Web Designer, Content Manager, Visualizer, SEO, Content Management Systems

I am Hemal Shah, a Web Designer/Content Manager/Visualizer/Social Marketer from Mumbai. I play with designs and visualize page design and content in sync. I have good knowledge of SEO. Currently working with a leading Share market Investment company, I also do freelance, whenever time allows me to. You can see my portfolio at my partnership firm Dezign Art Interactive website or on my Work page. You can explore a few videos that I have taken, some images in my gallery, rare downloads that I offer, tips for website designing.

I have experience on various content management systems including Live link WCM, Song Bird, Team Site, Web Sphere, Open share, Sharepoint etc. Last year, I had successfully implemented an intranet based Social Network on Sharepoint 2007 (MOSS 2007) platform. The project went on to win the Bronze award (3rd standing in September 2010) from a total 360 applications received from all over the world at the Global Work Out Awards and Gold Ovation (June 2010) in India at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS Business Services India Pvt. Ltd.).

I have HTML & CSS experience of 8 years, and equal length of experience for web administration and content management. My first break in IT industry came from Y on Earth Interactive, where it helped me gain immense management and technical information. It also provided me with an opportunity very few people would get at the age of 17.

Working for big names like Air India, Shaw Wallace, HLL, ABN AMRO, Royal Bank of Scotland, etc. thought me the roots of Brand management and ideas. Working with senior and juniors alike gave me immense visualization skills and managing client accounts at times gave my communication skills a great boost.

After being a Y on Earthling for a year, I decided to move on and got an opportunity to work on site with ABN AMRO client side, while working with Landmark Solutions. My client base was a mix of domestic and international and this thought me how to deal with people from different demographics. Here, I got to learn more about XHTML and W3C Validation of HTML, XHTML and CSS. Importance of accessibility and accordance to various laws of different countries proved important. I had to work on two different environments, a static site and a site managed by LiveLink WCM. Got to learn new things and added more feathers in my so called CMS cap.
