work specified.
When approved, develop new site, work with you on review of final drafts, complete all uploads and technical steps (404 pages, password protected pages, training, and more - as needed).

COPYEDITING
I was trained in copyediting and writing in my doctoral program, and work with a very experienced copyeditor and writer on copyediting for artists and academics. Together, we provide the following services:
Preliminary read through of project to grasp the scope of the manuscript, familiarize ourselves with language, terms, and the voice of author. Develop an estimate of costs.
Detailed copyediting with work on grammar; writing mechanics; section, paragraph, and sentence structure; removing redundancies and wordiness; improving clarity; and more as needed.
Confirming information, sources, adding detailed comments and questions, and proofreading as needed.

PROJECT TECHNICAL ADVICE
I provide technical advice to artists and clients who need help understanding the technological options available for the projects they want to work on. After a discussion on the aims of the project, I draw on my extensive knowledge of technological interfaces, platforms, and components; research and prepare an evaluation of the different technical approaches, options, benefits, issues, and costs. This saves artists a lot of time and even more money.
I have worked with artists who have sunk thousands of dollars into apps or interactive electronics, with no tangible results. Without a technical advisor, artists sometimes cannot manage these aspects and budgets spiral out of control, and deadlines are extended until the project is abandoned.
This can all avoided! I have extensive training in online solution systems, electronics, coding, programming, and much more.
