"I am so grateful that I found Daryle. He has exceeded my expectations! Daryle is gifted in advertising, marketing and web design. He has helped inform me on many areas that are not my specialty such as social media and SEO (search engine optimization) and that has saved me time and $. He created an awesome website for me and continues to update my social media sites and even above and beyond my expectations in getting 2 videos on my web site as well. Joe Flora" More...

What makes a great website?
First off, a great website makes a good first impression the moment a visitor or prospective client or customer first arrives at the home page.
Secondly, it must be easy to navigate. That is, a reader must be able to quickly and easily find the exact information they are looking for.
Just as important, a great website must be supported by strong Search Engine Optimization. This means, when a person first goes to Google in search for a business such as yours, your website will appear early in their search engine results. Having a beautiful website is of no value if people cannot find you.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
There are a number of things I would like to know from a client prior to starting a project:
1. What kind of functionality would you like your website to have?
2. How many pages to you envision your website being?
3. Do you have images that you can use on your website?
4. Will you be providing the written content for your site, or would you like to leave that up to me?
5. Are there competitive websites that you like or would like to emulate in functionality?
6. How soon would you like to be on the Internet
Describe your creative process.
The creative process can several forms. Usually, however, it involves a meeting or discussion with the client about his or her project. Once I have a general outline for the scope of the project, I will prepare a formal written estimate for them. Once approved, I will prepare a website map that will outline the layout and navigation for their website. This will allow the client to see how all the pages of their site will work together.
Many of my clients prefer that I handle all creative aspects of their website, trusting my 25+ years of marketing experience. Others prefer a more hands-on approach. I am happy to work with either type of client.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
This depends upon the nature of the website. If it is a retail or e-commerce site, I will need product information, prices and other details. If it is a Content Management Site (CMS), I will need information about the Company, bios of key individuals within the organization, contact information, and other details.
What do you love most about your job?
The variety. My clients come from all fields and industries. For this reason, it is never the same day twice for me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been working in marketing and advertising for over 25 years. I enjoy the challenge and reward of being my own boss.
Why should our clients choose you?
Unlike most website designer who are simply just designers, I bring a strategic focus to my work that is based upon my more than 25 years of marketing experience. When you hire me, you won't just get a website - you will get a marketing solution.
