I specialize in web design and development, graphic design, 3D animation, and digital video production. Think of me as your one stop shop for web design, portfolio web site development, and hosting information and expertise. Purchasing a combined services package makes life much easier for site owners, as apposed to paying more to buy web services from several separately company's.
And as a web designer I can tell you that there is no guarantee three or four specialties company's you higher to handel; design, hosting, web marketing,a and internet promotion all play well together and support each other services. Also eliminate hopelessly hanging in limbo your as various service company's (hosting and site technician companies for example) trouble shoot compatibility issues & playing the blame game when your site is broken or in attempting to resolve problems, a web services company that handles all aspects of your site, form concept to completion by guiding you through each step in what I like to call: the big picture development process.
What's New
I am working in beta versions of a new tutorial feature that will detail the process and provides an outline of your goals and and guides you through the 8 steps of creating a portfolio web design.
Menu madness
These are the drop down menu (Tutorial - CSS Drop Down Menu Journal: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 ) that search engines just love to crawl through.
The menu is ready for review!
Please post a link to any example you want to re-use, we can just go with the honor system: if you liked it enough to use it, then surly you can find a place on some domain to place a link to to the example.
Nesting Numbered List Navigation | drop down menu | Free drop down menu | clean drop down menu

Oh, and I am working on a "best links to have handy". While you're working on your portfolio website you can visit the resource page with all the links to the information you need. The links I recommend I have been collecting for some time now and hopefully this page will turn out to be a very valuable resource . Don't expect to see any links up on this comprehensive resource page until next week.
I decided to use a breathe some life back into this old CSSZengarden design I (mangled the HTML long ago) but it picked up some page rank and I figure it is different enough by now to use as a links page:) If David Shea is pissed I will take it down right away, but I have changed this file several times since it was his HTML from CSSZengarden.
Daddy Knows Best
Assisting in the advanced associates lab at Platt College San Diego gave me a chance to really hone my Photo Shop and HTML skills. Platt daddy's portfolio website is the culmination of that knowledge. It is extremely important to me that potential employers, as well as my fellow students of the web, and just casual visitors are impressed by at least the graphical interface if not the advanced code of my portfolio web design.

Professional, functional, eye catching, browser compatible and web standards driven web sites. I demonstrate creating, implementing, and re-engineering design solutions for re-use, CSS for all of the presentation makes the code as clean as can be for the search engine spider to crawl through. After I am done creating this multi-homepage super portfolio web site I will have pushed the limits of forum with the web site design while at the same time my CSS / XHTML wish will be any browsers command.

We do web design and Search engine Promotion in San Diego!

All of my hard work really paid off when I began working as an SEO Engineer about 2 years ago. I worked my way up at SEO inc. and eventually was recognized as a star in the broader SEO community in Southern California and was recruited to fulfill a senior management position at SEO startup company WIN inc. A big fat thank you goes out to Fred Winton. For all of the invaluable lessons you taught. But more than that, for sharing your infectious enthusiasm.
Thanks for being excited!
And for pointing the way towards what I am now most passionate about: The Web! Thanks Fred!
Also a special thanks goes out to the director of operations over at WIN for noticing my technical savvy as well as hardcore work ethic and recommending me for the management role as supervisor of SEO operations. Thanks for the opportunity, I wish you guys the best!

Web Design Portfolio

Sometime in February of 2005, I realized that my portfolio website was one crucial step away from truly realizing its destiny, and fully living up to it's name:
Using CSS to mimic the look and functionality of my frame set. I found a bunch of great resources. And after many nights of banging my head against the keyboard I came up with a solution.

CSS Rollovers

Sometimes it is easer to create your own solution from scratch than it is to modify an example template from a tutorial site.
This page dose not contain a frame set! View the source code, and you will see that I am using CSS to mimic the look and functionality of a framed page, without having to split the HTML into separate files. It truly is a complete solution to the whole frame problem. What more could you ask for? All of the cool stuff that I like about frames'. None of the issues that would keep me from using one.

CSS positioning

What really kills me is that: there are logical loopholes in present technology. And that's all I have to say about CSS and web standards. CSS layout is fundamentally different from traditional table markup in that you define everything about "container blocks", such as <div>'s, entirely from the CSS.

Cross browser supported

When I originally set out to create my portfolio web design web site I knew that I wanted to move away from using table structure to layout my pages. CSS is the future! And the future is now! I truly dedicated my web web site to the use of advanced CSS techniques! I am a huge fan of using the coding language that was developed for web page presentation: CSS.

CSS frame set solution

Keeping content and structural containers separated logically would allow for for ease of development and increased ability to be truly creative while designing a web layout. Unfortunately the guys at the browser company's can't keep up with W3C's pace of growth and development of web standards. So what happens is you spend all day creating a masterpiece web site that you are so proud of, until you open it on one of your friends computers, and its all massed up.

Creating the Original Platt Daddy

My portfolio web site was an extensive process that I considered a distinguishing feat to have accomplished. But, now that I look back on that experience, it really did not prepared me for the problems with browser support I would face when implementing increasingly advanced CSS solutions.

CSS saves the day once again

Oh, and feel free to snag any of the code you see used here as a starting point to creating your own CSS frame set's, Or CSS rollovers, or Flash embeds that validate, or whatever code you see that you would like to modify. You can farm my code (it is open source) and study my techniques all night long, just please don' t rip off my graphics or duplicate any of the content found in my portfolio web site design portfolio.

Web Design Portfolio

As you may know by now this is the portfolio website of Steve Tchorzewski, who specializes in producing highly functional, visually stimulating web site's. Amongst his clients and co-workers, Steve is known for using CSS to simplify HTML. Steve's experience using advanced CSS techniques allows him to think outside of the box, and ultimately streamline the coding process. By replacing verbose scripts and removing deprecated tags, Steve is able to create pages that load faster, work better and always meet 508 web usability standards. Platt Daddy's portfolio website is truly a step above and beyond other web design portfolio web sites. The detailed graphical interface you see is organized and optimized for ease of use. However, the truly extraordinary aspect of this portfolio website is that the source code is entirely CSS driven HTML. There is no frame set! Steve uses CSS to mimic the functionality of frames. There are also no Java Scripted rollovers (Steve's are text based, for easy updates). And of course there are very few tables (Steve's code is mostly div's with a class and ID). For HTML junkies out there Steve provides a great snippets of embedded code to get an .swf file loaded on the page, so that it validates through the W3C. A nice bit of code to have handy, seeing as how Flash and Dreamweaver write invalid embeds. Steve began working on the web at Platt College San Diego in 2001. Since that time, Steve has produced many website's which have been published for clients around the world. Some of W.I.N's clients that I personally designed (and/or optimized): www.tomsfarms.com, www.Mischa925.com, www.guardsite.com, www.barraguard.com, www.remarkable-recovery.com, www.GunAccessories.com, as well as many others. Also check the new PlattDaddy.com web design portfolio search engine spider friendly drop down menu. A great example of Steve's unique style, take this portfolio website: It has a sleek and professional look using some nice photo shop work to make a shiny, glossy, metallic theme. As you surf through this portfolio web site you can't help but notice the sharp, usability driven style that tends to somehow compliment the CSS used in its construction. Please take some more time to brows through the web design portfolio web site of Steve's work. This is one portfolio web site that you are going to enjoy! -Kevin Stone - Learn how to make a portfolio, or get A pro to build your website for you at a great rate.
