My goal is to assist others needing help getting an idea off the ground and onto the web. Whether it be for personal pleasure or business use, you will receive personalized attention to help you meet your needs. Do not be intimidated any more by fancy jargon. Let me help you to achieve your goals and the look that you want. I have setup basic web design packages to try and fulfill most needs without paying an arm and a leg for it. By clicking on the question mark "[?]" before the item, you can get a description of what this is used for. This can help you determine which package it best for you.

You will not see my name on your site anywhere. Many web develoeprs place a link on the site they created to "mark" it. I believe this is tacky. The only persons that will know I designed your site is you and whomever you should tell. I take pride in the sites that I create and I feel that if you pay for a product, you don't want someone else to infringe on your product or take more credit away from your product.

Below is a list of items that you can expect from me. Each item has a link for explanation. For details, click the [?].

BASICS
[TOP] Standard HTML Pages	Standard HTML pages are pages that have dynamic content. An example of a view guestbook page is an example of a dynamic html page because it the contents are presented "on the fly" No one hand coded each line that a person has entered into the guestbook. Content is not static, therefore making it non-standard.
[TOP] Custom CGI Programming	The client will receive custom cgi programming to meet his or her needs. Unlike prefab scripts that you cut and paste from one site to another, I create scripts from scratch, which will meet the client's more crucial needs and better service the client.
[TOP] Custom JavaScript	JavaScript is more easily stolen than any other type of script. Because of this, I rely on JavaScript for menu effects and form checking and leave the more complex coding to a more secure cgi script.
[TOP] Text Copy Of Web Site	U.S. Copyright law requires there to be a written statement, to transfer the copyright ownership from the author/creator to another. I will provide such a statement, upon completion of the project and when full payment of all fees are received. A copy of the site will be on disk an distributed to the Client upon the final payment.
[TOP] Unlimited Consultation Via Email	Communication is the most important aspect in a relationship. During the course of the design, development and implementation, the client is encouraged to respond with his or her questions and comments concerning progress, likes and dislikes and overall satisfaction of the project. Email is the best way to communicate your concerns and comments and I try to respond promptly.
SCRIPTS
[TOP] Guestbook	To get visitors to comment on your site, you need a guestbook. This is a good way to show them you care about what they have to say and others will be encouraged to leave comments as a result. I can customize the format and look of the guestbook to accommodate the clients needs.
[TOP] Email Form	Don't loose visitor's crucial comments by having windows popup when they click on an email link. Have them fill out a form and press a button instead of having to wait for Outlook or a similar email program to popup. This simple program is designed to take the place of the "mailto" link. Simply put, visitor's like it when they don't have to click through multiple windows to get an email address.
[TOP] Feedback Form	A guestbook is a good tool to get comments, but not direct feedback. A feedback form is vital to understanding what visitors want. It is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Visitors like simplicity and this is the way to go so you do not bog them down on their stay. The feedback will be stored in a data file and sent to the client via email. Client is allowed up to 10 fields.
[TOP] Message Board	This is a good tool for small to medium-sized businesses that have ongoing discussions or visitors looking for something in particular. This is also an optional tool. Clients that purchase the third package do not have to use this on their site. This program is more for an informational web site with specific topics.
IMAGES/GRAPHICS/ANIMATION
[TOP] Customized Graphics	To get a clean look for your web site, customized graphical layouts will be created to help blend the site in without it looking cluttered. Optimized graphics will help enhance the look of your site without sacrificing page loading speed.
[TOP] Images Per Page	Fast loading pages are essential to keeping visitors coming back. If they can get to a site, get want they want and get out, then you can keep them coming back. This is why there are a maximum number of images per page.
[TOP] Image Compression	Using standard image types such as "gif" or "jpg", images can have a reduced file size, in turn increasing page-loading time. More compression is used with an image compressor to receive even faster loading images without loosing significant quality.
[TOP] Buttons	The client can choose to have one of the following as a site map (page loading time in order from slowest to fastest): Custom buttons with a textured image background Plain buttons with a solid color background Plain text links
[TOP] Scanning Images	The client is allowed to send images to be scanned. The client can send images up to 8 1/2" by 11". There is a maximum of 25 pictures that can be scanned for free. After 25 items have been scanned, each item thereafter will cost fifty cents. The client will pay for the postage if he or she would like the pictures sent back to them.
[TOP] Swish Introduction	This is only offered on the third package right now because of complexity. The Swish program is similar to the Flash program without all the coding. A Swish introduction will deliver great effects and get the visitors attention.
[TOP] Banners	This is a good option for small to large businesses trying to get their name out on the internet. Client will pay for the advertisement fee.
[TOP] Logos	For medium to large-sized businesses, logos help "identify" them. This is offered only on the third package because of time consumption in the initial design. This is also an option.
PRICING
[TOP] Redesign	This is a good way to get a professional makeover without paying the price of plastic surgery. Get a new look and revive your site with new interactive features for you and your visitors. Work is done at an hourly-based price determined by the Developer.
[TOP] Create (From Scratch)	While a redesign is necessary in some cases, in others a brand new template is called for. Although more expensive, it is well worth the expense when you have your name out there and people can identify with your site. Get exact specifications and a new look that will bring you and your site on top. Work is done at an hourly-based price determined by the Developer.
