About me

Rob Maguire

I’m a web producer, consultant, and photographer living in Montreal, Quebec. I work with non-profits, community groups and arts organizations to create web strategies that help them achieve their goals.

I’m currently the editor of the political art blog Art Threat, a web consultant at the National Film Board of Canada, and am finishing an MA in International Development.

What I can do for you

Blogging Basics: Blogging can be an easy and effective tool to get your message across and engage your audience in conversation. I’ll help you set up a blog (if you don’t already have one) and get your organization on the right track. We’ll cover blogging best practices, how to develop and keep an engaged audience, and what common mistakes to avoid. And I can watch your posts over time and offer feedback on how to improve.

Social Media Marketing: You might know about Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube but do you know how to use these services effectively to get your message heard? I’ll help you develop and implement a strategy for your organization that is based in meaningful online interaction, not traditional one-way marketing.

Usability: Is your website easy to navigate? Can visitors find what they are looking for? Does the layout of your site frustrate your users? I can help you identify problem areas and find ways to improve the usability of your website.

Other: I’m also keen to help debug websites, design web banners, and help you write better web copy. And yes, I still do occasional work as a photographer [portfolio] and graphic designer [portfolio].
