In addition to custom website creation and maintenance, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and Flash work, I offer the following services:

Content Writing: Interestingly, I have found that clients struggle more with content creation than any other aspect of pulling a website together. The challenge can seem comparable to crafting an odious, end-of-semester, term paper on your least favorite topic for your least favorite teacher. Where do you begin? How do you end? What do you say in the middle, and how? How do you spell all those words? How do you punctuate those sentences? If you feel overwhelmed by the task, I can help. If you need your content written with SEO in mind, I can do this as well. However, please note that there is an entire cottage industry devoted to SEO content writing. If SEO is crucial to your business model, you would be well advised to seek out a professional who specializes in this area.

Copy Editing: Once you have submitted your content, I will look it over for misspellings, grammatical errors, logic and clarity and make trivial corrections. There is no charge for that service. I consider it an inherent part of the process of website creation. However, if you would like me to edit your content to the degree that I would be rewording your material, that would be considered as additional labor.

Blog or Forum Customization and Integration: If you would like to incorporate a blog or forum into an existing site, I can customize it to match your design and link it into your site. I can also customize a stand-alone blog or forum.

Help with Templated Sites: So you've gotten yourself into hot water trying to use one of those instant website generator tools. Things don't seem to look and work the way you expected? Gradiance Design to the rescue!

Search Engine Optimization(SEO): SEO has become a cottage industry of its own. If you need to pursue an intensive web marketing campaign, you need the services of a company that specializes in SEO. Warning: these services carry a high price tag. However, if you are not in a highly competitive market, sometimes a little fine tuning can make a nice difference in your search engine rankings. This I can do.

Web Graphics: Need a background or a button or a banner or a collage? Do you need a web-ready version of your logo?

Photo Editing: Did you take photos yourself that could use a little adjusting (i.e., editing out the cat's tail, lightening, darkening, removing color cast, resizing, compressing, etc.)?

Site Repair: If it's broken, depending on the cause, I may be able to fix it. I'd certainly be glad to take a look and offer an opinion.

Site Maintenance: Does your existing site need a little freshening up or modification? Maintenance can be performed on an ad hoc or regular basis.

Paypal Integration: If you are selling a product or service on a relatively small scale, I highly recommend using Paypal for payment processing. Using Paypal saves you the expense of hosting your site on a secure server and spares you the potential liability associated with gathering and storing sensitive data (like credit card information). Most web visitors are familiar with Paypal and feel safe using it.

Encoding of Your Design: Oh ye talented graphic artists who are code-averse, bring me your work. If Dreamweaver is giving you fits, my handcoding will soothe your fevered brow.
