Web design & development @ davidstreever.com

Home

I build websites using xHTML & CSS, the industry standard for web development. My sites load faster, work better in search engines, and can be viewed on any modern device.

I’ve developed intranets for national corporations—Aetna, Carl Zeiss, Nationwide Insurance, and Avon—and created web sites for artists, designers, and other creative people.

All of my sites are built using a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS allows you to update the navigation, pages, content, and images on your site as easily as you send an e-mail or type a document.

I’ve also built e-commerce sites and brochure sites, blogs, personal web pages, and more.

Green Hosting

It's true—this website & the hosting behind it are carbon neutral. I use Dreamhost for all my hosting, and they have purchased carbon offsets to make up for the electricity which this and the other sites I host use.

don't hire an advertising firm to build your website

"Many sites designed by Ad agencies sport all kinds of in-your-face images and messages designed to get you to pay attention. When a visitor gets to a Web site, you don't need to grab their attention; you already have it!" This and other valid observations from David Meerman Scott on his blog. Click More to see why I think you should steer clear of "advertising agencies".

Design! Is it pretty pictures? (No) Is it something more attractive than this website? (Probably) Is it a clear communication, expressing the interests of the client? Bingo.
