I have many years of experience working with small and medium-sized businesses like yours, and I understand that a personal touch is often more effective than the services of an impersonal three-initial corporation. I will provide you with professional service and personalized attention. I have the agility to orchestrate a coordinated solution to your unique needs while avoiding the pitfalls of decision-by-committee.

I will focus on your needs and requirements to achieve your desired goal. I believe that less is more, and that emphasizing content is the best way to serve you. My goal is to make you, your company, your brand and your product look their best for your customers

Visual Design

I have fifteen years of experience working on successful projects, from concept to finished product for satisfied clients in many varied industries including e-commerce, retail, web search, technology, entertainment, insurance, health care, education, law, social marketing and non-profit. I enjoy the challenge of satisfying the needs of major corporations as much as the direct interchanges of working with individual clients and small businesses.

Whatever visual design work you may need, Gillico can handle it. From the smallest logo to the biggest billboard; a single illustration to a multi-page brochure, book or catalog; a simple webpage to a complete e-commerce solution, I have experience with them all. I keep up with current standards, I know design history, and I am passionate about good design and typography, all of which are essential to making your project great.

Web Development

There are so many confusing technologies available on the Web, it's difficult to know which way to turn for the right solution to your needs. I understand the strengths and limitations of the Web, and provide elegant, functional and powerful websites, while emphasizing ease of use for both the site's administrators and its users.

I have worked on ground-breaking sites of all kinds, including corporate and individual blogs, daily news, e-commerce, content-managed, internet advertising and search, as well as portfolios and personal sites, since the inception of the World Wide Web.

Every project gets my individualized attention to develop the distinctive web presence you're seeking. I am committed to maximizing usability on the web. I design interfaces with logic and common sense to present your content clearly and concisely to maximize your target audience's appreciation and use of the site.

I will work with you to understand which technologies will best suit your needs to enhance and power your site. I have created, freshened, set up, or otherwise enhanced more than two dozen websites, including installing, maintaining and customizing all major blogging software, such as WordPress, Movable Type, TypePad, and Blogger. I am experienced with major web technologies, from AJAX to PHP, CSS to XML, DHTML and I keep up with emerging technologies.

Through a relationship with a major US data center, Gillico also offers web hosting and email as part of our web design packages. Our sites are hosted on a fully secure server, connected via gigabit ethernet, and supported by redundant UPS, A/C and generator backup systems. We can host secure sites, and our capacity can expand to meet any need you might have. We can even set you up with your own exclusive domain name, and transfer hosting from your current provider to our servers.

Creative Services

I am a creative kind of guy, and my skills and experience lie in diverse areas. When you have an important project, I can fill in the areas that might need a little extra support. The continuity of the same hands and eyes guiding different aspects of a project is just another way Gillico provides you with the full service you expect and deserve.
