<div class="justified">
Websites come in all shapes, sizes, colors and moods.  They come pre-designed in 
template form or custom-designed to meet your individual needs and desires.  
Each site I build is hand-coded for optimal performance.  I do not offer template 
designs as I believe your website should be uniquely yours and not one based on a 
cookie-cutter template used by hundreds or even thousands of others.  
<br><br>
<div class="tip">
<h2>Tip</h2>
In your quest to find a designer, may I suggest that you keep this distinction in 
mind so that you do not end up paying premium prices for a recycled template site, 
or one built with a graphical editor such as FrontPage.  While there's nothing wrong 
with either of these solutions if that is what meets your needs, you shouldn't have 
to pay more than it's worth.</div>
<br>
<h2>Effective Web Design</h2>
<br>
An effective website is more than just a website registered with all the search 
engines.  An effective site works for you, 24 hours a day, all over the world.
<br><br>

<b>Characteristics of an effective web site:</b>
<ul>
<li>easy to navigate</li>
<li>loads quickly</li>
<li>contains relevant and timely information</li>
<li>free of typographical and design errors</li>
<li>pleasing to the eye</li>
<li>search engine friendly</li>
<li>professional, yet with a personal touch</li>
</ul>
<br>
Professional <i>and</i> personal?<br>
Absolutely!  The Internet is a big cyberplace and personal interaction, whether face 
to face or over the phone, is rare.  In business sites especially, there is a tendency to 
focus on total professionalism to the exclusion of all else, creating at best a very 
nice-looking site that is devoid of any personality whatsoever.
<br><br>
When people land on a site that feels comfortable and friendly, they are more likely 
to come back to it again and again.  Be professional <b>and</b> be yourself.  The 
friendliness and helpfulness - and professionalism - that you demand of your employess 
should be mirrored on your website.
<br><br>
<h2>How much does it cost?</h2>
<br>
It's the answer nobody likes:  It depends.  Don't you just hate that?  But it's the 
truth, especially in this business.  The price of a website is dependent upon its 
size and complexity.  Do you need many pages, or just a few?  Do you have hundreds 
of photos that will need to be scanned, or just a couple?  Or none?  Do you need a 
brochure site, or an e-commerce site?  Do you have a logo, or do you need one created?  
All of these things, and more, affect the cost of building a website.
<br><br>
<h2>Working with you</h2>
<br>
Are you on a limited buget?  Many small businesses are.  Homefront Studios can work 
with you to stay within your budget, designing a site that will be effective and 
affordable, and that can grow as your business grows. 
<br><br>
<h2>Share your vision</h2>
<br>
<img src="graphics/snake.gif" width="78" height="82" alt="" border="0" align="left">
Share your vision with me, and I'll help you share it with the world.  Tell me 
how you envision your website will look and what you'd like it to do.  I'll 
get back to you within two business days with a free estimate based on the information 
you supply.  Remember: The more detailed the description, the more accurate the estimate.
<br><br>
If you don't know what you want, or if you're unsure what a website can do for you, 
tell me! I'll be more than happy to discuss your options with you and show you how 
a website can expand your business.  
<br><br>
If you would prefer that I contact you over the phone, please include your area code 
and phone number in the message.
<br><br>
And please... Verify all contact information you are providing.  I can't get in touch 
with you if it's incorrect or incomplete.
