Description:

History I've been writing code for 18 years, and I've been building websites professionally for the last 12 of those years. During that time I've worked for a lot of small companies and been a part of small development teams. The interesting thing about my career so far is that I've been given the opportunity to be a part of every step of the process involved in building great websites. And I've gained appreciation for design, usability, marketing, and SEO as well as the more technical side of website coding and database design. But through all of that, one particular interest rose above everything else; that is, the need to create websites that are fast and highly scalable. You may wonder why I care so much about performance. Consider this: Every 100 milliseconds in page load delay costs Amazon.com 1% of sales. This means that, taking into account Amazon’s $67 million in sales each day, a 1 second page delay could potentially lose $2.4 billion of sales each year. [1] By speeding the page load times up by 5 seconds, Shopzilla.com increased their conversion rate by 7-12%, doubled the number of referrals from search engines and cut the number of servers required in half. [2] Microsoft ASP.NET MVC, Web Forms, and SQL Server I work primarily with the Microsoft stack of technologies and have done so since 2001. The cost of going this route can be higher than Apache/Linux when it comes to the server software and OS. But at the same time, these are efficient technologies and I'm very efficient with my coding practices. So you probably won't need a costly server setup to begin with. There's also the option of using Windows Azure, and their rates are reasonable for what you get. Scalable High-Traffic Websites Scalability is an interesting concept. One concern is that it's in the very nature of some websites to receive a surge of traffic at an unexpected time. So a website may not actually need a massive amount of server resources most of the time. But when it does, the server better be ready to handle it or you'll miss out on a lot of traffic, and a lot of potential business. I can work with you here to come up with something that'll work well for your scenario. Sometimes the most important thing is that you have an easy path laid out in front of you to handle the growth. Fast, Highly Usable Mobile Websites Mobile devices still have serious issues with latency. As such, it's more important than ever to minimize the number of requests (or files) that your website serves to mobile users. There's also a different set of requirements to make a mobile site feel natural and easy to use. I can build something that'll respond quickly and look great on a mobile device. Client-Side Performance Problems In the past this has been an area that was frequently overlooked. By using simple techniques like CSS sprites, cookieless domains, GZIP compression, and caching you can drastically improve page load times. But I won't stop there. I'll pull out every trick in the book to minimize requests and latency and make your site faster than you ever thought possible. Server-Side Performance Problems Solving performance problems at the server is all about measuring real-world usage and finding bottlenecks. There are a variety of tools I like to use to uncover these bottlenecks. Once found, the solutions can vary. Sometimes implementing a new caching strategy is a good solution. Sometimes it's a matter of applying the proper indexes to a database table. Or, there's simply a more efficient way to write the code. How much faster can you make my site? What kind of savings should I expect? It depends. I've worked on some projects where I was able to make the site just 25% faster, and others as much as 300% faster. Most of the time the biggest improvements come from front-end optimizations but of course every site is different. Are you restricted to web performance optimization? No, that's my specialty and everything I create is fast. And I would say that I'm a .NET developer first and foremost but I'm also well versed in design, usability, and search engine optimization. Are you taking on new projects right now? I tend to be booked for a month or two in advance but don't be deterred. I'd still love to hear from you. What is it like to work with you? It's the best. Web development requires a tremendous breadth of skills to do well. These are the skills I've acquired over a long career. [Oh no, I'm beginning to sound like Liam Neeson.] My point is, I'll work closely with you to understand exactly what you need and what you hope to achieve. And then I can create something great on the first try. Who owns the code and designs you produce during the project? You do. Before I work, we'll put a contracting agreement in place that will assign ownership of all work product and deliverables to you. As I work I'll also keep the code in a shared repository so that if I get hit by a bus you'll still have it. How much is this going to cost? Once I know a little more about the project, I can give you an estimate. The first step is to get in touch.
