>>The method to my madness-
Design Theory
I govern my design aesthetic under the harmonies of Principle (integrity), Pattern (form), and Purpose (function).
Principle + Pattern = captivating and enticing.
Principle + Purpose = boring product.
Pattern + Purpose = conceptual and “outside the box”.
However, Chaos + conceptual = pleasant surprises.

The content management system that I use is WordPress. It offers the most flexibility and development options to custom build elegant and stunning websites in my opinion. It is a great content management system for the needs of small businesses to large-sized organizations. It is easy to customize and easy to integrate with other software tools. There are hundreds of website themes to choose from. It also has the largest framework in the world–excellent for stability and security!
Honestly, it depends on the type of website you need. Generally, it takes about 1 – 4 weeks once I receive all of your content (pictures, videos, etc). For e-commerce websites, it takes longer because I have to build the products. It also takes longer for those websites that have multiple pages. One page websites are usually the fastest turn-around. Regardless of the task, I will keep you updated regularly and I will get it done in a timely manner.
It depends on how much you want to contribute. Clients usually spend time purchasing the domain, securing website hosting, purchasing the design theme that speaks to you, gathering logins, monitoring progress, and giving me the details and ideas of your project… Usually no more than a few hours.

I do not offer hosting. You have to supply your own hosting service and domain with cPanel. If you are unsure how to proceed, I will help you through the process, and refer you to several hosting services.
Absolutely. WordPress has a framework that makes it easier to update than most. With a little virtual training (YouTube videos, etc.) you should be able to change out a photo or add some content without too much difficulty. If you are familiar with MS Word and can maneuver around without any difficulty, you should be able to navigate WordPress to update your website yourself. There are also many youtube beginner’s tutorials that are sure to help you with any questions you may have.

Check the quality of their graphics and photos. Look for an original design and not a “template” design. Check out their portfolio. Check to make sure that they show up when doing a google search.
