WHO AM I

My name is Mike Dukes, I spent 28 years as a musician, entertainer, band leader, show producer, song writer and promotion director. Worked with greats such as "Little Richard", "Maxima Show Band" and "The Nashville Impact". I was privileged to write a Billboard Award winning Hit Song for Epic artist Joe Stamply, "If You've Got Ten Minutes Lets Fall In Love".

I began website design in 1999 and have designed over 100 working websites and over 300 demo websites as well as design elements for other web design firms.

WHAT I DO 

I conceived, own and have web mastered ColumbusGeorgiaOnLine.com (CGOL) since July 4th, 2001. CGOL averages 900 visitors a day, and has many unique community features and resources.

I also designed and built Pest Products Online, a large e-Commerce website that requires my daily attention as it's webmaster. This site employs the expert SEO services of John Knox. In just 5 months with over 17,000 website competing for the key words, "Do it yourself pest control", Pest Products Online is listed on the first page. This is outstanding.

EDUCATION

In 1999 I saw great potential in the Internet and began intense study. I actually had an insatiable hunger to learn this stuff. Every waking moment I ran over technics and tricks of the trade. I studied month after month; year after year. I finally started to get a kick out of watching peoples eyes roll back in their heads when I talked computers. LOL

It would be misleading to say I was self taught, because I learned studying the works and writings of such greats as :::

  • Lynda Weinmann (element design)
  • Jackob Nielson (usability)
  • Curt Cloninger (website styles)
  • Dayton Davis (photoshop)
  • Robin Williams (website design)
  • Scott Kelby (photoshop design)
  • David Bush (digital photography)
  • Tom Ang (photography & photoshop)
  • Plus over 100 individual manuals and college text books dealing with one phase or other of web design, usability and photography.
  • Awarded WMasters Degree 2004
  • University of Hard Knox
ORGANIZATIONS

Chattahoochee Web Designers Association :
I am a member of a small, but talented, group of professionals that pools our talents as needed for projects; therefore you don't have to pay the salaries of a staff when they are not needed and I can offer CWDA services along with my own. This is truly a "Best Value".

 


National Association of Photoshop Professionals :
I am a member receiving on-going training in the latest technics and tricks with Photoshop Professional teachers.

About Copyrights ©

By law, the moment a designer creates a piece of artwork the copyright ownership belongs to the artist. When working with a freelance designer, the designer will most likely grant the client unlimited usage (in the case of web design) of the artwork - upon receipt of full payment of the designer's invoices. Failure to pay the designer's invoices infringes upon the artist's copyright. In essence, you are using artwork you have not paid for.

If you hire a graphic designer as a full-time employee, then anything the graphic designer creates for the company is the property of the Employer.
