Hi! I'm Bill
I am a web developer, a communications manager, a digital marketer, a husband, a father, and an all-around geek. I have been creating digital solutions for clients for almost as long as there has been an internet to create digital solutions for – and I love that this online playground keeps growing and improving all the time.
Keep reading to get a sense of my approach, or use the menu to access my project gallery portfolio or dig into the ways I might be able to help you with your project.
If you were looking for my personal blog, it will relaunch this Fall at IAmThatGeek.com
MY APPROACH
DESIGN
For most of us, this word brings up artistic images and words. We think about color schemes, choosing fonts, and selecting excellent images. I have always believed that design starts much sooner than that. Design is about understanding constraints – visually, it means “How much space do I have?” But what about your other constraints? Time? Budget? Technical ability?
Projects, particularly digital ones, often succeed because someone took the time to ask questions and found the answers to really understand the problem or challenge. I typically spend the first 10% of a project’s timeline making sure that we are asking the right questions and that we have answers that we can trust.
Then, once we understand the problem we are trying to solve, we can start dreaming up beautiful and elegant ways to do just that.

DEVELOP
Like a photograph being developed, our creative solutions come into focus over time. And in the same way that a lot of photography develops in the dark room, much of your project develops out of sight – in the code I am writing or the design work being done. But that certainly doesn’t mean you should be in the dark! I believe in scheduling check-ins and reviews to ensure that the design still addresses the problem to your satisfaction. I always want to have a plan, but I know that the plan has to be able to adjust to new information and constraints. Together, we will iterate, revise, and review to bring your solution into focus.

DELIVER
In the, of course, all projects are judged on the same criteria:
- Did we do what we said we would do?
- Did we deliver it on time?
- Did we keep it within the budget?
I work hard to make sure the answers all come up “YES” and that you are more than satisfied, even pleasantly surprised by, the final results.
After all the talk and plans, the job has to get done. It’s as simple as that.
