Moved To Lansing

I apologize for not having updated in some time. Things have been pretty hectic and I’d like to tell you why. Over the past couple of months I have accepted a new job offer and moved to a new apartment in Lansing. I was recently hired by INgage Networks to work full-time as a UI Engineer in Lansing, MI. I will be in Naples, FL until May 27th for training at the INgage Networks headquarters. Palm trees and sun!

Just as before, I will still be offering freelance website design and development services. Since my time is limited, I will only be focusing on one project at a time to ensure a quality website and a happy customer. I currently have one project on hold that I will begin upon my return to Michigan for a former co-worker at Landscape Forms.

Kalamazoo customers are still more than capable of receiving my services. Distance is not a problem in the age of technology that we live in. My services are available to anyone no matter where they may be located. Thank you for your time and patience!

It’s A New Year

Hello Everyone,

I would first like to apologize for not updating my site in a while. I’ve been extremely busy with the holidays and work and I just haven’t had the time! I finally finished my undergraduate program at Western Michigan University and I am now the proud owner of a BBA in Electronic Business Design! It feels incredible to be graduated from college and to be a part of the professional work force.

Speaking of which, I have been busy developing a website for the company where I am interning, Landscape Forms. This website is going to be the home for our new electronic auction system. Currently these auctions are all done via paper and pencil, and my job is to give them a more eBay like feel. I have been developing this website using ASP.NET and SQL Server, and it has been exciting learning new interactions between things such as ASP.NET and jQuery along the way. I would love to show you this website, but it is internal only. Sorry!

I hope that everyone reading this had a wonderful holiday season, and I’d like to remind you that Fro Designs is always happy to answer your web design and development needs. Enjoy the new year!

October Activity

I haven’t had time to write a nice article in a while, so I wanted to throw something out here to let everyone know how business is doing. First of all, I finished up a large e-commerce project at the beginning of the month for The String Collector. I enjoy rock and roll music and have a bass guitar, so this was a fun project for me to work on. The website can be seen in my portfolio, and you can read about it here: The String Collector

I am currently working on a web store for a band called The Vala. One of the members is a personal friend of mine, and he came to me for help with this project. The design was largely done by him, with input from myself along the way. The test website is still in its initial stages of setup, so you’ll have to wait a bit to see more from this one. This website will be using WordPress and WP e-Commerce just like the store that I put together for The String Collector.

On a different note, I’m about halfway into the school semester, my last semester at WMU, and I can’t wait to be done! It’s exciting to finally be graduating and truly moving into the work force. I know my web design and development skills will continue to expand, and I will use everything I have to help my customers create successful websites.

Client: Allen’s Photography

A co-worker of mine at Landscape Forms was looking for some help updating his photography website. When I first looked at the website, I noticed that the entire thing was written with static HTML pages. This type of site is very hard for any non-technical user to update. So I offered to help him migrate his website to WordPress, where it would be much easier to update and manage.

The whole process went really smoothly. I was able to install WordPress on his web host with no problems, configure all of the necessary plug-ins, and apply the theme from his HTML website without any trouble. He is very happy with the new features, and I hope that the work I have done for him makes his job easier, and helps to bring in new business to his company.
