ABOUT SCHILDBACH DESIGN
Schildbach Design specializes in creating websites and identity for small businesses, sole proprietors, and non-profits. We do projects for the web, print, and environmental graphics. Schildbach Design is Stephen Schildbach with the occasional help of colleagues in the design community when extra needs arise for web development, flash, and photography. Stephen has been a graphic designer and web developer for two years and involved in the commercial arts for 15 years. He works locally in Seattle, WA and has clients throughout the U.S.
Schildbach Design's specialty is designing websites. Most of Stephen's clients are small businesses and non-profits. More specifically, he has done several websites for clients in medicine and counseling.
Stephen creates all websites for the client with W3C compliance, which means your website will not fall apart as technologies change, and the development of the site follows industry standards. He develops the sites using XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and MySQL. For the client who needs to update their own website, the best solution is designing for a Content Management System (CMS). Stephen's favorite CMS's to work with are Concrete5 and Wordpress.
THE WAY I WORK
I am available to work on freelance assignments and part time contracts. While the common demand is "How fast and cheap can I get it", my work ethic is about quality over quantity, enjoyment over speed, and human relationships over professional appearance. In the end, I still am very affordable and get my jobs to the client when they need it.
THE WAY I PLAY
What makes me the happiest is being with my wife Monica. When I'm not at the computer, you'll find me at the yoga studio, on my bike, hiking, camping, backpacking, or cross-country skiing. If I'm not in the Seattle area, I'm either visiting family or on a 3 week adventure in some other part of the world.
