Frequently Asked Questions

Are You Looking For A Full-Time Position?

No thanks. I’m currently employed and do this for variety and a little side money.

What Is Your Availability?

This is always a tough one… I choose projects that fit in with what’s going on in my life at the moment. I could be having a heavier work flow with my day job or my responsibilities to my family might be more than normal. On the flip side, I could be sitting on the couch playing nintendo — who knows!

As a general rule of thumb, I’m available or will be shortly. My time is booked on a first come, first serve basis, but please remember that this is what I do in my free time. If you have a tight deadline let me know up front, you might be able to bump yourself up the list if you are very cool to work with or your project is especially interesting to me.

Do You Know XHTML, CSS, Flash, ActionScript, JavaScript, PHP, XML?

For the most part, Yes. I specialize in building sites using web standards and also love to design. I also work in Flash/ActionScript but choose to use it sparingly because of the benefits that come from using web standard coding. I have a good amount of experience with JavaScript and feel comfortable writing my own scripts as well as navigating around others. In terms of backend programming (php, etcetera) I am familiar with it, but I will work with backend programmers on the more complicated projects.
