What I Can Provide...

• New web site development:
  100% customized for your specific project or organization.
• Web site makeovers: working with existing outdated websites that need to be improved.
• Clean, attractive designs, appealing to the eye.
• Clear, user-friendly, intuitive websites that are easy to navigate.
• Personal attention: I consult with clients to talk through web site goals and clarify the process. Clients have direct contact with the web designer working on your site, either in person or by phone or email.
• The design can be done within the framework of a Content Management Systems (CSM) where basic elements of the site can be easily updated by non-web savvy folks, using any internet-connected computer (no software needed).
  
• If desired, I can maintain the website on an ongoing basis, keeping it fresh and serving as the central contact person for changes and updates.
• Set up of domain name purchase and site-hosting for client.
• Can provide skilled editing and updating of content so that it communicates successfully via the web.

What I try to avoid...

• Irritating web viewers with gyrating graphics, mandatory music, or blinking and scrolling text.
• Relying only on using cookie-cutter templates. All web templates need to be customized and need someone who has HTML and graphics skills.
• Nickel and diming people for every little thing, and limiting clients to one or two graphics per page or other restrictions common to some web design service providers.
• Charging you for my learning curve (if I have to learn something new for your site, I do it on my time, not yours)
• I won't leave you stranded. I'll stay with you after the site is designed and fix any mistakes (like links that don't work and pictures that don't show up on the screen).
• I'm not a large agency with hundreds of sites to manage. It's just me.
• If you have an immense site that requires flash technology, or a huge e-commerce site with a slew of complexly programmed databases, I may not your person. However, I can build a very functional and attractive site for the needs of most small non-profits, churches, progressive organizations or individuals who have content to share.
