Kirk Roberts’s Summary

I am an independent website architect and Flash specialist with over eight years of experience designing and developing award-winning online experiences.

As a website architect I'm in the feel good business. I work with small business owners to craft a site they are proud of, and that helps give them the confidence to succeed. Whether the situation calls for a few important tweaks or a completely new design and deployment I am an internet-savvy ally that will make your site the best it can be without breaking your budget. Areas of assistance include brand definition, site architecture, usability and legibility, content selection and editing, domain-naming, search engine optimization and submission, code clean-up, and others depending on the project.

As a Flash specialist I contract with designers to sharpen and implement their ideas using advanced Flash animation and ActionScripting. A longtime usability advocate and preacher of responsible Flash use, I strive to blend fluidity and wow-factor with pragmatic concerns such as loading and updating. My skills as a designer enable me to extrapolate comps with style and precision. See work samples and read more at http://flash.eyeandbrain.com/

  Kirk Roberts Design

  (Graphic Design industry)

  January 2007 — Present (2 years 7 months)

  Kirk Roberts Design is an independent single-person website and graphic identity consultancy and front-end web development studio.
  
  My main job is to make sure my clients are flat-out proud of their websites. In addition to the obvious cosmetic and brand-aware design and messaging factors I look to inject each project with good usability principles, search engine visibility, and solid technology that loads quickly and is easy to update.
  
  As sole proprietor I do everything here: client liaison, brand strategy, graphic and web design, web development, scheduling, marketing, finances, etc. That means my client-collaborators have a direct relationship with the person who does every facet of the work for them. Someone who is also a small business owner and wants them to be thrilled with the product we create and contribute to their wild success.
