JeremiahTolbert.com: SF Writer Web Designer Photographer

Freelance

I am currently available for small scale freelance design projects. I specialize in genre fiction-related sites, whether for authors, books or publishers. I am experienced in developing WordPress and MovableType backed content management systems. Visit my portfolio for a list of links to sites that I have built.

Some Notes on My Process

I prefer to take work referred to me by friends and associates, but don’t hesitate to contact me you don’t fall under that category. I reserve the right to pass on projects for which I don’t feel I would be a good fit. If you are considering an e-commerce website, I am not the best designer on the market. I am not a developer, but I am more than capable at working with and customizing off-the-shelf sofware like WordPress.

I work almost exclusively via email. I do take phone calls if necessary, but I prefer to communicate with my clients via email for maximum efficiency. This helps me keep my rates down, and because my freelancing work is a sideline to a full-time job, it allows me to use my time most effectively.

I currently only take on one project per month. Contact me to inquire on my specific availability. I work on a first-come, first-serve basis.

My rate is $50 an hour. I provide hosting for $20 a year, or can work with any hosting company of your choice.

This article is a very good summary of the process involved in developing a site, from concept to Photoshop mock-ups to HTML/CSS coding and final release. This is almost exactly the process that I use, so if you’re thinking of working with me, I highly recommend checking it out.

If you’re interested in hiring me, please drop me a line via the contact form. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • On The Popularity of Steampunk 11:07 am May 8, 2008

    Image via Wikipedia

    Does the New York Times article on Steampunk mean the genre/fashion craze has made the high water mark and will begin to recede from here? What is the shelf-life of an aesthetic movement, and for that matter, what is the sociological force behind this particular movement?
    It’s a Stylistic Rebellion
    Particularly as an aesthetic [...]

  • Anatomy of a Steampunk Photoshoot 11:20 am May 1, 2008
    Filed Under: Featured Resource, Photography, Top Post, Tutorial

    This was my first serious shoot with logistics involving a model, costuming, and a shoot location. To spend an hour and a half behind the camera, I spent probably 4 hours doing the various administrative tasks to set up. Here’s an overview of the process we went through to get the pictures I wanted.

    Continuing on the thoughts of yesterday’s post, I’ve recently read Clay Shirky’s speech, “Gin, Television, and Social Surplus.” You can read a transcript of it, or watch a video. I highly recommend checking out one or the other and coming back here. I’ll wait. For the lazy, here’’s a choice bit [...]

  • Making FlickrRSS Work for Me 10:48 pm April 10, 2008
    Filed Under: Web Design/Javascript, Top Post

    My goal with this new site is to not only to design a very clean, beautiful site, but to also showcase some of the nice effects that are possible with javascript libraries like jQuery (and teach myself how to effectively use them in the process). Last night, I worked for over 6 hours simply [...]

  • Why Giant Mecha Robots Are Totally Awesome 10:00 am February 7, 2008
    Filed Under: Speculative Fiction, Top Post

    Sci-fi rant: Why giant mecha robots are stupid | Geekend | TechRepublic.com
    Jay Garmon has written a very well thought-out article on why giant mecha robots are stupid and will never work. I am afraid I must provide a counter to this article. Giant mecha robots are also totally awesome, and I think he’s wrong. [...]
