Greetings and Welcome to MikeMadison.Net!

The site you see is an example of a dynamic, content managed web page. What that means, is that instead of simply using HTML to create the page, you are looking at a combination of a number of different coding languages (including CSS, HTML, PHP, Javascript, Flash, and MySQL) and its all brought together in a content management system called Wordpress. What’s all that mean for you?

When you build a professional looking site, your clients, friends, and even your family will be able to not only more easily navigate, but better enjoy the experience of visiting your page. For you? Even if you aren’t a coding prodigy (most people aren’t, its ok!), you’ll still be able to manage your own webpage. If you can use Microsoft Word, or even Notepad you’ll be able to simply add, edit, and remove content from your own site! Wordpress handles all of the “hard” stuff, so all you have to worry about is what you want to say.

Currently, I am a Masters Student at Indiana University. I am studying something called Human Computer Interaction Design, through the school of Informatics. Essentially, this is the study of how humans (that’s you) and computers (like this webpage) interact. It’s pretty exciting stuff, and it allows me to bring a much different outlook into the field of designing and creating web pages than most people with a pure “coding” background might have. I don’t just want the site to “work right” or “look right;” I want your customers / users / guests to be able to navigate the site in a way that is intuitive and allows for the best possible use of their time.

Feel free to check out my portfolio, where you can see examples not only of my web design work, but some of the work I’m doing in my master’s program. If you’re interested in contacting me, please do! I not only offer services in and around webpages, but also in general computer consulting and even retail aide. (Yes, shopping for home and business needs can be a pain.) Even though I’m located in Bloomington, Indiana, I serve most of the central / southern Indiana area. Currently I have clients stretching from Nashville, Indiana, through Bloomington, and up to Indianapolis.

Thanks for visiting my site, and I hope to hear from you!
