My first paid web job was about 17 years ago. I was contacted by a family friend to create a website for her business. I hand-coded the HTML 4.0 and CSS 2, and used Flash for buttons and a little pizzazz. It's Arizona Title and Escrow and you can see my process and some examples at my online web portfolio. I did quite a bit of freelance work after that but since my accident I've had a hard time finding work; I know I have a ways to go in getting better with JavaScript and associated frameworks but I have other talents and abilities that I could use on-the-job right now.
