About Me

Hi my name is Greg Russell and I'm a web developer.

My focus in web development revolves around compatibility, ease of use, and standards compliance. For instance, how many times have you been locked out of a website because of your choice of browser or operating system? This should never happen. Not only does it have to work in all major browsers, but it should look the same, or at least look as close as possible (sometimes even in Internet Explorer 6). This is what I do. Actually, that's not all that I do. I can also build you a website from scratch, from an existing site that uses antiquated technologies, or even from a Photoshop file. Do you already have a designer? Great! I can implement their visual style to fit in with the modern web world. I use only the finest open source software in constructing websites, including PHP, MySQL, Apache, Ubuntu, and more.

When I'm not hacking away at a project or reading up on documentation I can be found enjoying art, music, food, camping, or any of the many pleasures of the city of Seattle where I've resided since moving from Ohio in 2007.

If you have any questions or want a quote for a project visit my contact page or email me at grgrssll@gmail.com
