Web Designer
As a web designer, the web guy knows that the visual presentation of any website sets the stage for user experience. A deep knowledge of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) provides the foundation for that presentation. Applying adaptive and mobile friendly CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) allows the web page to deliver an experience that is clean, sharp and mobile compatible. Great design is accented by the implementation of smooth user interactions through the use of JavaScript (JS). The Web Guy's broad web design knowledge allows for a seamless connection between user interface and user interaction.
Web Developer
A web developer can expand the functionality of a website or web page through the use of server-side technologies. PHP (Personal Home Page) or other server-side scripting languages allow for web development that connects a client browser to the valuable data and functionality found throughout the web. mySQL or other database systems allow the retrieval or storage of user provided data, product information or other valuable content. Both mySQL and PHP or other similar technologies are run on a web server. The Web Guys knowledge and experience in server setup, server maintenance and server configuration allows for a comprehensive approach to web development.
SEO Specialist
A top level website with an exciting design and amazing user interactions is only as good as its listing on a Search Engine Results Page (SERP). This is why The Web Guy is also a avid SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Specialist. By focusing on page speed and mobile-first throughout development, The Web Guy can provide top listings on search engine result pages. By continually monitoring, documenting and adjusting content an SEO specialist can improve search position quickly.
Conclusion
I am The Web Guy, not because I say I am. Not because I bury myself deep in web design, web development and search engine research. I am the web guy because that is what other professionals have repetitively called me. I never asked them to. I would be fine with my name, Bryan. But if I had to pick a nickname, The Web Guy is pretty fitting. And I have to admit, when I hear comments like 'That's OUR web guy.', 'Ask the web guy', 'Our web guy can do anything.'... Those comments bring a smile, a sense of personal pride and a desire to humbly provide the best solution I can to those that see a value in what I love to do.
