Dawson Studios: Web Design

Web Design

I offer Site Reviews, Site Design/Redesign and Site Maintenance services that have impressed clients with their elegant presentation and attention to detail.

Site Review
For a nominal fee I will furnish a written review of your site, complete with recommendations for improvement. Sometimes a pair of eyes from "outside" is just what's needed to take a site from so-so to fabulous. There is no obligation to render the suggested changes.

Site Design & Construction
Sites are custom designed to reflect the needs and personality of the client. Graphic elements, color palettes, choice of photos and layouts are all made-to-order. Sites are constructed using current state of the art software, and are compatible with all platforms and current browsers.

Ongoing Site Maintenance
Once your site is constructed, it will need to be updated and maintained. A familiarity with the site and its contents is critical, since you need to understand how what you are adding (or subtracting) will interact with files already there. A maintenance contract can be arranged that will allow you to optimize quality control and expedite the updating process by having the site maintained by the one who designed it.
