Web Design since 1995

Web sites start at $440 for a basic 5-page HTML site with a simple logo.
Maintenance and programming, databases, and Photoshop layouts are $44 per hour.
   The Internet (the Web) is like the modern version of the "Yellow Pages". Customers look on the web to see if you're "real" and find out more about you. The web lets you make a much larger presence than the Yellow pages but the idea is the same. A web site tells them about you and your business and how to contact you.

   I design and maintain web sites for musicians and small businesses. I can create an original custom design for you. Check out the samples to the left and the orignal designs below. I have a number of clients that just needed maintenance and updates for their existing sites. I have updated, converted and maintained sites that were originally done in Dreamweaver, Adobe Go Live, Microsoft Publisher and Front Page, and Apple's iWeb. I'm constantly learning new ways and methods. These are the technologies I use: HTML, CSS, XHTML, DHTML, Javascript, VBscript, AJAX, Linux, Apache, IIS, ASP, PHP, MySQL, SEO, sitemaps, hand coding.

   Below are links to the sites that I have designed and maintain along with other information about the technologies and software that I use. In addition to 'regular' pages, you can have Contact Forms and Maps (with anti-spam coding), Event Calendars including a Myspace Calendar clone, several kinds of Photo Galleries, Photo Slideshow, MP3 music (I can edit music files to make clips), Databases, and Blog Software. I also create sitemaps and upload them to Google so people can find your pages.
