About Me






Services

Web design and development is something I have a passion for and take seriously as a profession.

Since graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in Corporate Communications, I've continued educating myself about today's web standards and best practices. Rather than join a traditional agency after college, I decided to maintain self-employment status as a web designer while also pursuing my music career--I'm also a professional drummer and have been in love with music since the age of 4. (My parents were traveling Vaudeville performers, so as you can imagine, my drive to pursue my art has been nurtured for quite a while!) 

After college I spent 8 years living in beautiful Ithaca, NY and now live in the New York City area.  I have been designing and building websites & online businesses for more than 10 years now.

In addition to web design & development, I'm a professional drummer, kayak instructor, outdoor education guide, and I love to hike.

I love what I do, and I work hard to get better at it each and every day.


What's Adobe Business Catalyst?


Adobe Business Catalyst is a revolutionary online business system which saves YOU, the business owner, time and money.

The way I look at it, a website is a considerable investment, and it should provide you a return. Whether that comes in the form of leads which become paying clients, or direct sales, will differ based on your field. But the bottom line is that the days of just "having a website" are long over. You should be thinking about what you want your website to do for you, right?

I consider it a professional responsibility to stay on top of the latest technologies in use on the web today. Bottom line, Adobe Business Catalyst is the only system that gives you all the integrated tools that will make your website into an Online Business. It combines the powerful elements of customer management, payment gateways, eCommerce shopping carts, email marketing, analytics and much much more, all within something you can easily update yourself. Best of all, it's easy and inexpensive to scale it to meet your needs. Not ready to open a store yet, but you'd like the option down the road without starting from scratch? Done. Want to send monthly email campaigns, but you want to build your mailing list first? No problem.

Upon completion of your site, you will receive custom training videos that show YOU how to edit YOUR site. I record them myself, they will tell you what you need to know to manage your site, and you can reference them whenever you want. If you need someone to support your site once it's launched, or train your staff each quarter to keep them up to date, I can do that too.

Pricing


Not unlike building a house, the cost of designing and building an online business is variable. It will depend on the goals and scale of your site, your time-line for completion, and my availability.

A design customized specifically for your business and built on Adobe Business Catalyst typically starts at $3500.

Comprehensive eCommerce solutions require more time and customization and typically start at $5000.
