Overview
Responsive, mobile-first website design is one of my specialties. My experience encompasses the entire creation process, from conceptualization through final design to markup. I have developed branding elements including fonts, colors, and logo; wireframed sites and furnished visual design; prepared images for responsive display; and coded in HTML and CSS.
I am an adept user of WordPress and have provided training in the system.
For my site, I originated a theme in WordPress using the Bootstrap framework, added functionality in jQuery, exported images for various browser widths, and marked up all pages.

I redesigned the existing content of this web tool according to WES’ newly established branding and wireframe; I also gave CSS specs to the developers.
(Note that WES has made changes to the live site since I created these designs.)
