Introduction
Hi there, I am Willson Smith, a web designer and developer from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I am currently in my second year at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I have been designing and developing websites for three to four years.
What do I know?
I am skilled in HTML/CSS authoring, keeping on top of web standards, JQuery, lightweight programming (contact forms, etc.), and interface design. I am in the process of learning Ruby, and know the basics of PHP and Python.
What I can do for you
I am set to work alone or as part of a team to find the perfect solution to a project. I listen to what you need, and work with you to achieve that goal. We can work together on website designs, development, and many other problems faced along the way. I work to come up with creative solutions to any problem that may be in the way.
Equipment and software experience
I use a MacBook Pro, with Espresso 2.0 (HTML, Javascript, CSS et al. editing.), Codekit (SASS and other processor/compiler), and Transmit (FTP). For local PHP projects, I use MAMP. I have several years of experience in Photoshop, and know my way around InDesign, and Illustrator. While I prefer to use newer technologies, I do have Flash experience and can work with it. I also have prior experience with Visual Studio. Much of my HTML work uses the HTML5 boilerplate for quick development, although I also often work from scratch. I have experience using git, mercurial, and SVN for version control.
More Information
I am an aspiring Photographer, shooting with a Nikon D60, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, and 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6.
