About me

A small introduction about my self

John M. Pascual

Web Designer & Web Developer from Los Angeles, CA

I am a web designer and developer available for web development projects of any size. Need a website that not only looks good but creates business? I can handle everything from setting up your domain name and emails, organizing your websites content structure, wireframing, design, development, search engine optimization and security.

I’m a designer as well as a developer so I know how important both the look and functionality of your website is. I understand SEO, and how to get the best from your website to attract traffic and conversions.

I mostly work with small to medium sized businesses as well as other design studios within the Los Angeles area. I now focus solely on digital design and development, specializing in development using WordPress as my chosen CMS (Content Management System).

Outside of work I enjoy hiking, playing guitar/piano, cooking and watching TV shows.

Favorite TV: Breaking Bad, Homeland, Stranger Things, The 100, The Americans, and the Walking Dead.

What I Do

My Core Services

Web
Design

Web Design

UX/UI Designer / Adobe Photoshop / Adobe Illustrator

There’s a lot of website design options out there – so why me? Well I’m a bit different to most web designers out there in that I also develop the websites I design. A lot of companies will have one person or team designing how the website will look and another separate person or team coding and implementing that design. By doing both I can ensure that the website stays true to what we planned from your initial briefing. It also means that any future changes, be they design or functionality, can be handled by myself, giving you one point of contact.

Website
Development

Web Development

Wordpress / PHP / MySQL / HTML5 / CSS3 / Flash / jQuery / Javascript

I’m a front-end web developer that understands the importance of design. I’m a trained programmer with a bachelor degree in Computer Science and over ten years exprience in website development. The majority of my websites are built using a Content Management System (CMS) called Wordpress. WordPress being an open source system is highly cost-effective. It is also highly customizable and ever growing and changing.

Extra Stuff

Other Services I Offer

E-commerce

Woocommerce / Magento / X-cart / Shopify

For a few years now I've gathered a vast amount of experience in setting up and managing E-commerce solutions, using platforms such as Woocommerce (extension to Wordpress Platform), Magento, X-cart and Shopify. All these platforms are great and serve the same purpose (to sell your products), the main question is which solution is best for your business? Having had hundreds of hours of hands on experience with all these platforms, after learning more about your business requirements, products, and short/long term goals, I will be able to guide you and set you up with the right platform that will serve your business scaling needs.

Flash Animation

Flash & HTML5 Animation

Adobe Flash / Swishmax

When Flash broke on the scene, it was a fairly revolutionary tool… and much simpler to use than it is today. I first started using it in 2003 and most of my website development back then was built using Flash and everybody loved it, but today people are quick to dismiss it for the reasons that it is not viewable on iOS Apple devices. In my opinion Flash is still a great tool for creating animation sequences which can then be converted to HTML5 (for compatibility with iOS devices), so if you're in need of some animation services, my well developed Flash skills from way back 2003 can surely come in handy to serve your needs.

Managed Hosting

Shared Hosting / Backups / Malware Scanning / Site Optimization / Wordpress Updates

Just like any software that you have on your computer or phone, WordPress needs to be backed up and updated on a regular basis. If you lack the technical skills, then average web hosting can become a hassle as your site grows. You have to worry about security, you have to worry about updates, you have to worry about site speed, you have to worry about site up time, and much more. Keeping a website secure is a full time job. That’s why I'm here to act as your own personal system admin to manage your website and keep your hosting safe from intruder attacks.
