Sean O'Dwyer’s Summary

I'm an experienced Web designer who combines clear business goals with clean Web design.

Most often, I build sites on top of Content Management Systems like Drupal or WordPress so my clients can easily update and manage their own sites.

Other times, I'm brought in solely to work on design and presentation issues—for example to re-design a home page.

I code to Web Standards, the modern best-practice coding technique that ensures accessibility in all Internet devices (not just desktop browsers) and guarantees sites are as lean and search-engine-friendly as possible.

I'm as comfortable in a text editor as I am in Photoshop—but I also know the smartest work is done away from the computer.

My clients are corporate entities and small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, local bodies and entrepreneurs.

I'm a true specialist. I design only for the Web.

I'm based in New York but I design for companies all over the country and in Europe.
