I have had 30 years of graphic design experience, including having
my own studio in Kalamazoo, Michigan for ten years. I began working
with computers in 1980. This combination of experiences was a natural
fit with the internet. In 1995 I tried to start a web site design service. I was too early. Folks didn't understand the internet, or what it would become. Now, of course, everyone has a 14 year old cousin, or sibling who
can create a web site. And, also, there are any number of commercial
software products that take you through the process. But, this is not
enough to make a truly serviceable web site if your business needs to
inform your customers, needs to make them interested in what you are
offering, and needs to communicate with them in such a way that they
will get in touch with you. Types of Businesses That Can BenefitIf your business is a service business or if the products you sell
cannot be sold without discussion with your customers, then you will
benefit from at least talking to me about how you would like to see
your business represented on the web. My prices are extremely reasonable as I am especially interested
in working with musicians, artists, antique dealers, and the like.
Other businesses which could benefit would be any type of
construction business, repair business, or tutoring service. Further,
I design sites to be easily maintained by you. If you are interested
in this, I will train you to take care of them. This alleviates the
prospect of site-maintenance fees. It also enables you to make
frequent changes, thus keeping your site current. |
