WEB SITE DESIGN & HOSTING
 
My Web design approach is based on simplicity. I believe that pages should be artistically designed, but simple in format for easy user understanding, and with a navigation approach that is consistent throughout the site. I avoid the complex multi-column pages you see so often on commercial sites; they are slow to load and difficult to navigate. The sample sites listed below show you what some of my sites look like.
 
I also believe in working closely with my customers during the site planning and design period. During design, I will provide a prototype of the site that you can view privately online to see the pages as they are completed. You can comment or suggest changes at any time, and I will work with you to resolve your concerns long before the whole site is finished.
 
The simplicity approach does not preclude having many features, such as:
