About Me

Web designer, developer, and consultant with extensive experience installing and customizing Open Source web-based software, primarily Content Managment Systems and social media tailored to clients' needs.

I can help individuals, small businesses, and non-governmental organizations that want full control over their own web presence or less technically involved hosted solutions. I can advise clients on hosting providers and packages, including green hosting.

Related services: search engine optimization (SEO), research, training for effective use of software systems, writing, editing, media/constituent relations.

I am especially interested in projects that contribute to and take advantage of the emerging hyperlocal web for practical complements to daily and public life as traditional print-bound newspaper journalism dies. E.g., placeblogging and social media/social publishing and small business/local commerce can be mutually supportive, and citizen journalism can help monitor the public record, bring it into the public interest, and contribute to the shaping of public discourse.

Specialties:
Web development, web design, web publishing, Open Source software; PHP/mySQL-based Content Management Systems; Mambo and Joomla CMS; HTML/CSS; writing; editing; communications; media / constituent / public relations; political campaigns; web 2.0; social media; hyperlocal, journalism

Organization Profile

New Local Media designs and builds websites for a variety of small to mid-sized businesses and organizations.

Typical NLM clients are in need of a quality website tailored to their unique needs which they can maintain themselves with minimal training and technical expertise after the initial setup and design. A common solution for these clients is an open source web content management system (W/CMS) and related applications.

Most NLM clients are, like NLM, located in the Milwaukee area. We like that for a lot of reasons, but NLM is interested in web development projects in other places as well, where the client's primary audience is located in a specific sub-national geographic region.

Research, consulting, writing, editing, search-engine optimization (SEO), security hardening, and other services are basic parts of most NLM projects, depending on their individual needs.

New Local Media can advise you about what you need (and don't need) to create, maintain, and grow your independent online presence. New Local Media can help you organize a plan and put it in place.

NLM is a member of OurMilwaukee (www.ourmilwaukee.net), a Wisconsin chapter of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE).
