James A. Mathias’s Summary

Hello, friend!

I'm accepting small to medium sized freelance projects, to supplement my full time income with Paramore|Redd Online Marketing.

James A. Mathias’s Specialties:

I design in Photoshop and code with Textmate.

I use HTML to structure my web documents, CSS to add a layer of visual presentation, a dash of JQuery to add a client side behavior layer and lastly I use PHP/MYSQL to add some server side automagic(tm) to dynamically generate new and fresh content.

I believe in web standards, accessibility and usability, I employ empathy and understanding of the technology.

In addition to web ninjutsu, I'm a competent and talented writer and illustrator.
