Jarrett Colby
Web Programmer & Designer
Bespoke websites and web apps from Chicago, IL
I'm a perfectionist developer focused on building unique and highly usable sites and applications for small businesses and nonprofits.
I pair breadth with depth: years of professional programming experience coupled with an understanding of graphic design enable me to complete web projects from front to back. From elegant homepage designs to extensible backend systems, I've got you covered.
I speak your language
If you're a stranger to web technologies, I'll teach you what you need to know to bring your organization online—in plain English. And if you're a fellow techie, we've got plenty to talk about.
Whatever your level of expertise, there is much we can learn from each other. Drop me a line. It's my pleasure to answer any questions you have.
Impeccable references
I'm blessed with an oustanding day job: the Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education at the University of Chicago trusts me with their website, their intranet, their custom CRM, and the numerous online surveys they conduct.
Have a look at some of the work I've done for them lately.
My toolbox
In case you know what technologies your sites needs, here's a list of the ones I use on a daily basis:
- Semantic XHTML
- CSS
- Ruby on Rails
- PHP
- SQL
- Javascript
- AJAX libraries like Script.aculo.us and YUI
- A/B Split Testing
- Content management systems (custom and off-the-shelf)
