Welcome to my Website :)
My name is Duds Daquilanea and I am offering my services as a part-time freelance web and graphics designer. www.dudsonline.com is a small home-based business that started with the purchase of a second hand computer. The purchase itself was, I believe, divine intervention. It involved a prayer that was answered by a call 5 seconds later.
This site is my online portfolio of photos, websites and graphics I've created. As a graphic artist, I specialize on all kinds of desktop publishing, digital art and logos, print and website design, photo editing and retouching.
I basically learned everything through self-study. I do not have a diploma but I do hope my work will speak for itself. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to examine my online portfolio.
I work freelance; which doesn’t mean that I work for free. I work for a FEE. It’s just that I work for me.

Iloilo and the Graphics Business
Iloilo is located in the heart of Visayas, right in the middle of the Philippines. It is a growing market for Information Technology. Iloilo City is said to be the Next Big Thing. More and more people are finding the need for graphic artists and web designers locally. Graphic and web development companies are popping everywhere making use of fresh graduates who have little experience and great ambition. Although Ilonggos would tend to opt for the lesser price, they are also generally frugally smart and want what is best with the money they have to part with. My small company can cater to this growing IT need and will work well with the Ilonggo disposition.

Why hire me?
Personally, I like to work on websites and graphics that challenge me and make me want wake up early to do more. So I customize my work, design original templates and work on existing photographs that the client provides. Sometimes, I take my own photos if clients don't have them.
Fulfillment to me is the main target and the happier my client is, the more I feel I have done my job. What I want for ads and websites is to slow people down so they would stop to see what your website and photos have to offer. I pride myself in partnering functionality with aesthetics. I want everything to have a reason. To me, a single photograph is enough to make a statement if you know where and how to place it. I also deal with clients personally and with great attention. I like to play with ideas but I can also work within a budget. So hire me and see what I can do with what you have.
