The first thing you should be concerned about is how your site looks, because when a client sees it, that is how they’re going to see you. They’re not looking at a site. They’re looking at you.
Straighten yourself up for goodness sake.
At Reverend Danger, an intuitive, clean design is our first priority because that’s going to go the longest way toward making you look like the professional you want. It’s also the most valuable of our services because, to put it bluntly, it’s going to make you the most scrilla.
A good looking site that doesn’t function well is like a prom date with an I.Q. below 90. At first glance, you’re going to be real excited, and you’ll start planning all the amazing, fun, sexy, creative things you’re going to do. Then, she opens her mouth.
At Reverend Danger, our code is as the design, allowing clients to add or subtract functionality, and engage with users as much or as little as they want. With an eye toward functionality, another toward design, a third toward brand, a fourth toward user experience, and two more to watch the road, your web presence is sure to impress clients.
Nobody goes to your brick and mortar store unless you are actually selling brick and mortar. But why would you? What would people use that for since nobody goes to brick and mortar stores to begin with?
The point is, your brand needs to be more places than just on the street. It needs an online presence, but a mobile presence is becoming not just in-demand, but necessary. Think of it this way: if you hear about a new company selling door-to-door chimpanzee bands, you’re not going to wait until you get home to Google it. Now answer this: how are people finding your musical monkeys?
After redesigning his own graduation card to look identical to the one issued him save its reading “Christopher ‘Danger’ Driscoll,” he handed it to the Dean of Students and whispered, “It’s pronounced [deyn-jer].” Since, his nickname has stuck. And it’s appropriate. His exacting skill as a designer marries flawlessly with his his frenetic, expansive creativity and arresting sense of humor.
With a professional history across several medias, Chris recently refined and improved his skill set enormously in the highly-selective honors program at the Parsons School of Design. He is professionally equipped to design in any media that is culturally relevant to design in, and several that are not. He currently resides in NY, NY, and spends his free time swimming, brainstorming, and with his tightly-knit family.
First of all, he really is a reverend; he was ordained online in order to officiate a friend’s wedding. Outside of that, he graduated Pepperdine University where he completed the premedical course curriculum while majoring in communications. After not getting into medical school, he decided to actually use his degree. Currently, he is a writer living in Venice, CA in an unabashed bachelor pad. He owns swords(5) and a scooter, though he rarely uses them at the same time. He’s from Montana originally, and chose to come to Southern California when he saw the short walk to the beach and the girls making it in skirts.
He’s written full time for Ripe Digital Media, Spike Digital Media, and Break Media Network, but he’s freelanced for several companies with feminine, multiple-syllable names that are not adjacent to the word media. He is the current Editorial Director of Reverend Danger, and spends his free time running on the beach, sitting in the hot tub, or typing on his antique typewriter over-elaborate correspondences as if he lived in 1930.
Preston Pope is a man of many, many, many talents. He has no religious, genealogical, or otherwise authoritative relationship to the head of the Catholic Church, but his authority on things technical and musical withing Reverend Danger is as unquestionable as divine mandate.
With a near-lifelong background in information technology, he is the ideal (one might say iconic) man to act as Reverend Danger’s lead coder and CTO. Name a language, and he can code in it, but his most important virtue is speed and flexibility. He grew up in Chico, CA, currently lives in L.A., and spends his free time shredding guitar in his own band and doing freelance audio engineering for Def Leppard (seriously).
