Web / Graphic Designer, Artist, Poet & Musician
To every design created, there is the brainstorming phase of execution. As the most important piece, it involves both communication and an understanding of what your company desires. I ask questions… and I do my homework.
Whether its by my own or through outside means, I'll sit with you and formulate the best possible means for your company visually.
Next, the blueprint is developed. Drawing out a plan to execute, which will include mock-ups and wireframes, as well as a list of all the main topics/content to be included on the site, logo, etc. Consistent and easy to understand.
Once the blueprint is in place, it´s time to shine. Your target audience, goals, purpose and content all act as vital instruments for the finishing touches to your company´s design. Once more, communication is extremely critical at this stage, as I don´t cut corners in getting you what you want.
Now the creation begins. Whether it´s XHTML, HTML5 or PHP, I will compile a valid website to current web standards, accessible to as large an audience as possible. With first the formation of the home page (and then on), I will take it a step further and send you to a secure site in which you can view my work in progress.
As the site/etc. culminates, the testing phase will commence. Functionality and compatibility are tested, along with ensuring the latest web browsers view your site properly. Validated and cross-browser compatible. Once your approval is given, it´s time to deliver.
The introduction or (re)-introduction to the world wide web.
In the future you may want a few additions or a content update or upgrade… which I can continue for you at a reduced rate (based on how often you would foresee making changes/additions to your site).
CMS (Content Management Systems) may also be an option after the initial launch, so you can rest easy adding your content whenever you'd like. Whichever you decide, I´ll be there to help.
If all you need now is a way to contact me, don't hesitate to conversate and ask questions.
With motivated intent of such artistic prowess, I express enthusiastic affection for all things artistic while creating and promoting the work I've produced… and others also.
With a keen eye for detail, professional creativity, and an overall reflection of perfectionism. Though, perfectionism has its pitfalls, I capitalize on those with generally common sense and ingenuity.
While I have always been accustomed to art and its benefitual use, content (informational or otherwise) will always be the much needed component to any form of design related to web.
From analyzing analytics to usability factors related to the experience users will encounter, the benefits equal win-win.

Austin, Texas
Introductions aside… my name is Alan C. Hall II. Vertically athletic, verbally incline and lethal with my hands and a pen. A man of many hats and always striving for excellence.
I am currently living in Austin, Texas. Born in Connecticut, raised worldwide.
From an artistic standpoint, I am a Web/Graphic designer who develops whenever possible. An illustrator, musician, producer, poet, and Martial Artist with a lasting intention to Mixed Martial Arts and Boxing.
With intellect… and the integration/knowledge of XHTML, HTML5, CSS, jQuery, etc. Learning´s never a burden, as I am continually reading everything from art, to typography, to graphic design.
During the fall of 2007, after I completed my active-duty service with the United States Navy. Later completing college at ECPI University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Web Development (Computer & Information Science). I am currently attending The Art Institute of Austin for an Associates degree in Web Design & Interactive Media (Media Arts)… while focusing more into my poetry and music in the process. Too much to do… very little time to do it.
