About

www.ThrillDesigns.com is my current main business.
Formerly DestineDesign.com

All the steps involved in getting their site public; design, setup, revisions, feedback, more revisions, etc etc, I do.

It's good work, and fun to design bold ideas from client's product and info.

iGabe will be different like always.

Research CreativeCommons.org for partner ideas or personal artistic freedom.

Yourself alone can do great things online, I identify -- and if I can help I hope to try.

Idea Development

First, in my experience clients find it much easier to describe what they want and how they want it when they aren't limited by just voice(phone) and words(email). When you draw it on paper you may find web design easier to get. I can take your sketch/doodle/messy drawing and professionalize it.

Second, it's faster and therefore cheaper, to just design by letting me try ideas and improve on them with your continuing feedback. This way we have 2 minds contributing different ideas and the change is always obvious. Every design grows from both sides critiques and inevitable brainstorming that comes from extensive collaboration (again - we must work more than once as I personally feel it will be difficult to design a final site without longer-term thinking and experimentation on looks and layouts).

I find sites which cater very interesting new designs to one product alone very simple. Big ideas can be expressed easily without distractions of complicated design and layout. Contradiction is part of design for any business, and complex design is often necessary.

Who to provoke, and what images to invoke. And why or how? Too sly or foul? Hard to understand? Ideas are all around, too many? How can we design or write simply so people can skim through to their object of searching?

Budget & Good Intentions

I do my best to price myself at a very reasonable and affordable level. Pricing is entirely negotiable and can either be a per-project cost or an hourly rate, whichever we can agree on. I'm very flexible on this, so you can tell me which you prefer and I'll work out a fair price for both of us.

You may pay a lot for more ample resources, so I can hire specialized contractors and be extensively responsible for the larger picture of your business; professional editors to write better text on your site and amazing computer techpeople can run your site. This costs extra..

Or I can find the best price for your idea. We work on finding this through phone call and emails or your communication preference.

Some clients give storyboards and stories...
others draw on napkins...
...others can't explain and have to ask questions.

Budget & Time Examples

To give you a general idea of how much your site might cost and how long it might take, I'll give you a few examples to help you figure out how much a site will cost you. Please note that you should take a few seconds and simply contact me for a completely free price estimate to be sure how much(or little!!) your project will cost. These examples are just reference points! The following are purely example projects, budgets and times it would take to complete each:

1. A BASIC SITE can run just $240-$400 for a 1-2 page site with a couple pictures, text content, your contact info. Design is custom made, but mostly a simple, sweet, professional look(nothing too crazy or advanced). If meeting up in person to complete, can be done in just a few hours. or 1-2 days if you want it to be extra pretty. [will usually take 1-2 weeks if communicating by email/phone]
2. A NORMAL SITE is around $500-$800 has about 4-7 pages of content, a number of pictures, lots of text content, and usually a feedback/contact form. If you want to accept payments online, we can set you up with a PayPal account(or another alternative if you prefer) to let you bill people on your site. Each site is different, but completing a normal site will take about 3-7 days if meeting up in person, or 2-3 weeks max. if communicating by email/phone.
3. Small to medium-sized businesses often desire relatively LARGE ADVANCED SITES which will cost usually $900 and up. I will gladly set you up with dynamic pages to ensure easy long-term site expansion. Given that each large advanced site is uniquely different, I'm unable to give a time estimate unless you contact me so I can learn exactly what you need.
