Vision:
I believe that web design is an artform. You cannot just throw a bunch of stuff together and call it a website. However, there must be a balance between form and function. Everything on the page must have a purpose while contributing to the visual asthetic appeal of the site. Excessive javascript, while it may make things look a bit fancier at times, slows down page load times and increases the likelihood that certain browsers will not be able to display the page correctly. Therefore, I always try to do things with basic HTML and server-side scripting before resorting to throwing in a bunch of messy javascript. Also, I don't believe in using HTML-generating programs like Frontpage. I write ALL of my code (both HTML and PHP) using a standard text editor like Notepad or Pico. It's MUCH cleaner that way, the page therefore loads faster, and you have a lot more control over the specific content of the site. I have always held the opinion that the only excuse for using an HTML-creator is a combination of laziness and incompetence. I take my work much too seriously to allow for that in any of my designs. And finally, I believe in doing a great, professional job at a reasonable price. I will never waste your time by contacting you if I don't think I can do the job you're asking within the budget and timetable you're asking. And I won't ask for payment until you are satisfied with the job I did.
