My technical expertise can enhance your service offerings and provide your customers with the optimal user experience.
Let me fill in the gaps for you with your more sophisticated clients. A website design for a company with a strong IT department may only require HTML templates with full front-end functionality. This includes semantic HTML that defines the page structure, CSS to style the page and Javascript to provide specific page behavior. An experienced website administrator will be able to use the templates to construct the complete website.
I have a strong sense for design, speak the language of designers and respect their decisions and requests.
I can work with you to integrate all content into your new site, whether it’s a simple, static HTML project or a dynamic site based on a content management system (CMS). I work with open source CMSs such as Drupal, Wordpress and Backdrop. For HTML site implementations I use the Metalsmith static site generator to build super fast and secure sites. Look at my portfolio for examples of these.
I will collaborate with companies that already have a design.
I take pride in producing the websites that are promised: on time and on budget, that delight my customers.
A critical part of my work. A website is a significant business asset that needs to be maintained. A standards compliant website uses coding standards that promote the separation of structure, style and behavior. This coding pattern allows for shorter development and maintenance time and makes the code base accessible so that every developer can follow and understand it. When a developer builds a site according to standards, another will be able to continue where the former left off.
As more and more people browse the web with their mobile devices, older site building technologies make less sense. Flash is too slow and needs too many resources to run efficiently on a mobile device. Using images to enhance site graphics requires extra page load time, which is more noticeable with mobile bandwidth.
My work frequently includes HTML5 or CSS3. HTML5 represents an enormous advance for modern web applications and will increase the capabilities of browsers and Web applications for years to come
All leading mobile platforms, iPhone, iPad and Android use HTML5 and CSS3. On the desktop all major browsers support HTML5 and CSS3 and even Microsoft has finally joined the fray with Edge. So building sites with HTML5 and CSS3 standards ensures their future viability.

Hereby we want to thank the Busse Design team for the outstanding job on the development and making this website a reality, including implementing the crazy 'never-been-there-before' design ideas and meeting our project timeline.
I want to thank, in particular, Werner for making the impossible possible. This site was a complex beast with a short implementation timeline. I appreciate that Werner joined in early in the project with advice, always thinking ahead -- while at the same time keeping a keen eye on the launch deadline.
We could not have done this without him!

For our latest website update we contracted with Werner again. This included the implementation of a consistent design for our Joomla and Wordpress based web properties. He completed the project on time, on budget and the implementation was true to the design. Throughout the project he communicated progress clearly, suggested improvements and was very easy to work with. He is very professional and definitely an expert in his domain. We will use his services again in the future.

We continue using him for adding site functionality as our business expands and I would recommend Werner to anyone who is planning their digital marketing strategy.
