What this place is...

First off, welcome to newly created site for my portfolio and blog. You're probably aware by now that I am Clayton Nichols. On this site you'll see portfolio work, as well as anything I decide to throw up here that I'm working on. You'll also see that I have a fully functioning blog talking about all of the things that I encounter through my life day in and day out. Whether it's about social media, web design, or purely just for entertainment, I hope you find what you're looking for here. Most importantly, this entire site is created so that you can get an in depth look at who I am, what I'm about, and what I can create for you.

What I am...

Besides a male human, I'm a professional web designer and developer who has taken a large interest in all things SEO(search engine optimization). Over the past few years I've held jobs where I've been fortunate enough to learn and practice my skills in order to grow and become a more well rounded designer as well as an individual. I'm more than willing  to provide and adapt the skills I've learned into the various projects that you may need.

What I know...

In 2004 I graduated with honors from Pittsburgh Technical Institute with an associates degree in Multimedia Technologies.  While in school I learned the basics of web design.  I gained knowledge in HTML, Actionscript, MySQL and various graphic design techniques.  While working in the field immediately after graduation, I've kept up to date on current web standards as well as learning CSS(this site is built without tables), PHP, and various content management systems like Wordpress and CouchCMS(CMS for this site).  If there's anything you have questions or concerns with, please feel free to contact me, I'd be more than happy to answer any and all questions you may have.  If you're also looking for any kind of freelance work to get done, feel free to contact me as well, I'll get back to your request as soon as I can.
