Building websites was a natural progression after a career in marketing and traditional advertising. My experience authoring internet content and navigation came from heading up initiatives at Kia Motor America, RPA on Honda’s Interactive Network; plus Mercedes-Benz and Subaru national dealer website programs at The Cobalt Group, one of Seattle’s largest privately-held Internet companies acquired by ADP in 2010 for $400 million cash.
When I struck out on my own in the mid-2000s, my first client was Classic & Speed Parts, a California based Porsche parts company. I built a full service shopping site including content creation, part cataloging, calculated shipping, and product photography complimented by print and Google ad campaigns doubling traffic in three months.
This was before plug-n’-play web building from the likes of Shopify or GoDaddy. I was self taught in open-source content management systems for publishing such as Joomla and Virtuemart before progressing to WordPress for dozens of subsequent builds including other shopping sites. I’ve created vector logos, set up sites on Etsy, Wix and GoDaddy plus designed print-on-demand clothing lines. My experience includes business planning, financial projections, turnaround and startup scenarios. LinkedIn. I would love to help you.
These are a couple samples of current sites.
