This is a web portfolio

Thanks for visiting the web portfolio of Martin Cortez.

I'm a web designer and developer living and working in Chicago, IL. I am passionate about making efficient and functional presences on the web, desktop, and mobile device.

Where I talk about my work

You have tons of options when it comes to your design and development needs. I would like to use the amazing and mysterious power of the bullet point to describe a few personal qualities that may make me the best choice for you:

• I'm Affordable

  Affordability
  
  Don't be bamboozled by the outrageous estimates of other designers and developers. I hate cliches about as much as I hate being over-charged.
• I'm Professional

  Availability. Responsiveness. Quality. To me these are more than just overused business catchphrases, these are the standards that I strive to deliver to each one of my clients.
  
  As evidenced in my About section, I have a substantial level of formal training and education from some of the highest-ranked institutions in the world. These experiences have not only shaped me into an awesome web guy, but they've also developed and refined crucial business skills. Things like listening for and eliciting requirements, responding to feedback, meeting deadlines, and maintaing a responsive level of communication with the client... again, more than catch-phrases, these are standards that I strive to deliver to you.
• I'm Spirited

  I bring just the right amount of enthusiasm and positivity to the table, free of charge.
  
  I'm crazy about design, i'm nuts for development, but what really keeps me motivated is knowing and using the power of these tools to fulfill amazing business potentials. The convergence of design and development towards meeting business goals is something that will never cease to amaze me.

And thank you for visiting
