Makes Websites

Hi. I'm Shawn.

I make websites. Websites for people who say things. Websites for people who do things. Websites for people who make things.

I use the latest HTML, CSS, & JavaScript. This is geek for 'Your site will load fast and look good on mobile devices'. I work primarily with WordPress, so your site will be easy to edit and maintain: and will even help you through the learning process so you'll be a CMS ninja in no time at all.

And I will advise you on how to maximize your social media presence so you can effortlessly spread the word about all the great things you say, do, and make.

Let's make something cool together.

About

I enjoy befriending animals. And reading. And having dirty shoes. And making things. And running at a slightly faster than moderate pace. I have excellent taste in music, but make an effort to not be too obnoxious about it. I am a big fan of European Movies. And occasionally tweeting. And coffee. And Google products. And not shaving very often. Speaking of not very often...let's connect on linkedin.
