I design
Hey,
I'm Drew Blaisdell, a freelance web and graphic designer. I started making websites eight years ago as a hobby, and since then I have founded a web design company, developed for several large-scale websites, and drawn several raspberries.
I love making websites. Let me make yours.

In terms of markup and languages, I'm well versed in XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Perl. I've worked with all of these languages for over five years, and have familiarized myself with popular frameworks for these languages, such as Scriptaculous and jQuery.

Sometimes, you will find that services or applications already exist for your vision, simply requiring a bit of tweaking to accomodate your needs. I have worked with a number of libraries and frameworks such as Wordpress and Joomla, and am familiar with the APIs of popular services such as Twitter.

We consume media from a list of devices that is constantly increasing. Apart from your standard computer web browser, I have worked on sites such as Surf Canyon Mobile to ensure that browsing experiences are compatible and consistent across mobile platforms such as the iPhone and Blackberry.
