SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

About Me

Hi! I'm KC!

Hello! My name is Kiu Chi Chan - I prefer to be called by my initials, KC, and I'm a digital media designer located in Brossard (South Shore of Montreal). I graduated from Champlain College in Graphic Design and I'm currently studying at Université de Montréal.

Over the years, I've had experiences working with CMS such as Joomla, e-commerce shopping carts such as osCommerce and Magento. My area of expertise resides at front-end coding in clean XHTML and CSS, but I also program in Javascript/jQuery, AJAX, and PHP combined with MySQL databases.

I'm sometimes perceived as being the all-in-one guy when it comes to multimedia and information technologies. The truth is, there's no way on Earth (or on any other planets) I could possibly know everything related to this field. BUT, I do believe that I'm a quick learner. I also have amazingly resourceful peers if things ever get out-of-hand. With that said, a project is never too large nor too small for me. Simply contact me and it'll be a pleasure for me to help you out.

On my spare time, I like to read web magazines on the various areas related to my field to know the latest web technologies and geek stuff.
