Mike Vollmer Design


This is a blog for all my otherwise-homeless thoughts and creations, generally related to programming and design. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or comments.



About me

Who am I?

My name is Mike Vollmer. I'm a web developer and a student, and I am currently studying computer science at California State University in Sacramento.

My experience

I do web design and web development, primarily. This includes designing graphics, writing (X)HTML and CSS for a website layout, and coding in Javascript, Flex/Actionscript 3, PHP, Java, Ruby, or Python. I'm familiar with cutting-edge client- and server-side web frameworks, like Ruby on Rails, Django, and JQuery, and I'm also accustomed to working with web software like Apache and source control software like Subversion.

What do I do?

I can work with your company to develop a web presence from scratch, or I can work from whatever you have already. Not everyone knows exactly what they want when they're starting their first website, and I can help you outline what it is you want to accomplish with your web presence and how best to realize your goals.


Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer.
Art is everything else we do.
