Welcome!

Based in Bellingham, Washington, Drabek Web Solutions is owned and operated by Robbie Drabek. Robbie has a certificate in Web Design and Development from Western Washington University and many years of experience in the information technology field.

Web sites range in complexity from basic "brochure" sites to more complex sites, with blogging and e-commerce functionality. Other features, such as email forms to collect customer information, photo galleries, or password protection, are also available. Please check out some of my portfolio sites for examples.

Would you like to have a web site that you can update on your own? WordPress may be the solution for you. You may have heard of WordPress as a blogging tool, but it has also become popular as a Content Management System. Alternatively, if you'd rather let someone else do the updates, I can help you with that too!

Featured Sites

The Bellingham Review

This site gets a new look each year to match the paper edition. Because it was built on Dreamweaver template, and separates out the css styling from the html presentation, the new look can be achieved with a minimum of fuss.

Jane Cather, artist

This site was built on a Dreamweaver template, which makes it easy to change out pages and tweak the design. It contains unique displays of artwork, such as the “women of the village” gallery and “meditations” pages. It has an email form for email list signup and a link to Jane’s WordPress blog, hosted on WordPress.com. PayPal has been implemented for processing orders.

Ridgestar Aussies

This site is a rewrite of an older site. While the original site was fully functional, it was high maintenance. The outward appearance is almost identical, but the code is now based on a single template, styling has been separated out from the content, and it is compliant with current industry standards (W3C). An enhanced slide show was also implemented.
