I like websites that are clean and easy to use. I don't like designs that are so artsy and look-at-me cool that no one can figure out how to get around. A good design reflects the personality of the business or author and builds on their brand image.

It's easy to put up a website where I put up all the content and nothing ever changes. But what excites me is when I can teach clients how to easily update and expand their site on their own. Do you know how easy it is to be able to email photos up to a website? Or to go to your website, hit "edit me" and add items to a calendar?

Many of my sites have an "Edit Me" button for super-easy editing.

Most of my clients aren't programmers and don't want to be. They have businesses to run, or articles to write, or conferences to organize. It's my job to install the software and do the background magic to make a website easy to use and update. If you can use email then you can update one of my websites. It's really that easy.

I can take your website from a dream to a finished reality in just a few weeks. I can help you register a domain, I can host it and I can load it with the design and features you want. The first consultation is free: if you're in South Jersey or the Philadelphia area we can meet in person, otherwise we can talk by phone. I pull together our conversation into a proposal with cost estimates and a list of options that you can choose. Start today: email me at martink@nonviolence.org or check out my contacts page for more options.
