Approved Subjects

CSS

CSS

As a Web Designer for 5+ years with a focus in WordPress, I rely on CSS coding quite a lot in projects that I am involved with throughout the year. Mostly fo fixing display issues with various WordPress plugins or setting up layouts with content ready to go live. I have taken several web design classes in college but mostly self taught and I keep myself as current as possible with CSS by being a member in several web design groups both on LinkedIn and Facebook.
Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver

I have used Dreamweaver as a tool to help students of all levels of web design experience and help troubleshoot coding issues to guiding students to achieve results in completing school assignments or if they are looking to start a career in web design.
HTML

HTML

I have been a web designer for 5 years, including in HTML.
Web Design

Web Design

I am a web designer by trade as I work with both businesses and non-profit organizations in building a better online experience. I am mostly self taught when it comes to web design but I have taken a few college courses that revolved around Web Design and Content Management systems. I mostly work with WordPress CMS and that requires several types of skills. This includes SEO, Image/website Optimizations, website security as well as graphic design and coding in HTML, CSS and learning PHP and MySQL as well.

Michael is very knowledgeable and also a talented teacher

Michael teaches me a new skill set every time I work with him. He is a very skilled listener and extremely organized about how he organizes the subjects he is helping to instruct.

Adaptable and Helpful

Michael helped me with my initial inquiry of backing up my company's wordpress website and some plug-in questions. While fixing the original issue, a new issue arose and Michael was able to problem solve this along the way, despite it not being the issue I inquired about. He was timely with his responses and dependable with his time. I am very satisfied with his work and will reach out again for his knowledge in the future.

Knowledgeable and willing to help

Working with Michael on WordPress and website information. He has gone above and beyond my expectations. He has helped me immensely in not only getting what I need done, but also making sure I understand what is going on. I would very highly highly recommend him to help anyone that is needing a tutor. You couldn't ask for anyone better.

Wordpress genius!

I've had a few sessions with Michael, he is so helpful and a great teacher who has so much knowledge and expertise in Wordpress/web design/CSS etc. I went from knowing nothing about Wordpress to now being able to navigate WP and edit my website on my own. Michael walks me through everything so I actually learn how to edit the site on my own. He always answers and explains all of my questions and I learn so much from our time together. My husband uses him for his own site as well. I also appreciate his flexible schedule and that he is able to go overtime when needed. I highly recommend Michael for all of your website needs.

I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who needed help with web development or wants to learn WordPress!

Michael was able to find and fix a major error on our church website in a limited amount of time. Also, he created for me a list of steps needed to be taken in order to update information on the website. I will take more lessons.

Patient, helpful and knowledgeable

Michael helped me tremendously with my Wordpress website. He was very patient with my lack of techie knowledge. Paying for a 2 hour session was well worth my time and money. Wish I had done it before the weeks of frustration trying to figure things out myself.

Christi, 1 lesson with Michael

Excellent tutor- good listener.

Michael was fantastic to work with, we're not done yet. When I started with Michael I knew zero about the software and I have made such tremendous progress in 2 and a 1/2 hours. Looking forward to continuing to work with Michael.

Patient, friendly, and helpful

Once again, Michael came to my rescue and helped me figure out an issue I was having. He was also super prompt with replying to my request and meeting with me last minute.
