Who's Rodney Drewery?
I'm a self-taught, book-loving, software junkie inspired by great digital design and standards-compliant, accessible, and user-centric web sites.
I have an appreciation of combining long-standing graphic design principals with a grounding in design for interactivity. The Web is a collage of technologies, which mean I must remaine creatively agile. There's no reward remaining stuck in old habits when the Web is changing daily.
I'm a big believer in recycling code, templates, and open source software to better serve my clients. The less time creating customized code, the more the client saves. Open source fits nearly any budget!
My standard tool set for prototyping, developing, and designing for the Web. 
Your Website has to look great regardless of which Web browser your visitors use. I use them all to develop, test, tweak, and publish. Although some more than others.
Free tools, more choices, tons of solutions. Choose the open source tools that work for you 
My love of photography is taking me places undreamed of just a short while ago. As such, I'm often inspired and in awe of a photographer's or artists website when they've taken the time to craft an attractive interactive gallery. Using Flash and other tools, I have a variety of solutions that will present your creativity to world.
The Web is a collage of technologies, creativity, and choice. "One size fit all" is not supported here. There's great utility in reusing structural and behavioral code and scripts; you only get a few precious seconds to capture your visitor's attention. I study the best practices of development and design and try very hard to succeed at knowing when and how to best use the technologies of the Internet and Web. This is what makes Web design a fine art. Behind every great site (or a bad one), is the programming code that make the magic happen. I'm a Web developer, as oppose to a application developer, which means I code in HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL to deliver content, share or collect data, and make sure a site looks good accross all top-tier browsers. The philosophy I adhere to is to seperate the three layers of a web site (presentation, structure, and behavior) in order to manage the development process, make my work fun, and appreciate the final product regardless of the type of computer I'm using.
