About Max
Hi, my name is Max West.
I can help you build your website and even more importantly your business on the web. I have been fortunate to have over 27 years business experience in the computer industry and was even around to help facilitate SOHO business entry and use of the world wide web when it first began to become popular in the 1990's.

My career background and work skills history:
Website Design, Webmaster Support, Hosting Services and Support System Administrator, Computer and Network Technician and Support with . . .
• 9 years custom web site design, webmaster, hosting support experience
• 23 years desktop publishing experience
• 27 years of computer operating system, application software and computer hardware
• build, install, troubleshooting, support experience
• 7 years LAN system admin experience
• ComptiaŽ; A+ Certfied Technician
• ComptiaŽ Network+ Certified Technician
My perspective is I that see the "big picture" on how to cost effectively help your business to enter and establish a professional presence on the world wide web. I have a lot of years of experience in learning what you are wanting to accomplish with your business and your website. I won't waste your time and my goal is to monetize your website for you so it is funneling in additional revenue that you would never see if you were not on the web in the organic top search engine returns.
I am the webmaster and site designer of several large local websites. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity of becoming your site designer and support person too. If you like what you see here and in my portfolio please feel free to contact me for professional assistance on how to cost effectively design, implement and manage your current or next web site project.
My mission is to design, build, support and maintain your website so that you are free to take care of your business - and I will take care of your website.
My objective is to eliminate the hassles, high costs and sales tech "myth and hype" that surrounds the web and just get the job done for you.
My design style is focused on building real life business websites that are original in visual appearance that have a unique, "home town", brick and mortar, real biz feel and quality. I build into the design foundation a solid static menu navigation, ethical "white hat" SEO** and linking with the focus on using the site to help build your biz on the web. I firmly believe in measurable standards and verify all my HTML code work to be W3C compliant.
Please note that my websites are not like template pushing resources or typical web designers and free template sites that can not be wholly owned by you the client. If you check the fine print on most all template products and typical web design companies and even independent services you will find that "they" or their template source own the code - not you the client.
This can create a severe problem in the future either for your pocket book, upgrade and support satisfaction, or freedom to change web designers and hosting services. For this reason I do not use "fill in the box" templates but rather choose to build your web site from scratch with "royalty free" graphics and HTML code.
This also gives me much more creative control over keeping the site faster loading, adding or changing colors, custom graphics, site screen sizing, initial and future page expansion, adding custom forms, static search engine friendly hyper text linking, custom menu bars and most importantly keeping the HTML code clean and W3C standardized. This facilitates the website to open and operate normally on most all the current common operating systems and web browsers. It also minimizes your hosting server expenses and maintenance.
My business plan is that you too will become a very happy and satisfied customer who will be with me for many years to come based on my performance and not just a website design contract. A client who values the personalized "hands on" professional services that I will provide you and your businesses in the years to come. I hope that you too will get to know and appreciate the fact you now have a web site support and service friend who sincerely wants to see your web business succeed and grow on all levels and will always do my best to see that objective accomplished.
If you have any concerns please feel free to review my portfolio for real life examples of my work, and contact any of my clients for their candid professional reference.
Yes, I am a self employed one man shop and proud of it!
Why is this? Here are some often over looked facts . . .
• We are the statistical "normal" business type as over 72% of all registered tax paying businesses in the USA are sole proprietorships.
• We are the working middle class backbone of this country.
• We often are the grass roots "get it done" local services and product suppliers that families and businesses depend on.
• We stay within our means, pay our bills and are happy to be average hard working Americans.
• We take pride in our work and appreciate the freedom of expresssion and opportunity being self employed has to offer us.
• We pay our taxes and contribute to the productivity and grass roots health of our economy at the local level.
• Unlike large corporations our primary goal in business is not more money, power and politics rather our family, quality of life and the satisfaction of service to our customers and communities.
• In down times we adjust, roll up our sleeves and work smarter and harder to get through them as better people and businesses.
As for me, I really do see my business as an extension of myself and my life work so I take it as an honor to have the opportunity to be self employed and to serve you, your family and your business.

Conga Percussionist
Do you enjoy rhythmic Latin, Spanish, Cuban salsa styles of music and maybe even some upbeat latin jazz and island rhythms? Well I often have had the amazing opportunity to play conga percussion with area bands and even some solo gigs too. My specialty is four drum Cuban melodic style. Please feel free to contact me about upcoming gigs and events, join my mail list and be sure to come on out and enjoy the music and fun.
New life follower and student of Jesus Christ
This spiritual relationship and life long experience is the most exciting and powerful influence on my whole life. The foundation for my happiness, my enjoyment of life, value system and continual spiritual growth. I can honestly say I have met Jesus and that He was raised from the dead and is alive today! If you would like to know more about Him on a first person basis please feel free to contact me.
I really look forward to the opportunity to serve you and want to wish you much success with your business and website objectives!
