SMICK.NET | Website of Mike Smick Graphics and Web Developer

I make websites, graphic design campaigns. I make teams better by being a part of them. I write, develop and I like helping people boost their expectations. And love my town.

Technical Writing

The world needs more inspiration, better stories and clearer communication. That's my job because I made it my job. As a client you'll get clear instructions and a better understanding of the service and product you are paying for. You'll be as self-sufficient as you want to be.

Family

My wife is from Japan. Our son is fantastic. I wish I could share more here, but I promise there are some photos of him around the site somewhere.

Learning and Training

I wrote a book in 2005 on the Adobe Graphics Suite (CS2) which has helped thousands of new creatives and students learn the Adobe Creative Suite. I haven't written a technical book since then. Why? Because a short while after my book was published, YouTube and other video sites were born. There's still a great deal of usefulness in print books, but I prefer writing for the web and making video walk-throughs which are supplemented by good writing.

OpenGround Labs

OpenGround is my work in progress. It's my container for my method to making great things for my clients. Discover. Traverse. Create. Did I mention I'm in St. Louis, Missouri?

Give me a shout let's see what we can do for each other.
