| What my Websites offer: |
| ----- |
| • Ease of use |
| I've taken a long look at many band/artist/company websites, and one thing that keeps me coming back is a site with a lot of pertinent info that's easy to get to! I make navigation, compliance with web standards, and minimizing loading time the top priorities in site development. |
| ----- |
| • Custom Design |
| I love working with images, graphics, and trying new things with them every day. If you reside in the Portland Chicago Cleveland area, we can to meet up, go over any drawings or graphics/logos you already have, and brainstorm new ideas as well. If you're not in town, well we've both clearly got computers and so sharing ideas will be pretty easy to do. |

| • Affordability |
| I charge a very reasonable amount, which is based on the level of original artwork/design I will need to create, and whether there are any additional interactive elements like message boards or stores. So your cost basically depends on if you have your own visual elements or want me to come up with something, and what sorts of add-ons you require. Contact me and we can talk about what you're looking for in your website, and discuss payment options. I'm a musician, so bartering is always a possibility - specifically, I can always use help with photography, recording, video production, marketing, and booking gigs. |

| • 100% Support |
| Not only will I build the site for you, but I'll host it on my server while I'm working on it. Then we can either transfer it to your server, or continue to host it through my company when its finished. I can offer much better hosting rates than a typical 1-to-1 ISP account because of my web designer affiliation with Hostica. After the site is created and implemented, we can set up a schedule for maintenance and updates, or I can set you up with a control panel to do routine updates yourself. Finally, if your company would like to maximize it's visibility on the web, we can set up some great traffic boosting tools like Google Adwords/Adsense and search engine optimizers. One last important note - regardless of who designs the visual elements and makes the updates, you will be responsible for writing the copy. I did pretty well in English (aced the Writing SAT II and AP Exams!) but I can't exactly write your band bio or company description for you... |
