hi there.

My name is Brian Stich. I design and build websites.

One of my great passions is to take the latest web design methods- study them, enhance them, dress them up, and let the resulting design put a contented smile on my client's face.

~More than a Web Designer~

I'm A Family Man,

I live in Charlotte, NC with my beautiful wife and two fantastic children... Life is good.

(former) Computer Tech,

I've worked as the computer technician for an overseas non-profit organization.

But Most Importantly...

Jesus Christ is my Life. He has done all that is necessary for me to spend eternity with God.
Do you know Him? Find out more about what He has done for you.

some things i know.

The Tools of the Trade

These are my tools. They are the software standards of serious web development: Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks.

Joomla! CMS - PHP - MySQL

Joomla! is undoubtedly the best open source Content Management System available today. I have worked with Joomla since its inception, and have developed countless design templates for the framework. Completely database-driven, Joomla can do things that old-school html-only web sites could only dream of. Everything from dynamically generated content, to user suscriptions, media galleries and more.

CSS & XHTML Valid Compliance

Today's web standards embrace the principles of table-less design. CSS-based layouts are really the only way to go. I am committed to using no tables in my design and development. Wondering why? Read this.

MooTools - JavaScript Effects

Want some milk with that java? Sure - MooTools! It's a smart and compact javascript library that allows me to create cool effects like the ones you see in this site. This is all done without the use of Flash, so your browser doesn't require any additional plugins to make it work. What's more, it's fast-loading!

put me to work for you.

or just let me know your thoughts. i'd love to hear from you.

Pure Joomla!

In 2006, I developed a website specifically devoted to Joomla template designs utilizing the latest in web design standards. At first I sold my designs one-by-one, but Pure Joomla! soon grew into a full blown template club. Now with hundreds of subscribers worldwide, Pure Joomla! is a force to be reckoned with.
