Hi, Hello, How are you?

My name as Alta. I am a web designer, marketing consultant and freelance project manager. I started freelancing in March of 2004. My first client was a professional ninja. I did a series of illustrations for him showing various ninja moves. In the years since then I've worked with many wonderful people and all kinds of interesting businesses. My goal is simply to help my clients build strong brands through effective and appealing communications. Get in touch or read my full bio, and have a nice day!

So what am I?

I'm a bit of a jane-of-all-trades when it comes to the internet. I have a background in advertising and marketing. As a designer I'm a believer in putting usability first, and that form should following function. Depending on the client and the project I'm a webmaster, one-person marketing department, designer, copywriter, web consultant or project manager. I create WordPress websites and blogs and can help with all aspects of visual and written content. I also consult with people who are looking to understand their software options.

Enough about me then...

Let's talk about you. This is quite straight forward but it takes some thinking through. What makes your business unique and interesting? Are you communicating this effectively or at all? I've found that most people and companies have a lot to offer, they just have a hard time letting everyone else know it. It starts with figuring out the heart and soul of what you do and why you do it, who are you trying to reach and what genuine benefits you have to offer. Email me and we'll talk.
