WEB DESIGN

My focus right now is using XHTML and Dreamweaver to build attractive, simple sites for clients. I have a strong proficiency in using Photoshop for web design, i.e., slices, optimizing images for web, creating mockups. I have learned some Flash to create animated and interactive elements, but I am working on fine-tuning those skills; right now my abilities in Flash are quite elementary.
