Fort Wayne Blog, Social Media Creation

Stephen J Bailey

I have worked directly with websites since 2006. I fell in love with HTML because of a blog that I built in 2005. Within a year, it was averaging over 1000 hits a week and I enjoyed transforming the visual aspects through the manipulation of HTML code. I received my Associates of Business Degree in 2007. I followed it with a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology in 2009 and graduated with honors from The University of Phoenix Online. After taking on my first website in 2006, I started Detailed Web Design later that year. Each time I finished a website, I would land a new client from it. Each project led to the next and I found that I never had to advertise because, thankfully, requests for work continued to arrive one after the next. From 2007 - 2008, I worked for a large e-commerce company that was valued in the millions. This company handled dozens of websites that represented hundreds of products and millions of dollars worth of inventory. I learned how important it was to land at the top of Google and other search engines because without it, the business would fail. SEO is crucial to success. In 2008, I excepted a new position and moved into management over 30 people in multiple states. I handle not only day to day operations but also computer and information technology issues. My web design and logo design portfolio has continued to grow along the way. In the last few years, I have created multiple web creations from scratch including personal websites, small business websites, e-commerce websites, websites for actors, writers, and singers. I have created websites for city government and for global not-for-profit organizations. Each website brings a challenge and broadens my portfolio. I welcome a challenge. I do most of my work in basic HTML with a touch off CSS and the occasioncal Javascripting because it has allowed me to incorporate aspects of web design that give me my niche through Flash and Photoshop. I work on both the latest MAC and PC platforms. I use Dreamweaver CS5 as well as old school Frontpage. Once I find software I like, I try to use it for all it is worth while still incorporating new software that continues to come along. In 2011, I made the move to open my own 1,500 sq ft office in downtown Fort Wayne. I truly believe that the best is yet to come...
