I design websites utilizing current (X)HTML/CSS layouts, which make for speedy loading and great flexibility. My websites adhere to the standards of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and are viewable in multiple browsers. They do not 'break'. I am proficient with Photoshop software, and at optimizing graphics and photos aiming for smaller file sizes, faster loading. Photoshop is what I use to design banners - 'headers', 'sidebars', 'footers', or to create the background of a page. All done with optimization, as well as looks and appeal, in mind.
