Designing for the web is a skill that can take years to master and not something that comes free with a copy of Photoshop. On the flip side, thorough knowledge of HTML has nothing to do with design. This is painfully displayed in many 'techie' web sites.
The importance of design should never be underestimated. A good-looking site will influence the user's initial perception of the site's value and encourage them to explore the site further. A tawdry, badly designed front page may deter users from even entering, as might a design that looks completely inappropriate for the site's theme.
By looking at completed and past projects, you will get an idea of our expertise in web site design. The portfolios below contain brief descriptions of some selected projects from our growing list of web solution clients.
