Milk and Mud Designs
Fresh as a new leaf. Smooth as a new baby. Inspiring as a star filled night.
Good design is all these things put together and expanded upon.
As a mother I know the unity and perfection of a newborn baby, from fuzzy hair and dazzling blue eyes to tiny toes - and everything in between.
As a web developer I know the unity and perfection brought about by a well designed, standards-based web site..
It grows from well-written code and eye-catching graphics into a functional, beautiful site that gets traffic and brings in profit for you.
Standards-Based Web Design
My design work is standards-based. Your website will comply with recommendations given by the World Wide Web Consortium.
This benefits you for many, many reasons. Your site is easier for all your visitors to navigate - no matter what visual challenges they may have.
Your site will also load quickly for your visitors. This gives you an immediate advantage over competition with clunky websites!
The power of standards-based design means HTML code for your content and CSS for your design. That alphabet soup spells out a fast, powerful, and attractive website for you.
What is Search Engine Optimization?
The heart of a great web site is the text on the pages. Text that's clear and informative for human readers pulls your visitors through your site, building trust in you and your business.
Text that has been planned for the search engines focuses search engine scouts - called "spiders" - on your pages so they rank well with major search engines for the terms your visitors are looking up.
Search engine optimization brings both of these aspects together into clean text that delivers what your readers want and entices the search engine spiders to list your pages high in their rankings.
I can help you tailor your text to both your human and "spider" readers - or I can write effective text for you.
