2008 Biz is Booming!
Notice to prospective clients: Scheduling for new web design projects (for the exception of the new one-page website) has been filled for the first half of 2008. Please call for NEW design projects to be scheduled in July.Notice to current clients: Because I'm a "one-chick" operation, understand I limit new clients so that my service to you is never compromised.
Notice to local web designers: I'm turning down 5+ new clients a week due to my full schedule. If you are adept at web design (portfolio and references will be expected), if you have a good grasp of SEO, and especially if you're experienced in joomla or other CMS development, please give me a call to discuss the possibility of an alliance or partnership. Sorry, NO Foreign outsourcing, I'm interested in only partnering with a face-to-face local who understands the unique Western North Carolina market challenges for small business and professionals.

Web Design
Once upon a time, this section was filled with compelling justifications for owning web presence. But, if you still aren't sold on the importance of a web site, or listing your business in online directories or IYPs (Internet Yellow Pages), just know I'm staying busy creating web sites for your competitors!Short and to the point: Mountain Webs designs small to moderate size sites for folks with small to moderate size budgets. You will own a clean, hand coded site using xhtml and CSS, incorporating the latest web standards and practices. Call Mountain Webs when you're serious about having a cost effective online presence for your business, or when you'd like to celebrate a fun event!
2008 Service and Fees Schedule - Mountain Web and Graphic Design fees are well below regional industry schedules, but I utilize many free OSD (open source design) applications, and I strive to keep overhead low in order to make quality web presence affordable for local professionals. Then there's the whole thing of me being able to walk to work in my bedroom slippers! It's a win-win for all.
