for your new website, logo, business cards etc., and where can you find a
quality inspired and affordable solution?
You have 3 options:

2. You go through a local or national graphic designing firm, paying prices up to
$6000 for the logo face of your company, or even $15,000 for a 10-page website.
OR
3. You choose me. A freelance graphic designer not associated with any
government taxes, personnel staff, and facility charges, who can afford to charge
honest reasonable prices for graphic design! You choose an individual with over 5

shop. To have a presence in the web, is to have a showcase among your
competitors. Your website must have an attractive landing page that
lures the visitor deeper and into your page so you can showcase your
services. You can have fully interactive flash pages, which have slickly
coded CSS pages, maybe include javascript forms to send you customer
contact info, have interactive community forums, an integrated
wordpress blog, or video embedding- it’s up to you. SEO, or search
engine optimization, is key in getting your website to the #1 spot on
Google in your market... or more realistically the 1st page; I can help with
that also.

Banner Ads

…whether in skyscraper format or landscape format are used to

showcase your website on other websites. Usually, you pay for the
advertisement, or agree with the other company to display their ad if
they do the same in turn. While I can do static banner ads, I can also do
streamline .gif animations, and flash animations to draw attention to your
landing page.

Process
While creating webpages, there
are a couple methods that we can
: go by. 1st would be to create a
webpage entirely from scratch,
start out with my own html, css
bank, javascript database, and
flash animations. Although, through
this process, you might receive a
more “original” webpage than the
other alternatives; it will take many
a lot more of our time and your
money for the project. The method
:
What I do highly recommend, and
from which I my most cherished
: webpages come from, is working
off of an already professionally
made template. Even though I am
: working on a template, I can still
guarantee you will receive a slick,
respectable professionally looking,
:
highly functional, and still original
webpage. I wouldn’t settle for less.
I do a lot of tweaking and code
:
work with templates, it takes a lot
less time than rather creating 100%
content from scratch. You would
:
end up going to a site like
monstertemplate.com with me,
and deciding which template to
download -usually ranging from
$50-$65. I build from the template,
:
and tweak content, themes, and
images.
For SEO operations, I will charge for
the initial revamping of your
website, and for effective SEO
campaigns, I would have to
maintain a monthly SEO process,
one that I would charge $20 a
month after the initial optimization.

Turnaround
Information:
“You can’t rush art, but I’ll get it
done as fast as I can...”
The whole design process varies in
length for the different kinds of
items being made. While logos
take significantly shorter than
websites, business cards and
stationary take significantly shorter
than logos. These are my estimated
timelines due to past experiences
for work projects. Of course, these
are subject to be longer or shorter
depending on the tightness of the
collaboration between you and I.

The earlier time frames are
reached when you are as involved
as possible throughout the whole
process. They are also highly
dependent on the factors of:
whether or not you have a logo
already, if you know generally
what your looking for, & if you
already have the content to put
into the work.
The last factor is very important,
from experience I know this; it’s a
daunting process when the client is
not surefooted in what they want
now and does not have set goals
for the end. Efficiency is what I
intend to bring to the table, for the
good of both of us!

About me:
My name is Josh. I am a 21 year
old college student. I have been
working with an income in the
graphic design field ever since I

various classes and training to
improve myself. I worked as a full

Christian Center in Dublin, CA. I
received the majority of my
techniques and skills under the
employment there of a very
qualified designer. Since then, I
have been freelancing for local
businesses, restaurants, CISCO, and
competing in online design
competitions via crowdspring.com.
Currently, I am in the process of
becoming a Professional Fire

the meantime, I am a volunteer
