Barnabas Toth

I have been using the Internet since 1994, a time when many individuals were still unfamiliar with services of the internet including: email and the World Wide Web. Since then, my skills have broadened greatly, gaining strong experience in multiple disciplines of information technology.

I specialize in web application development and database integration, focusing on implementing open source software and technologies, especially Content Management System (CMS) integration and customization built on LAMP framework. In addition to being a technology enthusiast, I have a strong background in web accessibility, usability and graphic design, internet technology and open source-based information technology infrastructure management solutions.

My services include: web design, web development, database, script, programming, logo and banner design, site promotion, search engine optimization, marketing, shared and dedicated managed web site hosting, and system administration. In short, I provide a turnkey solution for your needs whether you are an individual looking to establish on-line presence, a non-profit, a company, a corporation, and/or a non-governmental organization.

I have worked with and continue to work with corporate, non-profit, non-governmental organizations since 1998 as a freelancer, a consultant, and as a full time employee. I have contributed my skills and services to Fortune 100 & 500 clients such as: Wal-Mart, GM, General Electric, AT&T, Intel, Cisco, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, DirecTV, Sun Microsystems, Gannett, Pulte Homes, Media companies such as: New York Times, Reuters, NBC, ESPN, Playboy and NGOs like Department of Defense and UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women) as well as several small businesses and individuals.
