Steven L Smith
Web Developer
It seems these days that web developers are a dime-a-dozen. After all, what does it take to throw together a website? Certainly, anybody who's good with computers should be able to handle the job, right? What about your neighbor's kid? She's really good with computers! Let's let her do the site!
It's precisely this line of thinking that gets many companies headed down the wrong path with their website. Web Development is, simultaneously, an art, a skill, and a trade. The best web developers can shift seamlessly from designing a comp in Photoshop, to coding valid XHTML, to configuring Apache. They should be able to shift gears instantly from setting up a DNS Zone, to talking on the phone with a customer who can't seem to remember how to log in to the site's administration area…
In short, web development is a multi-disciplinary field, and it takes a certain kind of person to do it successfully. That "certain kind of person" is Steven Smith. You know all that gear-shifting we just talked about? He does that on a day-to-day basis. As the Web Developer for Nazareth College, he is responsible for balancing technical requirements and feasability, with the demands and requests of faculty, staff, and co-workers. At the same time, he maintains a portfolio of his own web clients — and has done so since 2001. From concept to design, programming to hosting, Steven Smith Enterprises can do it all.

Portfolio Highlight: BookDecay
BookDecay.com helps college students avoid unnecessary textbook purchases by providing a place for peers to discuss how professors use their required materials. After reading reviews, students can decide which books they need, and make purchases through trusted sites such as Amazon.com.
BookDecay launched Fall 2011, and we're continuing to improve it. As the CTO, I built the site using Django, and am working on a web crawler using the Scrapy framework.
