Expert custom website design

I create premium-quality custom websites that get results, since 1999.

The problem with prefabricated websites

Every business and organization that deals with the public in any way needs to have a good website to succeed. People judge businesses based on their first impressions, and those impressions are increasingly online via websites — and also increasingly through website interaction with phones or tablets instead of desktop computers.

While a cheap, prefabricated DIY website might be sufficient for a hobbyist, it’s not good enough to compete in today’s world with websites and web applications custom designed and programmed by experts. Unfortunately, even a lot of professionals use the same DIY page builders and prefab templates to create websites, then charge serious money to cobble them together. Only the best agencies create websites and web apps from scratch.

The difference with custom websites

I specialize in creating custom websites. If we work together, your website will be unique on Earth. If you use a prefab template, chances are that dozens or even hundreds of other companies will have websites nearly identical to yours.

A custom design involves much more than pasting your logo into a corner of the page and changing a few colors. Design is an integral part of marketing, and there are a lot of factors that need to be considered to make a website perform at its best. An expert designer with the ability to make a website do whatever works best for your business — instead of whatever works best for the template — is necessary to take your website to the next level.

The front end of the website is not the only thing that suffers from a cookie-cutter approach. These days, most websites include content management systems, which are software applications that enable non-technical people to edit and manage website content. When I create a website, I also customize the back-end website managment interface that my clients and their teams use to keep the website content up to date, whether that means publishing blog posts, adding videos to pages, creating photo galleries or whatever needs to be done.

A one-size-fits-all approach to website content management costs businesses a lot of ongoing time and money, since it’s designed to work for any situation. A custom-programmed setup boosts efficiency and saves time and money by giving businesses specific, custom-made tools to manage just the type of content they need to handle.
