Company description

Code4Humanity focuses on the Top 4 priorities for molding a start-up/small business to the ultimate corporation; Branding, Marketing, Print, Web-design & development.

 

Branding & Identity - When it comes to branding a company, creating the ideal corporate image is ultimately the biggest part of the project. Working closely with each of his clients and understanding their needs, Code4Humanity has always been successful at creating the perfect brand image for each of his clients so they will always be perceived as a high-end company among their peers in the corporate world. Malek Dental, came in for a simple website and I had them walking out the door with an elegant looking website, branding them as the 1st eco-friendly dental office in the Bay Area! My services exceed my clients expectations, which is why they trust their brand with my expertise.

Marketing - It's no joke that I have the skill in the marketing field, within 3 hours, I managed a Facebook blast to obtain the 49 votes needed to not only be one of the highest receiving votes in the WebsiteSpark competition, but to knock out the 5th place out of the competition to be a part of the TOP 5! Using the knowledge acquired from San Jose State's Business Department, I know how to implement the correct keywords to optimize catchy campaigns for Adwords and create a SEO website for his clients. Born and raised in the Silicon Valley, this skill-set reinforces the services I provide for the vast amount of Start-Ups and small businesses that require my attention and local knowledge of how the technology industry operates. For all companies, inside and out of the Greater Bay Area, I still offer services such like facebook fanpages to achieve maximum attention.

Print - Anything from business cards, presentation folders, banners, letterheads... I know how to handle it! Although digital media is vital, printed material is essential for trade shows. O&Y Precision, a family-owned machine shop needed my expertise for creating presentation folders to handout at a variety of the trade shows they attend. PowerBeam, one of my most valuable clients, needed a whole set of marketing materials for the CES Conference for both 2009 & 2010. Within the past few years, I have worked closely with their Marketing Specialist to develop the best printed material to accommodate their trades hows.

Web-design & development - The internet is cluttered with websites and excessive data that is overwhelming with information. With the proper procedure, I design high-end website that are SEO and campaigns that allow my clients to be available to prospective clients. Once the attention is caught, I display amazing graphics to keep viewers interested in the web-content. In addition, I work with 3DS Max and the Adobe Suite to create the ultimate visuals. One new trend in web development is using other resources and creating web-applications, which I know how to make from scratch. A personal project to be launched in Fall 2010 is Flashcard Deck, which allows students to network with friends to create studying material and study them faster! This revolutionary application will change the way students work and uses the most notable technology to create the ultimate user-experience interface.

Competitive advantage

Fundamental design combined with brilliant concepts that change the way people see websites and advertisement.

 

UX, Functionality, Technology
User experience is KEY! Not only do I use the basic UX adapted from the competitive websites found online, but I try to push our functionality a step forward and test it across all browser platforms to create the best user experience.

 

Team
As a 1-man team, work may be overwhelming at some points, but I can not complain, web-design and development is my life!  Occasionally, I might delegate some of my power to my respected peers to assist me with certain projects, but all hours aside, I am focused and driven to provide the best service for all of my clients.  The trust between my clients and myself is high on the charts, it makes sense why they choose me to create websites for a start-up or develop presentable marketing material for venture capitalists!

 

Technology
There is always room for improvement when keeping in touch with the variety of software available, but I do use tools from Microsoft Office, Adobe Suite and a handful of other software to generate the websites.  By creating my own layouts, applications and Content Management System, I have grown to understand how to handle new software and can easily adapt.

 

For Web design companies
UX standards provide the basis for a general website, but I transform the interface and experience with exceptional graphics and easy to follow functionality. Creating an easy-to-follow CMS for the clients and the end-users allow the optimum results when it comes to browsing the internet, which carries the emotions onto a branding level.  No matter how well a website is designed visually, if it's not easy to use, it won't be used for long!
