More than good looks

Just like people, a good web site is more than the outer looks. It should be friendly, interesting, and easy to get along with. Also just like people, looks fade and styles change. It's what's inside that matters most, and for web sites, that means good code. Clean, standards compliant, search engine friendly, easily updatable code. That's the kind of web sites I will design for you.

Greater than 10

If you've read this far, that means that I've probably held your attention for more than 10 seconds, which is more attention than an average web site receives before the viewer pushes the "back" button. But since you're still here, that means:

  1. You were able to find my web site (good coding).
  2. The web site looked intriguing enough to stay (good looks).
  3. The web site was interesting enough to read this far (good content).

Wow! That's a lot of good.

About Ben Williams (nice to meet you!)

Hi, glad you're here. I most recently worked as the Web User Interface Engineer at a small web design company in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Unfortunately, like many companies these days, they ran into some money troubles and I had to be let go. But the good news is I'm now available to work for you! I can help you out whether you're looking for a full time web developer, or looking for for a freelance developer to create web site to promote your business or cause. My freelance work is done under the Benjamin Sites brand name.

I've been formally trained in the art of web design via an Advanced Web Design Certification, with a concentration in Coding, from Sessions.edu. I also hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of North Texas. But even more importantly, I'm constantly teaching myself and staying up to date on web standards and trends through books and blogs.

I graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a major in Logistics. After working hard in the logistics world for 3 years, I realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my career. So I went back to school and learned all about web development. Now I love what I do.

When I'm not working, I enjoy courting my lovely wife (seen in the picture above), playing with my baby boy, writing songs on the guitar, playing video games, spending time with friends and family, and anything else that's generally considered good clean fun :)
