Services
My services include, but are not limited to:
Logo design
Creating an identity for your business is one of the most important ways to communicate who you are, what you are, and what products your business sells or what service your business provides. A logo should represent what your business is and if designed well, should be:
- • Simple
- • Memorable
- • Appropriate
- • Versatile
Upon completion of a logo design, I would recommend continuing to brand your business with a website, business cards, letterheads, envelopes, building signs, etc. This will ensure that your materials look the same and stay consistent while spreading the word and creating awareness.
Web design
Open your business to the world and expand your hours of operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! The internet does not call in sick, it doesn't take vacation, nor does it take off for the holidays!
Whether you want an online presence to process product orders or create an informational website for your services available around the clock, I can help you.
In today's business world, it is almost unheard of NOT to have a website. Your business should have a web presence because if designed well and contains the content to intrigue your potential customers to act, it will be a successful tool for generating additional revenue.
I design and develop my websites with W3C Standard CSS and XHTML. This means that all internet browsers on all different computer operating systems will render your website the same. I offer Search Engine Optimization (SEO) at a one time additional cost so users who search for websites like yours on search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and Bing will be able to find you.
Does your company need a Content Management System (CMS) such as Wordpress, but want a custom design branded like the rest of your materials floating around? I offer custom Wordpress theme design and development, including training you and your team on how to update your web pages yourself upon completion of the project. This eliminates the need for a code savvy web designer to make updates to your website. Perfect for making updates yourself without knowing any web design code and if your website contains a lot of pages.
Print design
So you started a business or have had one for quite some time now. When you meet with clients or talk to a potential contact, are you jotting your name and phone number on a napkin at the local coffee shop or are you handing them a well designed, professional business card with all of your contact information?
When you look at your product, is it contained inside of a nice, sleek, eye-catching, professionally designed package that customers will want to pick-up and buy? Possibly tell others about?
Is your business being marketed correctly, if at all? Creating magazine advertisements is a great way to market your business. Depending on your target market and the magazine chosen, you can get thousands of impressions. There are a lot of marketing opportunities available, not just magazines.
Print design services, in short, include business cards, posters, signs, t-shirts, flyers, letterheads, envelopes, book covers and layout, CDs and inlays, billboards, advertisements, and more!

Website Rates
Every client has a unique position with different needs for each project. Before contacting me about your graphic design needs, I ask that you fill out a short Design Brief so I can get a better understanding of what your project consists of. This way I can give you a more customized quote.
However, I know you want the bottom line up front. The below rates are basic and will give you a feel for an estimated budget you will need before we begin work. The below rates do not include taxes, photography, copy writing, shipping, registration fees, or hosting fees.
I offer payment plans as well. We can talk about the plans upon an initial meeting.
Estimated Costs
Complete Basic Website: $900 - $3000
This includes search engine optimization (SEO), site design, programming, and implementation. I will help you set up registration, domain, and hosting.
Content Management Systems (CMS): $2000 - $6000
A Content Management System (CMS) is a database-driven architecture that allows you to update your own website without needing the knowledge of website development and coding. Depending on how often you plan to make updates to your website and what kind of website you are looking for, for example an e-commerce website, this is the option you would most likely benefit from in the long run. Currently, I only work with Wordpress.
Website Maintenance: $40/hour
If you already have a website and just need updates including text, images, new and improved coding for specific parts of your website, more pages, etc, I can help you. The rate may seem high, but updates generally go really fast and are billed in 15 minute increments.
Payment Plans
I understand the risk and cost that is associated with starting up a new business. This is why I offer payment plans for any graphic design service. When you fill out the Design Brief or during our initial meeting, just let me know and I'd be happy to set up a payment plan. And, there is no interest!
