You need a fabulous site that looks fantastic and will help you grow your business or nonprofit. Of course it should look great on every computer, phone and tablet and you want to be able to make changes to it yourself. On top of that, you're working within a budget so it can't be too expensive. If that sounds about right then I can help. I build new, user-editable, mobile-friendly (aka responsive) websites that are easy to use and include everything you need - even training - in one simple package. All of my sites are created on a reliable, secure system with built-in tools for working with your site - no special software or knowledge is needed and you can even edit your site from the couch on a tablet. Pricing is based on the size of the site you need and what features you want to include.

Since 2005, I've worked on over 300 projects including new website designs, website redesigns, components, add-ons, troubleshooting for corporations, small businesses, individuals and nonprofits. I've assisted health professionals, designers, artists and much more. Here are a few of those projects. Keep in mind that all of my sites are editable by their owners and the sites may look quite different currently.

I love small businesses and nonprofits
Since 2003 I've been setting up small businesses and nonprofits with the tools and training to do as much (or as little) of their own websites and marketing as desired. I offer payment plans and, in addition to websites, heaps of free training and ongoing ideas, inspiration and assistance. In the same way that so many helped me get started I love paying it forward to help new people bring their ideas to the world.
"I wanted to pass on a big "thank you" from the men and women of the USS Frank Knox reunion association. All expressed deep appreciation after viewing the website and the work you did to get us up and running. I am bringing back 4+ hours of video of the older veterans and some of their stories. Once edited I think these stories will add to the site in a meaningful way. Your work is greatly appreciated. Thank you on behalf of all the Frank Knox veterans and their wives." ~ Stephen Cross, U.S.S. Frank Knox Reunion Association - ussfrankknox.com
