Experienced

It is far more than just an overture to say that we have been designing and programming beautiful fluid websites for over 24 years. It is a testiment to a deeper understanding of the online world and all the quirks, the platforms, the systems and capabilities of the users that go into making a good website. For a long time we have even maintained a hesitation to go to far forward when it meant significant numbers of users wouldn't be able to use the sytem. We find that too often the new companies don't go back far enough to be compatible for many users. It is a fact that many large companies are simply behind in the technology because they can't annually upgrade their computer systems - and when your website doesn't work for them everybody loses!

We realize that designers right out of tech college are ready to give you a 'powerful' website with the latest bells and whistles, we can too, but we're reminding you that experience is not something to be discounted too quickly. We have worked with you, we know how to help you, how to bring you through the process within your comfort zone, and we know what the right questions are to end with a product that returns your investment.  We also see these companies fall to the wayside when they realize that it all changes every year and they can't keep up.  You really do need a company that will be there year after year to help you stay on top of it all!

Trusted

It is one thing to say that our business is based on referral - that our current clients tell our prospective clients that they can trust us to develop their websites or design their logo at a great price and with the utmost care and concern to boot. We love that! But it is quite another thing to keep serving a client long enough to re-design their website or logo three and four times! That says they believe in us, and we have more than one very large and well known client who we have done that for. This says that after talking to us for a decade and watching their online presence expand and adapt they like how it is working out and look forward to where it is going!

Professional

We all watch the movies and are enamored at the hip kids who cajole their way into a billion-dollar company like Facebook. But at the same time something doesn't sit well and we hope we don't have to face that kind of person when we need a job done. We want honesty, integrity, paperwork, references and a modicum of manners wrapped in a coat of business ethics. We want our web developer to answer our questions, manage situations, guide us with experience, anticipate our needs and our worries and solve our problems - not just talk about them. At The Designsmith professionalism goes far beyond holding a degree from an accredited university, a long-held business license and decades of experience in the field. It means bringing balance and poise to the table to cultivate successful communication and create an exciting atmosphere of forward-thinking cooperation.

Affordable

We presume your web presence is very important to you. We know that people will make decisions about you based on the presentation and that you are considering whether it is wise to pay a professional or hire your nephew who says he can do it for $500. We don't give these things away, but we have worked it out so that we can put together a custom package for you that focuses on presentation but gives you all the tools to grow your website within our dynamic framework. And we do it in a modular and portable style from an atypical office space that allows us to keep the costs way down. Moreover, we almost always throw in something for free to encourage a special feeling of pride in your ownership of your website. Listen to our suggestions, tell us what your budget is, and let us show you options that can make something happen for you.
