Hi, my name’s Sarah Valadez and I am a web designer and developer. This portfolio demonstrates my creative abilities as well as my technical capabilities as a web designer/developer. I have recently become addicted to Wordpress and Smashing Magazine, and am always looking for the newest and most appealing trends and fun things you can do with design and development.
I was introduced to the world of Wordpress just a little over a year ago, and have not looked back since. All sites I’ve created in the past I now want to redesign in Wordpress. It is a wonderful tool for designing and developing, making it so much easier for clients to update their own sites and not have to rely on the designer to do it for them. It is also great for Search Engine Optimization, with more plugins than you can imagine, with almost unlimited capabilities.
My other love right now is the E-commerce platform Magento. I actually have a love-hate relationship with this system… since it is still so new, there are many obstacles that have been difficult to get by, along with so many things to learn. It’s a great platform though, and I’d suggest anyone who has an online store to switch to Magento. It will make your life so much easier!
