Ben Henick’s Summary
I'm that rarest of creatures, the jack-of-all-trades Web guy. I'm a good fit for prospects who value the absence of cross-talk inherent to small teams. With ten years of experience and possession of practically all of the skills needed to build bleeding-edge sites (to say nothing of plainer ones), I can and will do the work of three or four people... faster than you'd think.
Skill areas in which I can make an effective contribution to your project include HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP4, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Photoshop (post-production and optimization), site layout, IA/UX, application design, project management, and copywriting.
My last table-based layout was delivered in early 2002, for an email-marketing project.
