I've been designing web sites for over 8 years now. I started off in web marketing and moved into more of a graphic design position. When Macromedia's Flash came out I became primarily a Flash Programmer/ Designer. I began working with Actionscript and learned Illustrator so I could manipulate vector files.

I've been designing web sites for over 8 years now. I started off in web marketing and moved into more of a graphic design position. When Macromedia's Flash came out I became primarily a Flash Programmer/ Designer. I began working with Actionscript and learned Illustrator so I could manipulate vector files. I also became extremely proficient with Photoshop and did a ton of web design and high end print work.

Later in my profession I started getting more into the heart of coding. I learned HTML, CSS, XML, DHTML and Javascript in the first few years of my programming career. I learned to code cross-browser-compatible, WC3 compliant, XHTML web sites. I began working with PHP & SQL while building user forums and CMS driven web sites.

For about the past 3 years I've been doing a lot of search engine work with all the major PPC programs. I currently run over 90 campaigns on Google, Yahoo & MSN. I continue to build, design, market and maintain websites. I currently maintain 15 major web sites for the company I work for. In addition I to that I run my own personal blog NateBal.com. [less]
