I know you're wondering, "What sets you apart from other designers?  Why should I hire you?"  What sets me apart is that I'm good, fast, versatile, and affordable.  Most designers can offer two or maybe three of these at most.  You want to be assured that you are happy with your project, and you will be.  Most importantly, you want design that works.

"But your design looks really expensive," you say.  Well, you're not wrong.  It does look expensive.  But that doesn't mean it's not affordable.  In fact, you can't afford not to have great design.  Would you expect a tailor to wear a cheap-looking suit?  Does your shoe salesman wear sneakers?   Does your hairdresser have a bad haircut?  

Wait.  That last one is a bad example.  But my point is, the way you look has a huge impact on how you are perceived.  And how you are perceived by your customers will make the difference in closing a sale.

See, that's what I do: design that makes you look important, trustworthy, impressive, and above all tells your story.  But what does good, fast, versatile, and affordable really mean?

I'm glad you asked.

Good

There are a lot of cheap-looking websites out there.  That's what happens when you shop at cheap-looking web designer stores.  You can get a design off the rack for peanuts, and for many businesses a template site is exactly what they need.  

But you are looking for more: you want a high-quality site that not only looks good on the outside but under the hood as well.  You want compelling design that motivates customers that is also a compelling experience.  Your design has to not only show clients exactly who you are, but tell them your story.  You need design that is utterly unique to your marketing message, that will give your marketing message the impact it deserves.

You will love the design.  I know this because my design process incorporates you into it.  The design process does not stop until you are happy with it.  

Fast

I'm often asked what my hourly rate is.  I often demur, because comparing the hourly rate of designers doesn't take into account how fast they are.  When I bid on a project my bids are the same as other designers with slightly cheaper hourly rates, but cheaper hourly rates almost always mean lesser design and bad code.  A cheaper hourly rate also doesn't reflect professionalism, candor and creativity.  I also offer plenty of advice along the way.

When in doubt, compare bids.  You will be pleasantly surprised with how affordable great design can be.

Versatile

I'm the guy that gets called when websites from other designers don't work and need fixing.  I'm the guy that gets called when other designers need pixel-perfect cross-browser CSS and search engine optimization.  I'm the guy that gets called when after hundreds of unexpected change orders and far beyond schedule, the project still doesn't work and you need a new designer.  If it's online, I've done it.  But it's not just code: I'm primarily a designer, and knowing how the code works means that I can come up with spectacular designs that offer great cross-browser compatibility.  There's no reason your website has to look like a WordPress template.

Many of my clients are suffering from Post-Traumatic Web Designer Syndrome after getting a low bid from another designer and being handed a website that barely works and looks terrible.  So why call the other designer if you're just going to end up with me anyway?  Save yourself the frustration and expense.  It's one-stop shopping: I can provide everything from brand identity, web sites and interactive pieces, print and online marketing collateral, and marketing consulting.

Affordable

I'm affordable because I'm fast, good and versatile.  Beware of weirdly low bids, as they often hide massive change orders that ultimately cost you more and are often accompanied by bad design decisions.  What else are they hiding from you?

Don't wear a cheap-looking suit!  Your website will look very expensive, but you don't have to tell anyone you paid off-the-rack prices for it.

Why shop anywhere else?
