Hi, I’m Steve Giard and I’ve been involved with web design and development for over 10 years (back end & front end). I’m very passionate about all things web related and I’m on my path to being a web guru.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Who I am and What I do

I am extremely passionate about all things web and e-marketing. I am constantly striving to create the best user experiences possible, increase my technological expertise and keep up-to-date with web development best practices.

I thrive on challenge and staying abreast of ever-changing user expectations keeps me on my toes.

Some Highlights

After a website rebuild, using some usability theories I’ve developed after studying the analytics, I’ve increased the conversion rate from 0.01% to 3% within only a short month. I created techniques such as “Adaptive Content Strategy” where the home page is modified as per the users past browsing patterns. The website also has its own CRM system which I developed.

I’ve improved email click through by designing a more engaging email template. According to the A+B tests I did, the improvement was substantial.

I built a custom content management system for a small design firm. It allows the developer to easily edit pages without all the bells and whistles and complexities of larger CMS systems. It dramatically reduced production times for small business websites allowing graphic designers to become web developers.

I built a project management system with an invoice system for a design agency. Featuring a bar-code system for designers to scan dockets and have on display all the client and project information that’s required.

I built the PHP/MySQL backend for one of Canada’s largest printing directory. It featured geo-location, a client area to add and edit entries and an administration system allowing moderators to monitor entries and overall growth.
