About Per-Erik Skramstad

Early in my career I wrote two novels of the grotesque genre, Woman with Bananas and Projectile Vomiting in Infants. I am planning a new novel with Sicilian ingredients.

My professional goals are to provide high-quality content, search engine optimization and interrelationships between web sites and social media. My areas of expertise include developing and designing sites for small companies, quality assurance and analyzing sites to obtain higher  visibility in search engine results so as to increase web page traffic. My (professional) Homepage is Webkommunikasjon.no.

I am driven by passion. Sicily is one, the opera composer Richard Wagner another. I came to Sicily in the mid 80's, travelling by train (the heydays of "Inter-rail") and immediately fell in love with the landscape, the buildings and the interesting history. I have returned a couple of times, but only once with a camera. Now photography is becoming more and more important for me; my favourite non-Sicilian motives are golf players, birds, people, historical objects and insects.

My main private web projects besides Wonders of Sicily, is Wagneropera.net (about Richard Wagner and his music dramas) and Korrekturavdelingen.no (about spelling rules etc.). Cultural history is important to me, and my photos of churches, grave monument, crucifixes, old chess pieces etc. can be seen on Gravgaver.no.

I have managed about 100 web sites, 50 Facebook pages (for customers and privately), many YouTube accounts and several Instagram and Twitter accounts.

I develop and manage web sites on a contractual basis for larger and smaller companies, mostly Norwegian, and my clients include Gjenskinn, Teres Medical Group, Hurtigruten (world famous Norwegian cruise company), and Spitsbergen Travel (destination: Svalbard). I now work for a clinic called Cosmo Clinic and do pro bono work for non-profit and charitable organizations.
