About | Bluecoast-Studio

Filip daSilva Bluecoast-Studio is managed by Filip daSilva, a freelance, Virginia based, designer and website developer, who aims to provide, functional and individually designed websites that adhere to the W3C standards.

Bluecoast-Studio is my playground and creative outlet web space, a place to work where I don't have to worry about politics. In short my online refuge from the daily life of corporate design standards, proposals and presentations. After hours, I get a kick out of playing with my son "Tanner" and my two dogs "Toby" and "Smokie" and actually design sites that make a difference.

Who am I?

I am a father, husband, developer, designer, entrepreneur, basically an all-around-do-it-yourself type guy. Although I went to school, I am, like most web develepers, self-taught. Seeing the sheer volume of teaching material concerning web, I realized that there is nowhere NEAR enough time in one degree system, let alone a semester, to learn everything about this constantly changing, complex subject. I found early on that it would be up to me to push ahead and learn as much as I could. I continue to open and walk through as many doors as I can find to in order to facilitate the best way to present a subject or product using this vast and far-reaching media tool: the web.
