Anyone can, or has a friend who can, put together their own website, dot-com their business name, and get it online - so why pay a professional to do it?

A web site is an advertising investment - meant to bring a return in a cost-effective manner. It should not be, nor be thought of as, a COST. There is a lot more to a web site than what you see on screen. Even free isn't cheap if you don't get results!

The three keywords for a business are: Location, Location, Location. The same is true of a web site - where the location is the URL. I advise my clients on effective URLs and even their e-mail addresses. Site quality is important - but being found is more important! "Invisible" elements of a page have an effect on having it found - as does the content and layout of the visible portion. And, web surfers are an impatient bunch. A site needs to be optimized to load quickly while presenting comprehensive information.

My services include: digital photography, gif and Flash animations, XML, HTML, ASP, CSS, online shopping carts, and a broad knowledge of web sites and PROMOTION.

• Create - design and build web sites
  ~~ if you know exactly what you want, I can do it; if not, I can do the complete site from scratch; in either case, I always advise of the pros and cons of the various options connected with different phases of your site ~~
• Administer web sites
  ~~ whether I "do" the web site or not... I also administer some web sites that I did not design ~~
• Host web sites
  ~~ I provide the hosting and administration for the sites I create ~~
• Set up your domain name(s) or assist with the move of an existing domain name
  ~~ no charge for this service when I am providing administration of your site and/or hosting it ~~
• Promote your site and get it listed with all major search engines
  ~~NOTE: How you will place in the listings when a search is made can not be guaranteed by anyone!!~
