An introduction to Clay McIlrath Welcome to my blog / portfolio site and thanks for stopping in. I’ve set up on this corner of the web, because I really believe that it’s important for people to share knowledge, skills, and creativity freely. I personally enjoy the process of learning, exploring, and doing all things creative and cutting edge as well as sharing those experiences with others. I have a passion for meeting new trends and developing highly functional yet uniquely creative, websites and applications. I am a managing partner of two companies that build businesses both online and off. My businesses use the talents of many different individuals creating a unique and powerful force when put together on a project. However, my individual strengths are in corporate identity, graphic design, front-end web development, and CMS integration with Content Management Systems such as Modx, Magento, Wordpress, and others.
