Kevin Flanagan has been developing with Drupal and other LAMP platforms for over a decade. He takes pride in exposing himself to all phases of web site development, beginning with requirement definitions, design and training.
"Understanding my client's needs is the most interesting part of development because it allows me to appreciate the complexities and importance of what they are creating or serving the needs of in their particular business."
This idea puts forth the notion that the client's expectations are paramount to the success of a site. When these needs are heard and reasoned through first hand by the architect and developer of the site they can be incorporated into the design of the application much more efficiently.
His technical skills include:
- Drupal 6.0 theme design - this includes all aspects of theming, including CSS positioning and coloring, page layout, and module theming down to the template level.
- Drupal module development
- PHP coding and modification
- MySQL administration
- SQL query string construction and anaysis
- CSS level 3 and 4 - There are no less than 5 major web browsers used widely today, and each uses its own interpretations of CSS implimentations. Internet Explorer 7 and 8 for instance are used by almost half of today's web surfers but these platforms are limitted to old rules of styling. Being aware of these limitiations is crucial to a successful web site design, otherwise you will alienate that half of your target audience.

- Complience to standards in code writting and editing

Jamie Valentin has been developing desktop applications since the mid-nineties, adding web development a few years later. He is recognized by his collueges as being a strong comunicator, posessing the graceful attributes of listening to challenges that are being discussed before contributing his well thought ideas.
Providing service to government offices, such as the Tenessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Tenessee Department of Finance and Administration, and North Carolina Department of Justice, he has developed user friendly systems for managing office assets, surplus property and help desk support systems.
Jamie has developed hard copy marketing materials, such as newsletters for the Sanford Zoo, menus for local restaurants, professional documents for the financial industry and large catalogs for the auto parts industry.
"A strong understanding of database development and analysis is critical to my clients since most applications rely on legacy data sources that need to be integrated."
Jamie has also provided photographic services for manufactured products, antique collections, wedding and informal portraits.
