I, White Ash, work alone and with qualified associates to get your work completed in a timely fashion. You get that pleasurable feeling of crossing off to-do list entries.

Since 2001, I have been overseeing web design, development, and management for over 50 clients. Word on the street is that I have a knack for explaining technical concepts in easily digestible morsels and that my training style is clear, effective, and fun. Wouldn't you like someone on your team that has an engaging and positive personality, while being respectful, detail-oriented, thorough, resourceful, and reliable?

Responsive? What?? Did you say "template"?!

Responsive Web Design

RWD. Three letters that pack a mighty punch. They stand for "Responsive Web Design". Should you care? Absolutely! In a nutshell, a responsive design means one that looks and functions well across devices ~ desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone ~ one design that rescales content, navigation, and images to fit the viewer's device. You're on a responsive website right now based on the Transition — V-card template. Your eyes do not deceive you! I just used the formerly reviled word "template", since it is the only feasible way to benefit from all that today's extensive RWD programming and HTML5 rich features have to offer. Never fear ~ imagery, fonts, colors, and more can relay your brand and one-of-a-kind digital presence.

Indeed, when ranking search results Google has begun factoring in adaptability to mobile. Not sure if yours will pass? Try Google's Mobile-Friendly Test.

Template. There, I said it again… solvibe is there to help you once you recover from the shock.


Affirmation

Patrick's Cabaret

"I have been working with White Ash for many years now. We worked together to create our website, and through the whole process he was supportive, professional and incredibly friendly, even when I was confused about the technical details! Throughout the years since we built our website, he has managed the content for us. He is helpful, offering suggestions for changes to our website and ways to improve our communication. He makes changes to our website in a timely manner, and is always willing to help in any way he can. He is truly a joy to work with."

Amy Hero Jones ~ Executive Director

LGBT Therapists

"White Ash has worked with the MN LGBT Therapists Network since 2003 in a variety of capacities, including designing and maintaining our website, and developing and maintaining our Wild Apricot online resource directory for our 100+ members. White Ash is incredibly creative, open, and full of ideas outside of the box. He has a unique talent combination: not only is he able to envision the big picture of a project but he is also able to track the smallest details. White Ash is efficient and responsible in completing projects and consistently provides impressive quality work. He takes initiative, stays in regular timely communication and, as an extra bonus, White Ash makes a project fun."

Health Transitions Therapy

"Working with White Ash has been a tremendous pleasure. He brings a deep ethical sincerity and professionalism to the process, provides open and honest feedback, and is responsive to needs that arise. I feel profound gratitude for White Ash's presence ~ for the beautiful outcome of my website as well as for for the experience of having technical work completed within an encounter with a truly kind, wise, genuine, authentic human being. I highly recommend White Ash's work!"

Rattle & Drum Journeys

"I could not have found a better designer for my website than White Ash. He knows his stuff and is a superb guide through the overwhelming labyrinth of the internet. His aesthetic sense is flawless. I spent days searching for images for the site without finding any that felt right to me, but White Ash found the perfect ones. His patience, while I sweated and obsessed over every syllable of my site’s copy, was worthy of Job. His feedback and advice were invaluable (and diplomatic). The site consistently generates unsolicited praise from people who have visited it. Thank you, White Ash!"

Timothy Cope ~ Shamanic Practitioner   »» website

Welcome Om Yoga

"As a novice with technology I wanted to have a web site to promote my modest yoga business. White Ash was easy to work with and created a beautiful WordPress website that fits me to a tee. Creative, easy to follow and unpretentious. I recommend him highly!"

Sharee Marcus, RYT ~ Pranakriya Yoga Teacher   »» website

Guided Mind Tour

"White Ash has been my personal and professional website manager for over a decade: He has designed new sites for me that I love; he has developed (and frankly, redesigned and cleaned up to effective functioning) my primary/earliest website; and he maintains my websites. I am utterly pleased and satisfied with not only the results of his work when I pull up my sites on my own laptop, but also with the extremely human process he leads me in to learn what I want and communicate with my options. I recommend his work without one single reservation!"
