Professional Web Designer and Internet Portal Specialist Since 1999

A commitment to duality and low costs has helped me provide IT solutions, web design, integrated network development, and other Internet marketing services to a broad range of businesses, individuals, and organizations around the country. From successful retail merchant web stores to sites for nonprofit organizations and various artisans, I have a proven track record of providing exceptional IT solutions for businesses at a fraction of our competitors' prices.

But don't take my word for it, see my web and print portfolio.

Specializing in Customized, easy-to-use web Commerce Engines, and Content Management

Don't spend a fortune on a website, e-commerce portal, inventory system, office network, web store, online catalog, or Internet solution without making sure that you have control of its future.

Are you looking for a webmaster who won't keep charging you high rates for updates Many web designers and webmasters will lure you with low initial design rates, and then charge you an arm and a leg every time you need a simple update!

I will custom build your website from the ground up so that you can update easily your site from any Internet connection. No software or special computer knowledge is required -- if you can check your email, you can manage the content of your site, web store, bulletin board, or showcase, with the click of a mouse.

I understand the demands of flexibility and immediacy that come with running an online business website, and accommodate these by developing a web solution that allows you, not the web designer, to take control! Before you know it, you will be a webmaster with ease!

We keep our costs low so that we can pass the value on to you!

I don't pay a staff of pointy heads in an air-conditioned office; I do my web design out of my home in Murfreesboro TN, write my own original software, and take advantage of what is freely available in the open-source community. This way, we can significantly underprice the big dogs in the web design industry and get the same results.

I get so many horror stories from companys and small businesses who pay thousands for an inferior product!

Websites can be really complicated, and the art is to take something complicated and make it simple, intuitive, and pleasant to behold. Our design philosophy is usablity and elegance, but it has to answer to your taste and sensibility before we are done!...

Getting Started On Your New Website


Gather the Information

  The first step is to collect together all the information you have that can be used in your web site, identify any gaps and think about how to create any missing material.

If you decide to include pictures that you don't already have, you need to take some photographs using a digital camera or normal photographs ready for scanning.

 

Analysis

  When you have collected the information you need for your site, you need to think about the overall objectives, who you want to reach and the key messages you would like to communicate.

You should also consider your budget constraints so that the designer can take this into account.

Use our Request for Quotation form as a checklist for the information you have and your preferences. You can send us the form on line or by post and as soon as we receive it we will start work.

After we review your information, we discuss your ideas with you as the first step in our process and we can advise about how to estimate the cost.

We will then create an outline design and a quotation and discuss it with you.

 

 

Create the Site

  As soon as you approve our design and accept our quotation, we will complete the design of the site and create all the pages.

If we have any queries while the site is being created we will talk to you.

 

 

Arrange Hosting

  If you already have an Internet Service Provider, you may want to use it to host your site. If not we will recommend a hosting service and arrange it for you.

It is possible that your Internet Access Provider allows you some free Web Space. We will advise whether to use this to start with depending on the volumes you expect.

In general free Web Hosting does not provide the same guaranteed performance levels as a paid for service.

We will discuss this with you when we talk about your budget and the cost of maintaining the web site.

 

 
   

Register your Domain

  If you don't already have a domain name, we will check availability and register one for you.

You may be able to use it for your e-mail addresses as well as your web site.

 

 
   

Register with Search Engines

  We will register your URL with multiple search engines.

We will also include keywords in your pages to make sure that you have the better chance of appearing near the top of search lists.

 

 
   

Publicize the Site

  As soon as your web site is published, we recommend that you include the URL in as many forms of publicity as you can.

You might consider your Yellow Pages or Thompson Direct entries as well as your letters, business cards and advertising.

 

 

Track Activity

  Server statistics should be available for your web site that show the number of visitors and the pages they requested as well as other activity related items like the profile of visitors by the date and time, week and month.

If you service provider offers these, we will show you how to obtain a weekly report of your web site activity.
