About Doug Peters

LinkedIn continues to discombobulate my information. Here are the corrections: I still own and run Symbiotic Design. I am NOT selling it. Symbiotic Design has moved to a new URL: Symbiotic.DesignI am not looking for a job (LinkedIn is devoted to this), I\'m retired.I still support my customers.Specialties: Branding design and identity development; domain name speculation, investment and development; web and mobile presence design and development; usability improvement and user interface design. Positive impact logo design is one of my greatest strengths, utilizing symbols, shapes, colors and imprinted psychology to create a positively impactful iconic image requires research, time and creativity.Tools: Domain names, hosts, Illustrator, Photoshop, Filter Forge, HTML5, CSS3, Dreamweaver, Mobirise, Web Designer,TypeTool, ScanFont, FontStructor, web fonts,WordPress, MODx, Blogger, Tumblr, PLD, SMF, Word, Excel, Email, FTP, Google+, Twitter, Facebook, etc.Abilities:HTML & CSS coding, web design & development, copywriting, search optimization, online marketing, advertising (in traditional media and new media), illustration (digital and traditional), cartooning, caricatures, domaining and domain name sales, web hosting sales, web server sales, and PPC ad management.In today\'s world, it is important that we don\'t forget our common sense and over-think our strategies. It is as important as ever to understand that the impact of numbers and statistics have to be softened with our conscience and humanity so that we can all live ethically and morally. The truth is that man cannot multitask, only juggle jobs and tasks, as our brains are incapable of doing more than one thing at a time. Multitasking is actually proven to be a detriment in business because it introduces distraction which in turn elevates the propensity for mistakes. However, understanding this allows us the clarity to concentrate and focus on the project at hand. As it turns out, Warren Buffet declares that focus is the secret of success.I expect to provide the very best that a man can who is resolute to do no harm so that he can remain at peace with himself and his God. This means I am interested in doing God\'s best work for you, no matter my appointed position.Please note: Symbiotic Design is my company, which also runs quite a few business solution websites (so many that LinkedIn won\'t allow me to list them all). A few under Symbiotic Design: Salamander, Last National, Worthful, Font-Journal. Symbiotic Technologies division: Domain Hostmaster & HD Web Hosting.
