“How long will this take?” That’s a question we hear on a daily basis when talking to someone about a new website project. Sometimes it can be the first question. And our answer? “It depends.” Being a custom web design company, that’s an answer we often provide until we know more information about the project requirements.
Unfortunately, throughout the year we pick up a lot of projects where other web design companies simply can’t (or won’t) finish a project to completion. It’s never a fun situation, but we’re happy to help people get back on track. One particular problem we’ve seen is when a web design business delivers page designs using custom fonts. Now, if these fonts are able to be licensed for web use (or are free and hosted via Google Fonts for example), we’re good to go. But often, the designer chooses his favorite fonts in the design, but those fonts can’t be used online.
Last week, someone told me about their new website that was created by another web design company. They mentioned that the process was relatively painless, but the end result wasn’t quite what they expected. They thought since the website was being built on WordPress, that it was going to be easy to change the text and images on their brand new website. After all, isn’t that what a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress is supposed to do?

I have been working with Shawn for several months. In my past life, I have worked with a variety of developers, so have some experience with this profession. I find that Shawn relates well to the needs of normal human beings who have a vision, but just want technical solutions. He communicates well, has reasonable prices, and delivers as promised. What more can you ask for.

I have worked with Shawn on multiple Web design projects and all I have to say is, he is the best person I have ever partnered with.
I own a marketing firm and when I have a client that needs an awesome website, I will only use Shawn as my designer and development guy.
He asked all the right questions, and his process for building sites is better than anyone’s I’ve seen.
Just hire him. That’s it.
