ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Don Steinberger.  I’m a front-end webmaster designer/developer skilled in HTML, CSS, javascript, and CMS integration.  I focus my attention on clean,  professional websites built primarily on the WordPress CMS platform. 

I have been a webmaster and web designer for 29+ years. I’ve created 1,250+ websites on 6 different CMS platforms and most recently have been focusing my work using the WordPress Platform and the Divi Theme.  I have found the Divi Theme by Elegant Themes to be one of the most versatile themes available in addition to my work designing websites using HTML Flexbox, Bootstrap, or just clean programming while creating my own themes and layouts. I am always pleased to find something new each time I begin a new website. I focus my efforts on attention to detail, aesthetics, and technical proficiency.  I spend my days crafting websites. I work for different-sized companies from small local businesses to huge international brands like universities. I’ve spent the past several years supporting businesses in Alaska and have recently relocated to Ellenton, Florida to escape the harsh winter climate.
