Hello

I am a freelance web developer and designer with over 25 years of web development experience, specializing in WordPress, SEO, web standards, and usability. I provide WordPress support to Bounce Design, a creative agency that offers web design, branding, and marketing services to a diverse range of clients.

I create customized and user-friendly websites that meet the clients' needs and expectations, using the latest web technologies and best practices to ensure optimal performance and accessibility. I also run my own website design and development business, where I help my clients enhance their online presence and reputation, and grow their businesses. I have a passion for web design and development, and a keen eye for detail and design. My goal is to deliver high-quality and professional websites that achieve the online goals of my clients.
