Hi, I'm Gordon Brander

I'm a freelance web professional living in the beautiful state of Colorado.

I build beautiful things with the web standards trinity—XHTML, CSS and Javascript. That means pages load faster, content is more accessible, your information more Google-friendly, and your website future-proof as browsers continue to evolve.

I believe the web should be a friendly, simple, honest, engaging and accessible place, and I aim to make it that way, one site at a time.

If you're looking for beautiful, people-friendly designs that are built light and solid on semantic code, then I'm your man.

• Designing things both beautiful and functional
• Web publishing
• Semantic XHTML and Microformats
• CSS
• Javascript and AJAX (especially when flavored with Mootools, jQuery or Prototype)
• Wordpress, Drupal and Textpattern

I've done work in a variety of climes, from working with local businesses, to building my very own open-source CSS framework. Interested? See my work →

Gordon is an excellent web designer. He is committed to standards based, accessible and semantic code. His work is always well thought-out and he's continually learning and improving his skills.

Gordon is a detail oriented and self-disciplined worker. He has a lot of talent as a designer, and an incredible knowledge of HTML and CSS. He produces bomb-proof code, with user-centered designs. He optimizes all his work for fast load times on any connection.

Gordon helped get one of our new blogs up and running by installing Wordpress. Great work!

Gordon quickly wrote a slick, tidy WordPress plugin that did exactly what I wanted. He immediately understood what I needed, gave me clear and easy instructions, and suggested the best ways to use the plugin. He's a pleasure to work with, and I won't hesitate to call him again.
