The absence of design is a hazardous kind of design. Not to design is to suffer the costly consequences of design by default.

The F.A.Q.
Do you do any support for Internet Explorer 6?
When IE6 first came on the scene in in early 2001, websites were built with tables and I could bring toe-nail clippers on an airplane. Web Standards was still just a dream to many designers and Microsoft controlled much of the market share (close to 95%). Fortunately, that was almost ten years ago... and surprisingly the internet has changed. Sadly, IE6 delivers such a poor view of the internet that some foreign dictators have been known to offer prison time to anyone caught surfing with it. The latest statistics have shown that IE6 is loosely connected to permanent brain damage, global warming and the recent economic hardship that much of the global economy is experiencing. That's why every one should upgrade to FF or IE7.
So in short. No I don't. Sorry.
What does "SEO" mean?
"SEO" is an acronym for the term "Search Engine Optimization." In short, it is a process that can be used to improve the volume and quality of traffic that naturally comes to a specific website from a search engine (like google). This practice is primarily achieved through making the content and the code used to build your website as relevant and accurate as possible so that when the search engines (aka robots or spiders) come and look at your site you will become the most relevant (the highest ranked) site listed for a specific topic. It is practice that I always use when I build a websites and can be achieved only through clean code, strong content and clean urls.
How Much Does A Website Cost?
Sometimes I think it is best to answer a question with another question (and a lot of cliches): How much do a pair of pants cost? As it is of pants, so it is of websites in that not all websites are equal. You can buy a website template now a days for less than $50 very easily if you know where to look. You can also find a chop shop web design company that will treat you like a number and have a site built for less than $300. But, the old adage says it best, you get what you pay for.
No two projects are ever the exact same. What may have worked for one client does not always translate to another. Which is why I choose to not give a flat rate when it comes to building websites. If you are serious about getting a website built then please just get in touch and I will get a custom quote worked up! If you want to know more read then this article... it has the most accurate, realistic and industry-standard prices.
