Have you considered putting up a web site to promote your business or organization, but wonder if --

You can afford it?
It's too much trouble?
You need the technical skills?

Do you already have a web site,
but wonder --

If if people can find your site?
If people can find what they are looking for once they are at your site?

Many of the sites I've done have been for individuals, businesses and organizations that had an existing site. They felt their web sites just didn't "measure up".

When the web was new, a site that looked "home made" was acceptable. Those days are gone. Web visitors often judge a business or organization by the image its web site presents.

"The [new] website, even in its unfinished state, is much better than what I already have. In fact, I'm a bit embarrassed about how outdated the old one looks now that I've seen what you have done."

I can review your site and quickly tell you if there are any improvements that can be made.

Graphics

I can incorporate your logo or other graphics you provide into your web design, create new graphics if needed, or work with a professional graphic artist to create the look you want. Your online presence should tie in to your other forms of marketing by using similar graphic elements.

PDF

I can put existing PDFs (like brochures, forms, etc.) on your site for download, and convert your Word and other documents to PDF so you can control how they look when web visitors view and print them.

Accessible Code, Usability

In addition to looking attractive, all the sites I've designed since 2006 are accessible by the visually impaired. I also know how to organize content and navigation on your site to help visitors find what they want fast. A site that looks good but is hard to use is not a well-designed site!

Online Payments

I can set up your site so that visitors can make online payments to you using either PayPal or a payment gateway of your choice. I'll walk you through the steps necessary to open your PayPal account if you don't have one.

Optional Features

I can set up a photo gallery, photo "slider", blog, or add audio clips or a video to your site. If you have documents or forms that visitors may want to print, I can convert your documents to PDF format and post them on your web site, or set up a script to gather information via an online form.
