			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I create a website tailored to your needs.  I use the <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.wordpress.org');">Wordpress</a> blog publishing platform as a Content Management System (CMS) to manage your portfolio from the backend.  This means that publishing a picture or a story to your portfolio is as <strong>easy </strong>as writing a blog post or an email.  I set up your webserver, your domain name, etc., if you need help with that, and do everything else needed to make your website run smoothly and <strong>efficiently</strong>.  I work with you to create a visual design for your portfolio; we choose colors and collaborate on the placement of elements throughout the various pages of your site after I develop an initial prototype.  All of this results in an <strong>easy-to-update</strong> website that&#8217;s <strong>appropriate </strong>for and <strong>complementary </strong>to your photography and personality.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Your website is the most important advertisement for you and your work, and you&#8217;re here because your site isn&#8217;t doing the job. It&#8217;s got a clunky Flash interface, it takes forever to load, it looks like everyone else&#8217;s website, and google can&#8217;t find it; it&#8217;s out of date, hard to update, and is difficult to add to; your contact information is hard to find, the pictures/stories/pages don&#8217;t have unique addresses so they can&#8217;t be bookmarked or emailed, and navigation is a pain. Don&#8217;t take my word for it. A web designer <a href="http://astheria.com/design/my-last-portfolio-sucked-yours-might-too" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/astheria.com');">recently analyzed</a> a small sample of portfolio sites on the web, and the results are astounding; 72% of the portfolios made it difficult to see an entire picture, 32% had confusing navigation, 32% did not include a phone number&#8230;  And while Flash-designed websites look great, they leave a lot to be desired; here are <a href="http://www.antezeta.com/flash-problems.html" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.antezeta.com');">7 reasons</a> to reconsider an all-Flash design.
