Welcome! This is a one man show here and I do not do this professionally
for a living. I have a lot of web site projects completed, and my
portfolio is only part of them.
I also have plenty of logos and business card designs I
have helped people with. When I design a logo you can use it for
printing as well, so your web site and business card are the same.
If you currently have a logo then that can be used on your web site.
Ok, back to me.. I'm self taught and because of that found
the quickest way to get the job done and to me that is the most
important thing. The problem with web design is that it has to get
done and then the aesthetic issues can be worked out. The reason
I do it this way is that I have heard plenty of horror stories about
web sites never getting finished and it usually is that there is
so much back and forth about color or text size that the web site
never gets finished.
So I like to create the logo based on your color recommendations
and any other things you want to tell me about then build the site
around that. You have to text ready for the pages you want, because
without it you do not have much of a web site. If I have the text,
I can put a complete web site up in about 3 or 4 hours.
I work fast and it also depends on the project and how
extensive you want the graphics and number of pages you want. Still,
in my opinion it is best to start with the basic stuff to get a
complete working web site in the quickest time. Then we can add
pages and improve things. I have found over the years that the customer
is usually the one that has the final answer! They will advise you
what they like.
So do not over think colors and lay out in the beginning
and the web site will be done very fast.
Other then that I usually will complete a project prior
to payment so that you do not pay until the project is done.
The web site you are looking at here took about 2 hours
from start to finish including the logo and graphics on the portfolio
page!
Thanks
David
