I strongly support web standardization and work diligently to build each page with valid XHTML. For a while I was as anal about CSS validation as I am with my XHTML, but I will admit I take some liberties with the CSS to allow those with the latest browsers to experience some cutting-edge coolness (the future is just too fabulous to resist).
My tech skills include XHTML, CSS, Flash, PHP, JavaScript and jQuery. My speciality and love is WordPress.

WordPress Integration
Often clients like the look of their sites but want the freedom to update the content themselves. I’ve had great success converting static HTML sites into WordPress themes, which allows clients to easily maintain their content using the fabulous open-source Content Management System.
