Alterations not Custom Made
Do you pay a tailor to custom make your clothes? Most of us don't. Why? Because it is way too expensive and most of the time the stuff off the rack works just fine. However, sometimes their needs to be some altering done. A little hem here, a tuck there...you get the idea.
That is my concept for web design. There are an innumerable amount of web-site templates out there. Just try doing a search once and you will see. Tons of them are even FREE! These folks just want credit. Who could blame them? So they ask for a link on your site giving them credit for the design.
Many templates are great, but who wants their web-site to look exactly like someone else's? I certainly don't! So what I do is find some ideas of what I like and alter them to add a custom touch.
How does this help you? Well, you don't have to pay for a entirely custom site. Less time involved, means less money out for you. Check out my rates here.
