Before I accept a web project, we talk. We need to discuss what we are building and how we plan to do it. We can talk about layouts and pricing after that – not before. What a website will cost is determined by a variety of things. Most important among that "variety of things" is the content of the pages and who will be responsible for creating that content. If I am doing most of the work, I charge more because... I am doing most of the work. It is the difference between a) creating a website with supplied materials, or b) creating content and website from scratch.

Before any work begins, you and I need to understand the story you/we want to tell with the website. I am generally easygoing and somewhat methodical (possibly boring?) when talking about what can be done. But, I like the idea of starting with two feet on the ground (at least in the beginning).

I can describe the type of websites I design. But, it probably makes more sense for you to just see some of what is currently out there. You can view some current projects. If you are curious about something that you see, do ask. If you are looking for something radically different, ask about that as well. I also "tutor" individuals on just about anything/everything from web basics to marketing ventures. For some, I am only their outside consultant. For others, I am the brick and mortar behind their web presence.

I have been doing this stuff for over two decades. I have had some higher-end clients and a few that I probably should never talk about in public. I enjoy the work. I do a variety of things fairly well. I would like to add a few clients to fill out the list and add some variety. With the prospects of the upcoming economic forecasts being what they are these days, a little extra income might help in keeping the house at a comfortable temperature this coming winter.

I very seldom do shiny object or smoke & mirror websites. I even have a hard time doing contemporary and trendy. My goal is always to tell a story... whether it is my own or someone else's. Chances are – if you made it this far down the page – you might have a feeling "this might work out" or "this kinda feels right." If that's not the case, you have already gone back to your Google search and will have never read that last paragraph.

You will have questions. I will have questions. Both of us will need some answers. Hopefully – those answers will make sense and be of value.

You can send an email, or call the home phone. If you are local (within 10 miles of New Milford, CT) I do not mind the drive, meeting in a convenient halfway point, or inviting you to the house. Once outside the 10-mile radius I tend to privilege existing clients or charge for the travel/consulting time.
