The client, wanted an original site design to display his satirical viewpoints, links of interest, and allow viewing of galleries containing collections of various images. He also wanted it to be easy for him to update and add content himself using basic HTML. Experience I began learning web design about a year ago. The bulk of my experience is in creating personal sites, and sites for friends and family. I would like to create professional personal sites and sites for small businesses. I am continually learning new languages and technologies for web design and enjoy the challenge of learning as I work. At present I am very familiar with HTML, XHTML, and CSS. I am also familiar with javascript, PHP, ASP, and ASP.net. I have experience using text based editors like HomeSite (my preferred editor), but I am also familiar with WYSIWYG editors like Front Page and Dream Weaver. My program of choice for graphic image design is Paint Shop Pro. I am confident at quickly learning the basic user interfaces of any web development program used on Windows operating systems. ## Area of Expertise HTML and XHTML
