Parent Keith’s Summary
I fight the habit of gravity by utilizing both sides of my brain - my niche is the rare resolve between the technical and creative aspects of web design and web development that are often missing in many production environments. My creative and technical abilities are at the top of my field and I am always striving to expand, define and deliver a better result with every project I assume. I am very passionate about my work and I wear it on my sleeve - right next to my heart and kidney (so, please, no pointing).
I have an extensive amount of experience in utilizing and implementing various methods of the best practices and current standards in (X)HTML, CSS, PHP, jQuery / Javascript / AJAX, and Flash / Actionscript 1.0 - 3.0. I have founded and employed a plethora of techniques to create a seamless user experience regardless of formats, code frameworks and data flows.
My many years of web production has taught me the value of content placement and the relevance of a clear informational/typographical hierarchy to assist: user needs, product/service focus, and search engine optimization and placement. I am highly experienced in leveraging my clients' content to place their web site at the top of their industry's search results by accounting for common misspellings, keyword density, and harmful keyword repetition.
I have developed many Flash/AS2/XML applications for web, kiosk and CD-ROM mediums, including: hurricane trackers, dynamic screen savers, stand-alone applications, video games, image galleries, slideshows, dynamic MP3/video players, RSS/XML feed readers, & dynamic community development lot maps.
Other areas of expertise include identity/branding (logo creation, revision, visual systems, & standards manuals), Section 508 web site accessibility, creative direction, custom typography, user interface design, usability, illustration, color theory, video compression/encoding/optimization for web, wireframes, prototypes, DVD menus, and 2D/3D motion design.
