Hi everyone, my name is Valik Rudd and I am based in a beautiful, small city of Coeur d'Alene in Idaho. As you can see, I’m a graphic/web designer. Most of the skills and knowlege I have are self-taught, but I did attend a small private school for a nine month Website Design program. Shortly out of school I got a job doing some web design for a small ISP in Spokane, WA. There I learned programming in PHP and MySql. While working on their website I also practived my skills on my own websites. Slowly, I nugged my self into the world of Internet Marketing, researching the search engines and learning every tip I could get my eyes on.

Six years later I decided to change the scene a bit and got a website design position at a medium sized retail and wholesale company in Coeur d'Alene where I am presently employed. I innitially started out as a Website designer and programmer, I started without any knowledge of ASP and within six months picked it up and am now programming fairly complicated projects using ASP and SQL. I also perform Internet Marketing and SEO for the company websites.
In my free time a maintain a number of my own websites and do freelance website design and programming work for a couple of clients. My major personal project is a Website Design Ideas Blog at wbDesignIdeas.com. It was started in September of 2007 and within three months built organic traffic of 8,000 to 10,000 unique visitors per month and a Google Page Rank of 3.
Thank you for visiting. Have a look around.
