we have a simple business philosophy: build quality and individuality and they will come.
maybe that's a cliche, but we believe that every business is as unique as the owners themselves and their web sites should be a reflection of that. we are here to walk you through each step of the web design and implementation process.

already have a web site.? is it gathering dust bunnies faster than that dark place under your bed? is it in need of minor changes? need to add new content so it appears fresh and lived-in?

call us. we provide maintenance at reasonable rates, no matter how big or small your needs. we can help you decide what needs to be changed and how to change it.

we also provide ongoing maintenance for each of our design clients so you don't have to worry about the next phase of your site - or any future changes. we will work with you to develop a timeline if a full-scale site is beyond your budget.

we don't know every aspect of your business and we don't expect that you know every aspect of ours. for those of you who want to learn more, we provide our clients with several free, informational handouts (fun spare time reading!) that cover the following topics:

• web site goals
• domain name selection & registration
• what to look for in a web host
• how to define your target audience
• how to design the structure tree of your site
• goodies & effects: what works and what's too much

you can request any of these documents by filling out the "request information" form on the request page. they are provided in adobe acrobat reader (pdf) format.

we provide training in groups of one to three persons in the following genres:

• web page maintenance (html & wysiwyg software)
• graphic & photo editing
• word processing & spreadsheets
• email and web browsing

we can provide referrals to a variety of free software resources for many of these areas. however, it must be said that there is rarely a free lunch these days. for that reason, we use and recommend the following specific software:

• macromedia dreamweaver (web page creation)
• adobe photoshop (graphics/photograph manipulation)
• macromedia fireworks (graphics)
• swish (flash)
• filemaker pro (databases)
• adobe acrobat

our training is user-specific and paced for individual needs. we provide documentation for all lessons and offer ongoing free support via email.
