We are equipped to provide websites to our clients with a wide variety of features. We invite you to peruse our site and learn more about the services and advice we offer.

Being a firm believer in fair prices for services rendered, we refuse to take advantage of people's fears of the unknown. Designing good, effective web sites takes little more than a good eye for design and a willingness for good old fashioned hard work. We are here for those of you who share this work ethic. Prices begin at $495 for a basic website and on-going maintenance is available for those who prefer to spend time in the studio instead of fussing with computers.

Websites: What we do can for you

We are proficient in all aspects of the HTML language and design sites that are equally accessibly by all browsers and screen sizes and optimized for high search engine ranking. Our custom graphics are created in a Windows environment, but when uploaded to our websites, are accessibly by both Mac and PC alike. Being an artist ourselves, we also take care to properly optimize your images for your website, and visibly watermark them. While there is no fullproof method to prevent image theft these days, despite what you may have heard, we do realize the advantage that watermarking carries in promoting our names to those who admire our work. We prefer to use the internet for our benefit rather than hide from it.

We can take your existing business plan, or work with you in creating one, and translate it to an effective web presence for your business. From writing and creating web content, graphic design work, layout and planning, to final product on the web. We help walk you through the entire process, as you learn what you need to know to successfully run your online business.

We have a good knowledge of these elements of design, and can work them into your complete package:

• We take care to optimize and protect your images online
• SEO optimization for your particular style of art/business
• All aspects of good clean HTML, php, mySQL, javascript
• Full custom graphics
• Interactivity including Feedback forms, order forms, messageboards, etc.

We take bookings by deposit and our schedule is always filling up fast. Be sure to check out our rates and get your website booked now!
