About.

INSPIRED BY YOU.

Let’s build an experience that will bring us together!

Welcome! I am excited to get this opportunity to meet you. I love to take your business ideas and turn it into an online business for you. I started working online in the early 2000’s just when eBay and Amazon were in their early stages of dominance. I started my own business when I was only 23 years old re-selling department store shoes on eBay. I sold that business and became a full time e-commerce consultant helping other businesses start their own online website store. After fourteen years of being a e-commerce expert in the industry, I turned my focus back into web development to learn how to build and grow more complex websites. Spending 6 more years of my time in CMS platforms like; WordPress, Hubspot, Drupal, and Shopify. I have even spent time in enterprise applications built on the Angular and .Net frameworks. My passion is turning design into code, but don’t let that fool you to the only thing I can do.  I have a full spectrum of web development skills from server architecture in AWS to web design skills in Adobe XD. Also, helping out in SEO and marketing campaign related skills. So whether you have a new website to build, a logo design, or just need to improve your online presence, I may just have the right solution for you.

Experience.

A USER-CENTERED APPROACH.

I have always work in some shape or form on online businesses. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Web Design and Development at BYU-Idaho. I have been working in WordPress for over 6 years building with custom themes and plugins for all kinds of businesses. I also have work another 10 years in e-commerce selling on eBay and Amazon on my own and for other big name companies. Over my years of experience I have work with the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have discovered in my experience that the user is king. And having the wrong kind of layout can make or break you. Let me show you how I can get your idea in front of the right people in the right way. I don’t just build websites, I build experiences. A lifestyle a user will want to come back to again and again.

My approach is a user-centered design, with Research, Personas, Empathy Maps, Use Cases, Prototypes, Analysis, and Validation. After all, your main goal is to get that user the information they need with as little effort as possible, and a well organized website helps the user accomplished that goal. This adds value to the user and makes them want to use your website again and again to serve them up your end product.

Skills.

RESULTS DRIVEN DESIGN.

Below is a list of skills that help me succeed. All my skills are centered around creating a results driven design. My focus is on your user and not my own design. I am always discovering new skills daily related to these goals. At the end of the day it all leads to having the best UI/UX experience.

DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

“We Started working on a new IsagenixBusiness.com website for the field last summer. Throughout this project, J.R. has been an incredible resource for us with his front-end development mastery. We launched the new IsagenixBusiness.com for US-English at NYKO and the feedback was incredible. We are so thankful to have him as a part of the project team and appreciate his continued dedication as were now launching the US-Spanish site and beginning to work on launching CA-English/French this April. The field is so excited about this new website and all of its additional functionalities – it’s truly a valuable resource that will help our business builders thrive. Thanks you, J.R., for all your help.

“JR is a fantastic WordPress developer. He has extensive knowledge of many web technologies. He is not only knowledgeable with PHP, but HTML, CSS and JavaScript as well. He developed the new look-and-feel on our WordPress site. Also, he updated an internal portal to display on a mobile device. Additionally, JR has an extensive knowledge of how to configure and maintain a WordPress site. He often consulted with the DevOps team to ensure that maintenance was performed safely and correctly. JR also works well with Marketing. It is not unusual for marketing to require a quick turn around on changes. JR completed these tasks with alacrity. During the site redesign, JR was able to balance the immediate changes with the longer-term needs, showing consistent progress while also attending to day-to-day needs.”
