Web site design.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postYes, I did design, make, and upload this LonePrairie site. All graphics are mine. I can do a little minor designing.
Periodically, I'm asked to make a web site. These are my answers to that request:
- I used to help people design web sites, back when the internet was still young and I could hold my own with the basic HTML code. As it is now, with sites heading into web 2.0, I'm not qualified for the complexity most people are looking for.
- I have problems with my hands and I do, actually, despite appearances, try to limit my computer time so that my hands don't give me problems. Web site design ends up being a tremendous amount of "stupid hands, just work why don't you?! clickety clickety mouse clickety" and so I generally decline large and arduous and pretty much all requests.
- I have helped set up sites for a few groups using Wordpress (North Dakota NRN, Museum at Dresden, Hampden, etc.). This is not, technically, design. It is merely helping people get started on something so that they can manage it for themselves. I now lean this way and work to persuade people to do it so that, once it is up and running and I've showed them how to use the system, they can take the baby home and feed it an not have to contact me for updates and bother me any more. It is fully their site and in their control. It is also a great way for these non-profit groups to get a site up with low cost that very much serves their purpose. This, I can help you with, possibly. I do expect to be compensated for the time I put in setting it up and teaching you.
- I can help you make some web site graphics. I won't do it for free.
As always, contact me with your request and we'll see if I am able to help you or not.
