Featured in Web Designer Depot

I’m happy to announce that my Old Ironsides photo was featured by Web Designer Depot as a striking example of grunge photography.

In addition to web and graphic design, I am an avid photographer. I enjoy taking photos during important and meaningful times in my life, then processing them in Photoshop to further express my emotion. It’s a wonderful outlet for me, and provides practice developing skills to meet the ever expanding needs of clients.

My websites save you time and money

Wordpress Login ScreenOne of my most often requested design services is to create websites that clients, can modify and operate on their own. I’ve heard horror stories of designers and agencies who, once a website is completed, become difficult to get a hold of to make changes or updates. If a client wants to update their store hours, contact number, or perhaps the “about us” page, what should be quick and painless becomes a long, drawn out process.

For my clients, this isn’t an issue. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can update your Chris Bauer website, from your own computer, in minutes! How? Through the awesomeness that is the Wordpress content management system.

Wordpress is online software, similar to Yahoo or Google Mail, that helps users easily update and modify your own web content.

I’ll provide you with a web url, a user name and password, which you use to log in. Once logged in, you’ll be presented with the tools to modify as much or as little of your site as you like.Wordpress Page Editing

Depending on your preferences, you can add additional pages, such as a “directions” page, or add extra features to a product description.

There is a down side to all this power. There is no need to hire a designer! Just let me know what important before we begin the process, and you’ll be able to completely overhaul your own site, leaving me or another design professional out of the picture.

The reason I offer this service is because I want clients to gain as much out of our relationship as possible. To me, a happy, empowered client is a lot more important than a bit of extra design work.
Of course, you won’t be left alone to learn this system. I’ll be there to lend as much support as is needed. Just give me a call.
