ABOUT ME

WSfaceI’m a visual designer and avid photographer. Graphic and print design, web design, front end web development, photography and now video and motion graphics. I’ve been working and learning as I go for over 20 years, embracing new technologies such as responsive web sites as the opportunities present themselves.

I’m currently freelancing remotely as I travel full time in my RV. However, no matter where I may be physically I am always connected to the internet. My current and future work demands it and luckily we live in an age that makes this not only possible but quite easy. I am always looking for new clients, projects and challenges. Feel free to drop me a note if you feel I can offer something to your team.

WHAT DO I DO

Photography

An avid photographer since my school days I became much more focused and dedicated to expanding my knowledge over the past 12 years. I have a love for stories told by the derelict and abandoned but also those told within the human form and face. Fine Art work as well as lifestyle, portraits and other fun projects.

Graphic Design

I’ve truly almost done it all. From print ready graphic design to web design and development. Everything from logo design and branding, brochures, tickets, posters, magazine covers, CD, DVD and software covers, point of sale placards, bus bench ads, transit and bus ads, billboards both digital and paper, business cards, signage, t-shirts, and more. 

Web Design/Dev

I’ve built a lot of websites in my time. I have the skill set and resourcefulness to get almost any project through from concept to completion. That said, I prefer the more creative aspects of graphic design and photography over code.

Drummer

For a very long time my main focus was drumming. I played in many bands from cover bands to indie recording bands to major label recording bands. It became a hard decision to set aside that pursuit to focus on my very close second love, photography.


Testimonials

“I contracted Wayne Stadler in November of 2003 to construct and design a website for my company. After looking at dozens of designers, I choose Wayne because the quality of his past work and the affordable price clearly distinguished him from his peers. Since contracting him, I have been ecstatic with his performance, his professionalism, and his creativity. The site that he created is perfect for our needs. What impressed me most about Wayne was the speed and attention that he gave the site, he returned emails promptly and answered any concerns that I had efficiently and effectively.

I recommend him without reservation.”

Sincerely,

“This is now the second time we have used Wayne, the first time was in 2002 we contacted Wayne looking for a web site design that really captured the band’s attitude and philosophy (with no ideas of our own) Wayne ran with it and exceeded our expectation’s.

Now in late 2005 with new members new songs and a new look we went back to Wayne for a complete redesign of the site along with CD cover and liner graphics, merch designs and Myspace site all to match, once again Wayne delivered it on time and at a very competitive price. I highly recommend Wayne to anyone that is looking for a clean and user-friendly web site.”

“This letter is my personal recommendation for Wayne Stadler. I worked with this very capable man for several years at Ahern Rentals in Las Vegas. I found him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. Despite his regular telecommuting from Vancouver, Wayne always acted as part of the team when he was away or at our Las Vegas office.

Besides being a joy to work with, Wayne is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and can change those ideas with lightning speed to suit the current situation. He has successfully developed several web sites for Ahern Rentals that have resulted in increased web traffic and are still in use today, years later.

Though he was an asset to our training department, Wayne was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company; designing graphics, forms, and assisting in production shoots. In addition to designing effective websites for all 12 branches of Ahern Rentals, Wayne heavily participated in meetings, inspiring and motivating other employees to try for greatness.

I highly recommend Wayne for any employment. He is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.

Sincerely,

I hired Wayne to create my travel blog and business cards. I consistently receive compliments on both. He has a keen ability to design logos, select fonts and personalise the format, hence making Nancy Under the Stars more ‘me’.

He is very good about making suggestions and critiquing. Wayne has always been quick to respond to my questions and makes changes in a timely fashion.

“When I first approached Wayne about building a personal website to promote myself as a freelance drummer , I had no real idea at all how I wanted it to look . I gave Wayne the raw materials and other than telling him that I wanted one of his excellent flash intros , I gave no other indication about interface or overall look. What I ended up with was an incredible website that far exceeded what I envisioned. I was amazed with the attention that he gave to small detail and design etiquette. The fact that he is also a musician, artist and photographer as well as web designer gives him a huge leading edge in the creativity department.

Wayne takes care with his craftsmanship and his clients needs. The manner in which he conducts his business is nothing less than professional. I got exceptional work done in a short time frame for a very competitive price. I was fortunate to have chosen Wayne. I highly recommend Wayne Stadler.”

“I was introduced to Wayne Stadler through an advertisement in Business In Vancouver.
After doing my due diligence, I called the number listed and had a conversation with Wayne, explaining what my expectations were for my website. Although I liked the sample sites that Wayne had on his website for preview, I felt that what I was looking for was drastically different than what I saw there. Wayne assured me that he had the knowledge and the resources to build my design to whatever specifications I required and offered to do three mock ups so we could get a feel for what my expectations were.

Wayne delivered a web site that I am proud to send my existing and prospective clients to for information on my company and the products and services that we offer. Check it out at and see for yourself what we put together without so much as meeting in person. Everything you see on this site was put together through e-mails and telephone conversations.
Dealing with Wayne on this project was a pleasure. Whenever I requested changes to the design, whether adding new content, modifying or deleting content or designing an online quotation form, it was handled in a professional and expeditious manner.
I am confident that no matter what your message or vision for your website may be, Wayne can design it for you and deliver it to you at a very cost effective price.
I am so happy with Wayne’s design on my site that I decided to have him host my site on his server. Do your due diligence and give Wayne Stadler a try. You’ll be glad you did. ”
