I like to think that I design sites that are clear, easily navigated, economically maintained, and effective. The point of a website should be to get your point across to your customers and prospects. I have no interest in design awards, I am critically interested in clients that are motivated to continue to pay for my time. Speaking of time, that's what I sell - the following sites were built strictly on an hourly rate, and since I am still maintaining all these sites that rate must be a good value!
Original Sites
The following sites are completely original works, although in most cases they start from trade dress already in use by the clients.
- Benzaia Photography - Portrait and wedding photography for the Birmingham Alabama area
- Big Sky Dyes - The custom dyed fabrics and quilts of Cynthia St. Charles
- Chocolates by George! - The incredible chocolates of George Brunjes, go drool over them.
