When people ask me what I do with my spare time, I point them to this site. Basically, I have no spare time because I keep myself occupied just about every waking minute. If I'm not asleep there a pretty good chance you'll find me either working, riding one of my bikes, or I'm working on one or more web sites.

This used to be a hobby of mine. Now it's becoming what economists like to call a micro-business.

BigDogMoe.com started out as a favor to friends and family. Being the friendly and nearby techno-geek, I got the call when someone wanted help with his or her small business web site.

That was a long time ago. Sites were small and static. A few well formatted pages pretty much took care of everyone's needs. Nobody had to worry about getting hacked. Nobody had to worry whether their site had become a zombie for spammers, spewing millions of emails per hour on the site-owner's dime.

Things are much different now. Security has become every web site owner's main concern. Site owners demand professional sites - both in appearance and in operation - where dynamic content can be created, cataloged, and served to consumers who themselves participate in the content creation process. They also want results. They want to see their sites listed prominently in search results. They want to sell their products and services. They want to build communities around their brands, with their web site serving as a key enabler.

Get this. I'm still the guy they come to.

I have a toolbox full of software applications and scripts I use to build, host, and operate a growing number of sites. Each site is unique, but are built from the same "raw material". Many are built on the same content management engine, known as drupal. The advantages of building on a common site engine are too numerous to go into here; but the end result is I can do all those fancy things web site owners want and still have time left over for a bike ride.

If you've come here because you're interested in a site for yourself, your family, your organization... Let's connect and see if there is a way I might be able to help you. I no longer do this for free. I'm not what you'd call "high priced talent" (Some might even argue whether the word "talent" applies at all.), but I think you'll find what I do is well worth the investment.
