Vision...
The web isn't just for medium and large businesses any more.  Today, we expect every business to be online.  Many times, businesses create a web presence that doesn't match the quality of their work or product.  My vision is to deliver high-quality, elegant websites and graphics for even the smallest businesses.

History...
I started using computers as a draftsman in the late '80's.  In the 90's, I started designing websites and application interfaces for various projects.  Since then, I have been drawn to the elements of good design and have continued both technical and design work for various employers.

Process...
In order to make sure you and I are both ready to start building something together, I will ask a lot of questions about your target demographic, previous marketing efforts, favorite color (no kidding) and other questions.  I use this information, along with my own experience/research to mold the right page layout, colors, page hierarchy and navigation system.  I will present ideas until you are pleased... then we start building from there.

Time, Money & Value...
First, it's not necessary to wait weeks or months for a basic site, even if it's 10 pages.  Most of my projects are completed in less than 1 week, but some have gone longer just due to size and customers delays.

I want my customers to feel they received a great value for their expense.  I price using  fixed bid and hourly rate, depending on your preference.  Most times, a new site is a fixed price and the site maintenance is charged by the hour as needed.

At the end of each project, I ask each customer to provide a written testimonial that highlights how I helped them. If they don't feel they can write a positive testimonial, I will do what it takes to make them a satisfied customer. (this hasn't happened yet..:-))

"Users said they were more likely to believe web sites that looked professionally designed."

"To dismiss front-end design as mere 'icing' is to jeopardize the success of any site."

"If a site is perfectly usable but lacks an elegant and appropriate design style, it will fail."

 

Tim Cerami Design is focused on providing small businesses with creative, professional graphics and web design.  There are a lot of poorly done websites out there.  I want to make make the web better, one site at a time.
I offer services that help you focus on your business, not on learning technology.  Even if you don't know what you want, I can help build your online message.
My keys to making customers happy:  listen, respond, fairness, quality work, over-deliver, give good advice, honesty and the customer has the final say.
Getting your project done on time is my focus. I will work with you to set a delivery date and will do whatever it takes to get it done on-time or early.
