Hi, I'm Edward. I'm 27-year old Jacksonville, FL-based developer, designer and writer. I like to build things for the Web, especially for WordPress. I'm a big fan of HTML5, Linux, WordPress, minimalist design, Android, science (it works), progressive politics and Leonard Cohen. To say my interests vary is probably an understatement.
This website is sort of a hodgepodge of the personal + the commercial, which is probably a bad idea. But hey, what's the worse that could happen?
My skillset includes PHP, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3 + more. I've tested at the "Expert" level on WordPress, HTML5 and CSS3 via Smarterer and at the "Master" level for SEO. I also rank in codepoet.com's 700 to 779 club for WordPress.
Custom themes and WordPress-based sites using WP.org's quality standard. We can build from an existing design or work with you to iron out the details.
I will soon be offering environmentally friendly and fast Web hosting at an affordable price. Stay tuned and check back.
I've released a number of public WordPress themes -- all are free. One of my themes was recently selected by Automattic as the featured theme for WordPress.com's new education vertical.
I work with clients in the Jacksonville, FL area as well as those across the US and around the world. I have clients ranging from Massachusetts to New York, San Francisco, Belgium, Australia and Denmark.
I prefer a "back to the basics" approach to design and WordPress theming and aim to keep things simple and clean. I'm a big fan of fast-loading WordPress themes that don't try to do too much -- i.e., a focus on presentation rather than functionality. I believe it's best to leave functionality up to plugins whenever possible to make things easier down the road for site owners and admins, especially when it comes to updates and migration.
I'm a believer in the power of open source as a means of liberating users without awful usage restrictions and conditions. For this reason, everything I make, whether free or commercial, is released under a GPL or similarly liberating license.
