A few words...

When people ask me what I do for my job, it takes a few minutes for me to explain. I could simply respond by saying that I design websites, but that wouldn't do it justice. Usually I go into explaining what we do at OrangeSoda to market our client's websites before I even start my explanation of what I do at StudioFizz. This is because web design is much more to me than creating a good-looking site. It's about performance, goals, conversions, and measurement.

I have always been interested in business and entrepreneurship, in fact I graduated from Brigham Young University in Business Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship. So when I design and build a website, I'm not designing for myself, I'm designing for the user. I try to see things from the client's perspective so that the website can do more than just make the visitors ooh and ah at its appearance. I want them to take action!

I have been doing this for years now. It put me through college and has now taken me to bigger and brighter things. Over the years I have learned how to build better websites in a much shorter time—Now I'm passing that knowledge on to my co-workers and while I learn from them. Together we are building websites for our clients so they can actually see, measure, and enjoy results.

I started my career in this industry as a part-time salesman for ah-ha.com (now Enhance.com). It didn't take me long to figure out that I couldn't sell anything. One of my clients, Phil, introduced me to web programming. A programming book and about 10 hours later, I had built my first dynamic web site. I now spend my entire day programming web sites. As strange as it may sound, I really enjoy turning a design into a functional, intuitive website.

I like to keep both the client (visitor) and the operator in mind when developing websites. In order to appeal to the client, I constantly ask myself questions like, "How will this page be used?" "Where is the most logical place for this element?" and "How can I simplify this page?" If a site is easy to navigate, visitors will return. In order to help website operators I make powerful tools that are easy to use, reports that are extremely descriptive and menus that are simple and intuitive. A website should be easy to use for both the client and the operator.

All of our websites are built using the latest releases of Apache, PHP and MySQL.

Claye is one of our web designers. He is from Preston, Idaho, where he grew up with a love for art, drawing, and music. As a young teenager in a town with nothing to do spent a lot of time browsing around the net (good ol' 56k) and developed a strong interest in in everything web-related. He taught himself html, javascript, and eventually css, developing his first (very elementary) websites in high school.

Combined with his love for art and creativity, this led to an exciting career in web design, where he has the opportunity to assist business owners in marketing their products to a worldwide audience. Claye couldn't be happier with his career with Studio Fizz. In a team environment like this his creative, out-of-the-box skills are complemented by his expert co-workers and together they achieve brilliant results for their clients.

Claye is currently an undergraduate studying advertising with an emphasis on advertising design. He constantly keep himself up-to-date with advertising and marketing trends, theories, and practice to give Studio Fizz clients the most effective online presence possible.

I have worked the last two plus years selling, building, optimizing, managing, updating, consulting, advising, directing, and producing websites, website projects, web applications, and many more web-related-things.  Currently I am the Project Manager for Studio Fizz, an up-and-coming web design giant. If you have any questions or concerns,  hopes or dreams, visions or revelations, ideas or plans, about jobs, projects, or anything to do with Studio Fizz or any of its members, I can help you.
