Having a website increases your exposure exponentially over printed materials. With a website, people from all over the world can find you 24/7. Furthermore, there is no limit to how much information you can offer on a website.

Making a website is more than just opening up a website editing program and filling in a template. I have experience in marketing, graphic design and information architecture. I create websites that are easy to use, visually pleasing, quick-loading and viewable by everyone.

I run my own company and therefore able to reduce overhead while offering professional services at reasonable costs.

While a print brochure is an effective marketing tool, its reach is limited. A website can be viewed by an infinite number of people around the world at any time at marginal cost.

I work as quickly as the client can provide information. Overall, completing a site takes anywhere from two weeks to several months depending on the scope of work and the services required.

I believe that web development is a collaborative process. We will begin by meeting in person or by phone to determine your specific needs. I will then put together a concept for the site and offer suggestions for improvements. We with then discuss and make changes before the website is finalized. Only after your final approval will the website be posted on the Internet.

During our consultation, we'll talk about what you want to have on your site. I have many clients with varying degrees of web experience. Through discussion and collaboration we've always been successful in determining exactly what is needed for their individual site.

While Flash can add drama and impact to a site, it comes at a price. Not only does Flash cost more in development and maintenance costs, but it substantially hinders usability and Search Engine optimization. Additionally: you can’t bookmark a page within a Flash website, the "Back" button doesn’t work, link colors don't work, text resize option doesn’t work, viewers looking for a specific phrase or name won’t be able to use the standard “find on this page” feature. Finally, most Flash websites don’t meet accessibility standards.

Absolutely, Flash is a solid technology that can add considerable drama and impact to your site when used judiciously. (view a Flash gallery)

Absolutely, I'd love to discuss your needs with you. I'm confident that I'll be able to offer suggestions to make for a successful website for you.

The most important thing I will need is an idea of what you want your web site to be as well as any information, graphics, photographs and logos you want to include on your site.

Yes, I have extensive graphic design experience and would be happy to work with you on a logo that will effectively represent you.

Yes, but this would hardly be taking advantage of all the web has to offer. Unlike a brochure, a web site can offer a limitless amount of information and additional services to your customers. You might however consider having on your site a downloading version (in PDF form) of your brochure.

Yes, I design my sites to work with all web browsers and for people viewing at a wide range of resolutions. Furthermore, I optimize all images for the web to ensure they load quickly regardless of the viewer's connection speed.

Digital images are preferred to photograhs because they can be quickly emailed and deployed on a web site. For more information about the quality of images please visit the Photographs in Web Layouts page.

Yes, eventually, your site will be picked up by the major search engines. But if you are serious about being found on the web, you will have to put some effort into search engine optimization, or pay someone to do it for you.
