As I'm now disabled with irreparable damage to the median nerve in both
hands I have to modify my web designing activities. The cause: "Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome" from 5 years hard work as a food handler. I can still
fiddle with web design, albeit I'm much slower than I used to be, and can
only use the mouse for about 20 minutes at a time. Then I have to rest my
numb hand until some sensation returns: I usually just read or watch tv.
But, given enough lead time, it would please me to do _some_ webpage design
and maintenance, and graphic design work. It helps make me feel less
"useless".
I offer elegance and efficiency no matter what sort of webpage or site
you wish to construct. I firmly believe that the very best designs are a
partnership, a joint effort of the web designer and the client: the
artistic talent and skill of the former giving life to the innovative
concepts and ideas of the latter.
I prefer to limit the use of animated GIFs as they can slow down the
loading speed of your site considerably (but they are fun). I also prefer
to completely avoid use of JAVA, use of music, blinking anything, and only
a limited use of frames {As on this Page}, avoiding use of too many
bandwidth-wasting frivolities. Framed sites take forever to load, and
mostly serve only to annoy those who visit to your site.
Remember: How easy is it for a Surfer to get bored waiting for your
site to load and surf right on out of your life, away from the
opportunities you can offer? So it behooves us to make our html coding as
tight and tidy as possible to streamline webpage loading, while letting the
Surfer, a prospective customer, have a little fun.
