Who am I?
I am a seasoned web designer with more than 20 years experience in web design, interactive marketing, and site usability. My areas of expertise include CMS platform implementation, usability, cross browser compatibility/testing, XHTML/CSS, site analytics, and video/audio production.
As a web enthusiast, I have eagerly sought to build my skills to include the latest web technologies and usability standards. My strong project management experience has enabled me to efficiently execute projects that require a high level of complexity, and has allowed me to gain excellent development and creative skills that have contributed to the overall success of the companies I've represented. I am proficient in social media, brand management, and sales.
In a nutshell, I am Kyle Hofmeyer, a UX designer. Nice to meet you.
What you can expect.
-
On time, all the time
If I tell you I can get you a design on Tuesday, you get a design on Tuesday. If I say your site will launch in 1 week, it launches in 1 week. Heck, sometimes it could launch in 6 days :).
-
Clean and simple designs
A website doesn't need to be some outrageous design to be an effective online tool; sometimes clean, simple, easy designs are all you need. Simplicity is what I specialize in.
-
Clean code, browser tested
I don't just care that your site looks good, but I also make sure that what is behind that pretty exterior is a lean mean CMS machine.
-
Your users are #1
It doesn't matter how good looking your site is or how many features it has, if your users can't use it, we failed. I specialize in site usability and will make sure your users don't get lost in all the bling.
-
Launch and served
I take your site from words to designs and place them all on my personal VPS. You have to do nothing but point your domain where I tell you. Yup, it's that simple.
-
You own it, I'll deliver it
Just because I created it and it is on my computer, doesn't mean you don't own it. Once the site is complete and you are happy, I will send all materials to you any way you prefer.
What can I do for you?
Design & Drupalize (me) work with companies and individuals to take their current sites and implement them into the CMS Drupal and/or build/design a completely new site from scratch. I am a Drupal association member and have been building sites based on Drupal for over 4 years.
I specialize in designing sites' look and feel and turning them into full-on Drupal websites. I also build your site's Drupal foundation from server implementation, module integration, and administration based on your needs. Once complete, I teach you how to manage the site on your own while leaving the nitty gritty of Drupal and module updates to me. If you needed an added feature, we can do that too.

How I do it.
I would like to think it is all magic and fairy dust, unfortunately it isn't. We begin by getting to know each other. I then take time to get to know your project needs and what you hope to get out of your site. I then take some personal time to get to know your competition so I can offer a design and site implementation that "just works."
From there, we work together to finalize the design process. Once that is complete, you just sit back and relax while I do the rest of the work. I choose the modules needed to make your features happen. I take our design and hook it into a functional Drupal website.
I drink some coffee.
I then go over the final product with you as it sits in a development environment and we make sure you are 100% happy. If you're happy, I'm happy. With all of this happiness, I then launch your site and make it live.
I drink some more coffee.
I then work with you and teach you how to make changes "live" to your site. Once you are able to take things over, I just handle the rest of the nuts and bolts. From then on, if you need anything else, you just give me a shout.
