My name is Kim Smith. I have been designing websites since January of 1998. While I live in West Michigan (near Grand Rapids), my clients are located all over the United States. Communication is not a problem, since most communication takes place via email, with an occasional phone call. This is true even for my local clients.

My clients find that I walk them through the unfamiliar territory of designing their website and explain the process very clearly as we create their web presence.  I give guidance based on my education and experience, but ultimately, the client has to be happy with their site and their decisions are honored.

I use the WordPress platform for site building, as it is easy to update and change whenever the client chooses.  However, I also do know how to hand-code HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, and PHP, should a client request a particular requirement.  I have certificates for the successful completion of the following online courses:

  • HTML 101, 201, 301
  • Tables
  • Forms
  • Frames
  • CSS
  • PSP 101, 201

Once your site is complete, I will give you some basic guidance on how to market your business to your target audience, both online and off.  I am also available to hire for private marketing consultations.

Graphic design is another service that you can receive at Dramatic Design.  This includes web graphics, photo manipulation, logo design, and print design (business cards, flyers, brochures, etcetera).

And the best part is–all these services are priced to be affordable for the small business owner!  Being an entrepreneur myself, I understand that money can be an issue.  My goal is to keep design and marketing affordable so other small businesses can “play with the big dogs” and succeed!  Nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients’ businesses succeed!  Contact me for your free consultation!

I am a proud member of the following associations:
