Web Work
I believe in creating sites that are clean, easy to navigate, and low-bandwidth. To live up to these lofty ideals, I prefer to code sites with CSS and without using tables. LauraBirek.com was designed and coded from scratch using 100% CSS positioning. Check out my design gallery below for other sites I have designed. My coding resume lists sites I have developed on the front-end.
