My Skillset

WordPress Designer

I use graphic design tools and skills to enhance the design and the visual presentation and look of a WordPress website. I am capable of using the various options and settings in a WordPress dashboard, and of using pre-made themes, pre-created plugins and the graphics, editing and optimization possibilities inside WordPress. I can use HTML, CSS, JS and jQuery libraries to customize the website look.

Website Design

I design by collecting ideas, and aesthetically arranging and implementing them, guided by certain principles for a specific purpose.

Front-End Web Development

I convert data to graphical interface for user to view and interact with data through digital interaction using HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery libraries.

Project Management

I am experienced in leading a team of individuals with creative and technical skills to create various projects for the web. As a project manager, my job is to help manage the entire life of the project, from conception to live online delivery.

On-Page Optimization

I can implement strategies of optimizing individual web pages in order to rank your website higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. On-page refers to both the content and HTML source code of a page that can be optimized, as opposed to off-page SEO which refers to links and other external signals.
