Predictability is good in the web world...
...and so is consistency - setting up the rules on the entry page and following through. A good website works kind of like driving a car - when you're driving, you don't usually think about the mechanics of it - until it breaks. A website should become almost invisible the more a visitor uses it. It becomes all about communication, and doesn't leave your visitor wondering where to click next.

- We're Specialists - We are not a one-stop shop for all things computer-related. We don't set up networks, provide Internet access, or fix your PC. We do just a few things and we do them very well: handcrafting websites that are functional as well as great-looking; helping people find you once your site launches; and paying close attention to our clients.
- We're Experienced - Over 13 years of web design experience and a commitment to staying on top of current best practices and technologies.
- Clean, Standards-Based Design - We develop valid code that loads quickly, is accessible to more users, and adheres to industry standards and best practices.
- Beautiful Websites - The owner's graphic design background and adherence to the design process ensure that you'll get a site that gets attention.
- Usable Websites - We understand the elements of usability and good user experience, and make your site a pleasure to use, not a hassle for your visitors.
- Well-Written Copy - We edit your copy carefully for those spelling and grammar errors that can make your site look less than professional.
- No Templates - You always get a unique, custom, hand-crafted website that will set your business apart from the crowd. (Yes, we create templates for clients that request them, but every custom web design is uniquely yours).
- Optimized Web Sites - Basic search engine optimization is not an expensive add-on - it's included in all of our website design packages.
- Client Focus - From providing a lesson in how PPC works, to keeping you updated on the progress of your website design project, to answering questions about uploading files and making quick text changes on your own site, we're here to help.
- Our E-commerce Roots - We ran Silver Fantasy LLC, a successful online jewelry store, since 1998 (and sold it in 2007). We built the site, photographed the products, coded the shopping cart, marketed it, monitored its performance, and survived incredibly busy Christmas seasons pulling and shipping orders. Since we've gone through these experiences ourselves, we are in a unique position to help others do it with less of a learning curve.
- After the Launch - We don't abandon you. We offer easy site maintenance plans and show you how to keep visitors coming back for more.
- Personal Attention - We're a small studio and can offer you the attention that you might not receive with a larger firm.
- We Love What We Do - Web design rules. We love to code and we enjoy helping our clients learn to use their sites more effectively.
- We Run a Tight Ship - We're ridiculously well-organized and follow a flexible yet thorough development process.
- Future-Proofing - We use Cascading Style Sheets to create your site - this means that the layout on all pages can be changed by simply editing the CSS file - once. So much easier when it comes time to next update your site's look and feel.
