Raised outside of the city of St. Louis, encompassed by farmland, surrounded by Creation, James has a certain appreciation for design and code that can only be called divine inspiration. If you need a web developer that will get it done right and quickly, contact James Finley.
Self-taught in the art of web development & design, James learned how to find the answers to any question or problem, be it via Google, blogs, or books. He has been working with HTML since the early 2000's, started in CSS not long after, and has been working with Javascript just as long. Along with these three main, and very powerful web technologies, James also finds PHP/mySQL (especially, though not only, with Code Igniter) homey.
A Christian thinker and philosopher, James is always open for a good, long debate of thoughts and ponderings. Since 2007, James has been studying Creation science, exploring the Biblical account of the origin of the universe, the Earth, and everything on it. This gives James a great appreciation for life (animal and human, alike), but also for the design and the intelligence behind everything around us.
Inspiration can be in everything that you look at, but with an understanding that the design that we see around us in nature is not only not accidental, but very much purposefully created for us by the one who created us, that inspiration comes to life in new and fantastic ways! Sure, if accidental — mere happenstance — it all can be simply inspiration. But if created out of love, designed specifically for you and me out of such care and passion, so should we be encouraged to use such care and passion, such love, when we design. Putting our hearts into our designs only makes since, as we are created in God's image, and thus are loving, creative people!
Design is not accidental! Not ever! You cannot just boot up your computer and find a finished website ready to go. If we can look at nature and think for an second that it — which is obviously designed better than anything that you and I can design — is accidental, what kind of appreciation can we expect for our own work? Sure, we are not better designers that God, but would you like to think that you cannot ever get close to producing design on par with something merely accidental?
