Website Services              

An organization's website needs to do three things

  1. Present a strategic, positive image
  2. Provide correct and concise information for both patrons/clients and potential supporters
  3. Function as an avenue for constituents to access your services and/or for supporters to contribute to your organization's worthy cause. 

While accomplishing these things, it must be easy to navigate and understand, uncluttered and uncomplicated.   It must also be up-to-date and remain fresh, not stale.  All these things contribute directly to your success. And in today's internet age, a huge portion of your constituents and supporters will use your website not only for current information on your organization, but also to make an initial decision as to whether you are worthy of their time and money.

I can work with you to determine the exact image you want to put forth on your website, what your constituents and your supporters need to know, and what they need to access your services or contribute to your cause.  After we've designed your site, I can then modify and update it quickly and easily with just an email or call from you with any alterations.  And your site will be simple and elegant in design so it can be handed off to another webmaster in the future, if need be, without missing a beat.

Chocolate Confessions
(added 5/29/07)

"It has been a true pleasure working with Patrick Spike on the design of our website for Chocolate Confessions - the musical comedy.  Spike is one of those rare individuals who brings a wide range of skills to bear: technical proficiency, great communication abilities, strong background in theater productions, and a good eye for graphic design.  His input was invaluable as we shaped not only our show's website but also our administrative procedures for the production.  I've also appreciated his responsiveness and attention to detail, and recommend him highly!" - Joan Freed

Address Unknown
(added 3/13/07)

"I had a lousy experience with a diva graphic designer on my most recent project, but then was rescued -- and treated with respect and professionalism by Patrick Spike.  He took our initial design and grew it considerably, and he's responsible for Address Unknown's look and feel, which includes website, posters, postcards, program and more.  He worked quickly, efficiently, provided expert counsel, listened well, and understood and honored the client-designer relationship.  I cannot recommend him highly enough to any company seeking a designer for their marketing needs." - Mary McDonald-Lewis

"I really like the job you did on my website.  I have been getting comments from friends and family about how much better it looks.  I think it helps me have more credibility as a business person.  I like the fact that it's easy to navigate through it and I also like that you were sensitive to the nature of the business.  (Those doggy bone/buttons are so cute!)  Thanks again!" - Michelle Rizzi, Owner
