MEET DANNA McCORMICK

Web development is my second career, and a true love. Prior to this, I was a top commission-based sales manager on Wall Street... back in the days when the financial markets were rolling high and business travel was easy. I was lucky enough to help build a company from the ground up with a group of exceptional people that share my values of developing strong client relationships and delivering an excellent work product. Two kids, 9/11, and a sale of the company brought that great run to a close, but it set a solid foundation for the next venture.

A few of my philosophies

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right."  A clean code that validates may not mean much to you now, but poorly written, sloppy code will come back to bite you (and most likely, at the worst possible time). I hand-code and validate my websites so that there's is no superfluous or sloppy code, and I build sites with a structure that will continue to perform as technology advances. My clients are able (if they wish) to update their websites without my help.

"Less is more."  I strive to make your website clean and focused. Viewers aren't overwhelmed with a busy mess, having to guess what to look at first. I believe in a pleasing color palette, easy readability, and aesthetically interesting design. You may have several points you want to make to your viewers, but there's a way to lead them to water without spraying them in the face.

"Tiny details, big impact."  Sometimes a website will clearly look amateurish, or simply broken. Text overlaps, out-of-line elements, missized pictures, links that don't work — you've seen them. The polish is all in the details... and I'm a stickler for detail.
