Website Design

We build superior websites by combining talented graphic artists with top-notch web programmers. Our specialty is creating websites which incorporate easy-to-use, browser-updateable content. This means that the website's owner can update every aspect of the site's content by themselves without any need to come to the actual web designer. This provides two invaluable services: it dramatically improves the value of the website as a communication tool, and drastically reduces costs and update time.

How it works:

1. Choose an artist from our talented and diverse roster of designers, so you can achieve exactly the look you want.
2. Decide what kind of features you want on your website. We can easily build anything from online stores, to photo galleries, to simple paragraphs and pictures you can update yourself.
3. Sit back and relax while we put it all together for you. The artist concentrates on making a good-looking site, and our programmers take care of making it work well. We also handle domain names, web hosting, search engine submission and all other aspects of an online presence.

What makes us different:

• Efficiency. Our designers are all independent, self-employed individuals who are not on staff, but rather independent contractors who are called on as needed. We don't have to support a full time staff so we can offer websites as good as anyone out there, at a fraction of the price.
• Convenience. You control all your own content whenever and wherever you want without relying on a potentially unreliable webmaster. This saves time, money, and sanity, both yours and ours.
• Intelligent Design. All our websites are built on a shared, constantly-evolving code library that makes development fast and reliable. For example: we install a version of our mailinglist system on your website. Another client then asks us for a mailinglist with additional features. We build these features into our mailinglist system, and as a result, you get to enjoy them too.
