Located in the Twin Cities (Minnesota), Concerto Designs is a small website design studio that offers affordable website development and information architecture services for small- to medium-sized businesses and non-profit organizations. I specialize in open-source, Content Management Systems that deliver cost-effective, user-friendly websites that are rich in features. I also provide photography and media editing services.

Content Management Systems (CMS) allow end-users access to and control over their websites. The primary goal is to disperse and re-channel the flow of ideas and information so that end-users are able to create, edit and revise content, images, and even stylistic choices whenever they wish. Probably the most popular CMS in use today is Joomla, a suite of integrated, dynamic components that allow tremendous flexibility in a wide range of applications. Concerto Designs has created Joomla sites for a multi-partner, psychology/healing services practice in Minnetonka, the music programs at St. Mark's Cathedral (Minneapolis), Abiding Savior Lutheran Church (located at the foot of my street in Mounds View, MN), community activists in Northeast Minneapolis, a large horse farm and training facility in Hugo, MN, a piano teacher in Anoka, MN, and St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Roseville, MN.

In addition to creating original designs for all of these sites, I also provide organic SEO strategies, marketing consultation, and information architecture services. Many of these sites highlight attractive graphic displays and AJAX features that have only recently migrated to the Joomla platform.
