Production Specialist

In addition to design and usability skills, Linda has extensive web production experience. She has developed the front-end programming of websites using HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, web standards, and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. She has an intensive knowledge of software, production methods, and browser issues.

Sites used Dreamweaver templates, server-side includes and/or CMS template integration. She has also conducted on-site client training of Adobe Contribute and Dreamweaver, and wrote documentation for internal production and QA procedures.

Linda can work solo on projects or assemble a team of backend development experts for complex projects.

Linda believes that successful web development combines three elements: aesthetics, usability, and ease of programming. If she creates a design that is difficult to navigate or extremely costly to program, she has not done her job. From years of hands-on experience with web production, Linda understands, when she designs, what coding challenges will follow.

This combined design/production perspective enables the development team to do their job better and faster. Understanding all phases of development allows her to make choices up-front that will mean less work (and less cost) later in the process.
