Dear Hiring Manager,

I would like to be considered for the Web Designer / Developer position that you have listed on your website.

I am an accomplished, creative web and graphic design professional with 25+ years experience developing optimized websites and graphic assets on a wide variety of platforms for long-term clientele.

I’m skilled in nearly every aspect of website design, development, production, and management. I utilize a variety of applications (Adobe CC), technologies (PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript, MySQL), and other software services (WordPress, Postmark, Mailchimp) to deliver highly-effective, customized website solutions that meet project goals and exceed expectations.

Problem solving, troubleshooting, and my eye for design are some of my best skills. I use them to face challenges to develop web solutions that increase business efficiency, streamline processes, and sometimes just make business tasks easier to accomplish–and they look good too.

Some of my notable accomplishments include a WooCommerce-based meal delivery service, an online proposal creation/management system, a WooCommerce / Learndash LMS, and an event booking and business management system for a non-profit organization (on whose Board I sit as technology chair).

I invite you to view my resume and visit my online portfolio at https://designerchad.info/com314 to browse through some of my work. I hope you will find that I am qualified for the Web Designer / Developer position and I would be excited for the opportunity to join your team.

Sincerely,
Chadwick Anderson
