Hello! I’m Doug Cassidy, web developer, father, musician.
From domain purchase to final website, I have many years experience in all aspects of web site creation, since 2001. I’m an experienced expert in HTML, CSS, SASS, Javascript, jQuery, PHP, MySQL and I specialize in WordPress.
I am an experienced WordPress expert. I can do anything you want with WP. I create plugins, modify themes, add on to and extend any part of WP.
I have great experience working with 3rd party APIs, like facebook, google, mailchimp, etc. I have lots of experience with E commerce websites.
I create websites that are ‘mobile responsive’, that is, sites that look great on phones, tablets and normal screens.
Although I am an expert in Photoshop and am able to do design, when needed, I am primarily a ‘nuts-n-bolts’ type of guy. What this means is that I am able to work with your designs and themes to create a whole website or just a module or plug-in that works with an existing website.
In addition to one-off jobs, I am looking to develop long-term (or short-term) relationships with designers, marketers and art directors which will be mutually beneficial. I am positive that anyone availing themselves of my services will be exceedingly pleased with the outcome. Please use the contact page to begin! Or just email me:
I am available for communications during early, West coast hours, (8-4 PST), via email, phone, skype. Other hours by prior arrangement.
