BENNY MARTINSON

WEB DESIGNER COMPOSER ALASKAN WELL CRAFTED MINIMALISM

I'm a fresh perspective.

fresh.

More specifically, I'm Benny Martinson, a freelance web developer based in Indianapolis. I specialize in, well, just about anything you need to have done! With working experience in the languages and applications listed below, I can take on any project from designing a simple one-page site to creating a sophisticated web 2.0 application. And here's the best part: I don't charge an arm and a leg! Contact me to get more information!

But while I don't mind doing a lot of PHP coding, I see myself as more of an artist than a programmer. Both as a composer, published by Colla Voce Music, Inc., and as a web designer, I believe in close attention to subtle detail and thinking just a little outside the box.

I want to make your website, and I want to get started today! Let's do this.

As promised, here's my list of related skills:

• HTML, DHTML
  (I do all my design with raw code for better control)
• XHTML
  (this page is valid xhtml)
• CSS
• Javascript (including the jQuery, Prototype, Scriptaculous, and YUI frameworks)
• AJAX
• PHP
• MySQL
• Adobe Photoshop CS3

• Java
• Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0

Your site could be here.

AddaCMS.com This is the website for a Content Management System built on PHP and MySQL that I developed recently. The system is designed to be installed on a previously existing website, and is built to be far easier to use than any CMS I've ever seen. Don't believe me? Try the demo. The installation and software license come together at a very low price!
Speakers Lab Coverage Management System This project is a web application I created that allows members of the Butler University Speakers Lab to request and take coverage of work shifts. Includes several types of accounts, powerful database management, and a cutting-edge web 2.0 user interface.
BennyMartinson.com Look familiar? This site showcases aesthetic simplicity in design, as well as complex javascript animation, a changing background color, and an AJAX-based contact form.
NoMoreMarkup.com This Web 2.0 app is designed to help students at Butler University buy and sell their used textbooks between each other. It showcases a smooth AJAX user interface, grounded on mountains of PHP code and MySQL database integration
BeginBand.com This informative website was my first successful web project. While relatively simple, this site has helped its 100,000 some unique visitors find direction in beginning band and orchestra programs throughout the world.
TodaysComposers.com This website is companion to the TodaysComposers podcast which was created to give publicity to little-known but talented composers. It has led, among other things, to publishing offers and has helped me as a composer to sell many copies of my own music.

I want to create your site.
