About Web Design
Why should you choose KollodgeDesign for your Website Design and Development?- The world of website designers is filled with self-taught and tech-based individuals. Self-taught website designers are similar to the desktop publishers of the last decade. They may be able to produce a site, but how professional, stylish and eye-catching is the outcome? Tech-based individuals can create great mechanics on a site, but their design is often limited.
- I'm a formally trained graphic designer, who is experienced at doing great design and translating it to web applications. With my years of experience in graphic design, I can create almost any print piece with the style and professional image you desire, and I can translate it to a web-based solution. The two mediums can work together as one to create more interest in your business than you thought possible.
- Furthermore, I specialize in content management systems and database administration, so the web sites I create utilize advanced functionality with the added bonus of a great user interface for those who wish to make their own site updates.
