Developer, entrepreneur, musician, foosball pro, and beer lover in ChicagoHowdy howdy, thanks for visiting! My name is Karl Steltenpohl and I am a Php & MySQL Developer and Web Consultant living and working in Chicago, Illinois. I help my clients define their online objectives, and then accomplish them quickly and under budget.
Currently I'm working at Music Dealers. Additionally I have an impressive and experienced background developing and deploying robust websites and online applications.
I've also bootstrapped my own start-up company, Karl Steltenpohl Development LLC, KSD for short, into a busy website development company.

Proper prior planning prevents poor performance. Its that simple. During development planning correctly can also have a large impact on the overall duration and costs, so it is important to be thorough during the planning phase of a project.
For projects with tight budgets and limited schedules, I am a big proponent of ThemeForest.net for affordable website designs and layouts. In other cases when a custom design and layout is required, I utilize talented and trusted designers Kosal Vann and/or Scott Oloier.
I develop database architecture in MYSQL and SQL Server. Your new website and/or application will be developed quicker, perform better, and remain hardened against data-loss, hackers, and other external threats when following a blueprint for success.
I write code using the latest and best practices in PHP(4+) and HTML(5)/CSS(3) markup standards. All code is written and tested to work properly, and display correctly in major web browsers and o/s as well as maximize the SEO potential of pages in search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
Post launch, I am not going anywhere. I am available daily to complete requests for new functionality, revisions, questions, etc. An ongoing online marketing campaign and strategy is also key to continual growth on the internet. I manage all to do with the server/hosting and back-ups as well.
Inquires and requests are very welcome.
