"David is as much a business consultant as a web designer. He (being an author as well) connects to my work naturally, is kind, patient, clever, and has helped me expand my business via the internet/e-marketing in ways I could have never executed on my own. He manages many of my events/programs from beginning to end (tactical web design as well as strategy, setting up and collection in automatic responder programs and more). I am very fortunate to have him as a partner."
"... it all looks outstanding. You have done an amazing job and you are a very reliable professional. I am so pleased that I have known you. You never cease to impress me with your work."
I have been designing websites and web-based multimedia products since before most people even realized the Internet existed. The ever changing design and communication technologies continually inspire me and my work to stay fresh and up-to date.
The one thing that distinguishes me from most other digital/multimedia developers is my focus on top quality customer service and communication. Not only that, because I operate as a one-man-band, my rates are below those of many of the better known and larger design firms. Another advantage is that you always get to communicate with me directly. There is no customer "service" person who doesn't understand what is going on.
Yet another difference that a lot of people have found helpful... I have a strong business background. Many times my "consulting" ideas and understanding of online marketing and business have helped make the difference between an "OK" project and a phenomonal one.
The emerging opportunities for the small to medium business to compete in an open market where size doesn't matter are truly amazing nowadays. Being Wishlist Member Certified (Membership sites), and having been through Alex Mandossian's Teleseminar Secrets and Podcast Secrets courses (with Paul Colligan), and worked through material from the online marketing experts - like John Carlton, Yanik Silver, Dan Kennedy, Andy Jenkins, Jack Canfield, and many others; I have an understanding of what it takes to sell (or attract clients and customers online). Indeed, many of the insights from these sources went into the development of my own successful Happiness Minute innovation that now includes audio postcards, a book, CD, iTunes album, and video.
Here are the areas I often
find myself working in:
Web Design - including design, domain registration and setup, hosting, Teleseminar Ask Campaigns, blogs, dynamic database driven sites, shopping carts...
Audio for Website, Video or CD - Advice on equipment and techniques, removing glitches from recordings, cutting and pasting segments, mixing with music or other recordings, mastering for CD...
Video for Website, YouTube, or DVD - Recording (if we are in the same place), editing titles, mixing additional images or soundtrack, transitions, effects, enhancing, DVD Menus...
Flash Animation - Creation of animated banner ads, screensavers, buttons or "eye-candy" for your project...
CD and iTunes Production and Publication - Handling the complete process from initial recording to CD and iTunes products delivered to you or your customers using my cost-effective production partners...
Book and eBook Layout - Both book interior and book cover design.
And if you need anything in a digital format created, produced or enhanced - contact me first. If I don't already know how to do it, I'll probably be keen to learn...
In the confusing world of digital development, I would be honoured to be your guide and advisor.

Note: I have been so busy over the past year or so that I have not had time to maintain and update the portfolio of sites and projects I have worked on. I will happily send you links to more recent work...contact@RevolutionMind.com.
The thumbnail screenshots below show two pages from each site and illustrate some of the sites designed. Clicking each image will open an enlarged pop-up of that image in a new window.
The quality of print and some colour reproduction has been compromised by manipulating image sizes for this portfolio. Where the site is still available on the internet, a hyperlink has been provided, but please read the comments in this regard - some sites have subsequently been modified in ways that are not supportive of my vision.
Please bear in mind that some of these sites were developed for viewing on older computers with smaller screens and lower resolution than is common today.
