Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Who are you guys?
A. The royal we is only me. I am a Winnipeg Web developer and writer. I hold a day job where I work with clients large and small in developing their web sites, web content, and web strategies. I do freelance and contract work in my spare time.

Q. Is the guy in the picture you?
A. I hope not!

Q. What kind of projects do you work on?
A. I work on projects that interest me, with clients I feel are a good fit. That includes individuals, small business, non-profits, sports teams, and others who need but can't afford full agency services.

Q. Will you work with me, on my project?
A. It depends. I have a non-compete agreement with my employer. I can't work for my employer's clients, for example, and I can't work for competing agencies. I won't work for clients my employer is pursuing, and I won't work for clients who used to be my employer's clients. This generally means I accept clients who my employer wouldn't really be interested in because of size or budget. If there's any doubt, I'll discuss it with my employer. I disclose all freelance and contract work to my employer, and there hasn't been an issue to date.

Q. What's your Web development background and experience?
A. I am a graduate of the Internet Systems Specialist Diploma (ISSD) program at the University of Winnipeg. I have advanced knowledge and experience in a variety of Web technologies including, but not limited to, PHP, MySQL, PERL, Javascript, XML, .NET, Java, and a variety of frameworks. I have serious Unix/Linux skills and can work effectively on all flavours. I can setup and administer a Windows server with IIS and .NET services if I have to, but I don't consider this fun. I have extensive experience customizing Wordpress and developing Wordpress themes. I have been working in Web develpment since 1999.
