Welcome!

Hello, My name is Mary I am a web designer and developer in Santa Fe, NM. I work with small businesses and individuals who need an effective online presence to create beautiful, professional web sites built according to web standards.

I can help you build a far reaching and sustainable online identity so your customers can always be in reach. Nowadays every small business needs a strong presence through all mediums on the internet to stand out. And more importantly, a website that will rank right at the top of popular search engines

When some "simple" website just wont do and you demand something slick, professional, dynamic and something they wont forget, I can work with you implementing a presence that suits your personal and creative style.

Let's start a dialogue...

I have over 10 years experience web and graphic design My passion is making creative and effective web sites for artists, writers, non profits and small businesses.

Social networking and blogging have become essential for building relationships and credibility with your clients alongside letting them know what new and exciting projects your working on. Wordpress content management had become the standard for bloggers and is very easy to use with a variety of themes and plug ins to optimize your content. But all that can be very time consuming and complex to the novice ...I can help actualize and maintain everything from a new or existing site redesign to blog installation and maintenance.

I have made some lifelong friends by strategically branding and marketing both their art and business through the use of both personal and/or online sales sites and social network integration. Not only the powerful Twitter Facebook & Myspace entities but all the new up and comers. Fresh content you can easily and quickly add yourself can easily be fed to social networking sites and beyond, reaching a whole new customer base and improving the traffic ie. $$ to your specialty..

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is crucial. Meta data, strict W3C standard and validated XHTML is something I can geek out on for hours, but usability and simplicity are paramount. Web 3.0 is the new catchphrase, and even a site that was built 2 to 3 years ago can falter under a flood of possible search results. The good news is that with attention to detail, it has become easier to implement an interactive site that is both easy understand and user friendly.

I also part time tutor adults in learning new applications such as Dreamweaver, Flash, video and sound editing software, HTML and am often asked to design custom Myspace pages and to help build huge fan bases. I am available for both phone and email support for wordpress consultation, application learning and any other sticky online frustration.

Wordpress Consultation

Wordpress is the most widely used open-source blogging software A personalized Wordpress content management system (CMS) gives you complete control over the design and display of your content. In addition to writing blog posts, WordPress allows you to create pages, add categories, customize your site design, define how posts appear, and more. Even multiple users can access the site to add content. A popular Wordpress blog is a direct conversation with both potential friends and clients.

Wordpress is not only for writers Visual and micro-blogging are all the rage. A single RSS feed can be dispersed across many other platforms across the web. Readers may also subscribe to your content and comment on individual posts directly from other social networking sites ...connect, and spread the word!
