Anyone can make a web page!

Believe it or not, this is actually true. To some extent.

That doesn't mean it will look professional, function properly, or meet W3C usability standards though.

What is a Web Designer?

Unfortunately, the role of a web designer is often widely misinterpreted. To put it simply, if you want someone to design a logo for your business, you can hire a graphic designer. If you want someone to publish and maintain changes to an existing website, you can hire a website coordinator. If you want a custom, interactive form with database integration, you can hire a web developer. If you want someone that can do all of this (and more), you hire a Web Designer.

What can I provide?

Whether you have a website already, or need to establish a web prescence, I can take care of everything needed to get you going, including:

  • registering a new domain name (yourcompanyname.com)
  • securing a hosting environment (a place to store your website)
  • setting up your email accounts
  • designing a logo for your business
  • designing and printing your corporate identity products (business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc.)
  • designing and integrating your website with powerful Internet applications
  • designing and printing promotional materials (brochures, flyers, etc.)

  • registration and setup of domain names (.com, .ca, .net, etc.)
  • setup and integration of hosting environment
  • web design concepts and layout
