My name is David Siegfried and I am a Front-end Web Developer/Designer. My passion in web is creating accessible, standards based code with an eye for user interface and tight, clean design. I use a set of wonderful design and development tools to accomplish my goals and pronounce my passion. This tool set includes but is not limited to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, the Adobe Creative Suite and WordPress.
I believe strong in standards based web design. I believe in a web where interfaces and applications use the newest features to deliver the best products and degrade gracefully to support older systems. Designers and developers struggling fruitlessly for needless pixel perfection is, in my mind, a needless, wasteful task holding an emerging web back. However, I often succumb and have long whiled away nights correcting for older browsers. The project, as always, steers the technology and the design fits the need. In all of this I never forget that content is king and the web is at its best as an intuitive, simplistic platform meant to assist people in leading their ever more complicated lives.
I currently live in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul with my lovely wife Lauren. We live close to our families as we are both very family oriented people. We have four brothers and a sister between us, as well as four nephews between the ages of two and nine, cousins, grandparents and friends all living in the area. I try to be as active as possible in my off-line life but enjoy films, games, walks, water and sunny beaches.
