Savant (suh · vahnt) :   n.   A person of learning, especially one with detailed knowledge in some specialized field.

Note: I've been fairly busy and am not generally seeking new clients, so unfortunately this site and the accompanying portfolio are 5+ years out of date. If you'd like to see some of my more recent work, feel free to email.

Net-Savant provides web design and software development services to a variety of individuals and organizations in Santa Cruz and beyond.

Its mission is to create easy-to-use, elegant web sites and web-based applications, founded on a clear understanding of client goals, delivered on time and on budget.

Net-Savant works with talented designers and developers in the San Francisco bay area, and was founded by Luke Rissacher, a web developer and IT manager of 10 years' experience.

ASP.NET and C# development

We specialize in developing web applications on the Microsoft ASP.NET / C# platform. This includes content management systems, online commerce sites, community collaboration tools, and other web-based software.

Based in Santa Cruz, California

Though we service clients across the US, part of Net-Savant's mission is to make strong connections in the local community, and so we most often work with clients in the greater Santa Cruz area. This includes Scotts Valley, Capitola, Soquel, Aptos, and Watsonville, as well as nearby Silicon Valley.

Supporting web standards — XHTML and CSS

All our latest sites use standards-compliant XHTML and CSS — these technologies help create sites that are easy to maintain, accessible to visitors with disabilities, understood by search engines, and that work on major browsers and mobile devices.

If you have an idea for how web technologies could help your organization and would like to brainstorm ideas, feel free to call or email.
