I am an NYC-based web producer, project manager, and front-end coder. I run a small, focused web agency, working with businesses and organizations to create and maintain attractive, intuitive, results-oriented websites.

Responsive sites + Responsive communication

Since 2007 I’ve helped businesses and organizations of all sizes create, maintain, and improve their web presence. I work closely with business owners and project managers to make the process as fluid, understandable, and pain-free as possible

I can consult with you to help you create or modify your existing site so it works better and looks clean and beautiful on a variety of devices. I also can help manage your day-to-day web operations, improve your SEO, or build e-learning modules for your college or university.

I use HTML/CSS/Javascript/Wordpress, and work regularly with two web monsters (in the cuddly sense of the word) who bring additional deep skills in object-oriented programming and design. This gives me great flexibility in handling a variety of web services efficiently and expertly. My team includes developer Kobie Maitland and designer Jake Koprowski.

Do you need a web person or team with strong technical and communication skills? Drop me a line, and let’s discuss. Oh..and just so you’re prepared, my last name is pronounced Taye-Kiff (no one ever gets that right).

This project is actually a series of three sites, including FASB's main site as well sites for their sister organizations, The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) and the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

This site was built for Greer's allergy drug Oralair, and features 25 pages of content, and a sign up form for health care professionals, which is stored in a database to be retrieved and downloaded in .csv (Excel) format by the site's admins.

Dr. DeFabritus

Dr. DeFabritus was looking for a simple, informative site that he could maintain himself, so I designed and built a site for him using WordPress. I worked with him and members of his staff to create a no-frills site where necessary information was very easily found, and patients could do things like get directions and contact info, as well as fill out forms online rather than in the office.

In addition he uses the site to write short, informative articles about general health issues.
