I've finally decided to design my Showcase page, as my oDesk portfolio didn't meet my needs anymore.
I wanted to do this long time ago, but always something "more important" showed up (clients projects, homework, football, 
with my friends :).
What made me to do it? It's a web-design contest at my University named "StudIT" in which I want to participate.
I guess that first of all I should really introduce myself, so, hello, I'm Stafie Anatolie - a mortal on this planet called Earth.
I was born on August 10th 1989 in Chisinau, Moldova and currently study computer science at the West University of Timisoara, Romania - but still have some time to do some freelance work with my colleague/roommate/FRIEND - Sirbu Andrei.
My first programming/design experience was 3 years ago when I came to study in Timisoara (1000km distance from my homeplace).
Since then, I'm like a sponge - I absorb every new thing I see on the web.
I listen. I learn. I implement. Having me on your side, you can rest assured you will get the best of the best.
Because second best will never do.
I'll ask you about your goals.
I'll take a look at your competitors websites and make sure I do it better.
I'll draft up wireframes and present you with all of my ideas on how to display your information and business to your customers.
This is where your website will come alive with strong use of Colours, texture, and emotion. I'll enhance your brand throughout the website and make sure it stands out in the crowd and leaves a lasting impression on your visitors.
My sites are always built with the best techniques, and most appropriate CMS's available. Through progressive enhancement I make sure your site looks stunning to modern and future visitors will have great experience on your site.
Have a project? Question? Or just want to say hi? I'm always on the look out for new interesting projects and collaborations to get involved with. Fill out the form so we can get started. I realize it can be hard to know what to say in the first message, so here's a quick guide to help us have a successful start:
- Do use your real name. If the email comes from "xyz@zzz.com" I'm not going to take it seriously. - Do mention your company's name, or any additional details that might make me want to work with you.
- Do explain your project in enough detail. Just pretend I'm a potential investor and you're trying to convince me to invest in it. After all, even though you're paying me I'll still be investing my time.
- Don't ask for an estimate unless you're giving me enough details to make one. I can't count how many times I've received messages asking me "how much would it cost to design a website?".
- Do answer back even if you don't want to (or can't) work with me anymore. You never know, you might need my services in the future, so you might as well end things on a polite note.
