Web design and hosting for small business

Nov 2004

Hi, I need a reasonably priced individual or company to design and host a website for my small business. Does anybody have a recommendation? Thank you jackiez


I can recommend Chris Dunaway as a web designer. chris AT hankmagee.com 510-653-8253 http://www.hankmagee.com/ She did not design my site, but maintains it. She has designed a number of sites for my colleagues and they are listed on her site. Her fees are very reasonable. Sherry
I imagine that you can find a wide range of prices for web design. We used ESP for our design after having a not so great product from another (overseas) company. We found the people at ESP to be incredibly helpful and thorough, as well as local. The references I checked were all of small businesses, as well as a few non-profits, so I imagine they were in-line with what was out there. I went with them because of the kind of service they offered - direct personal contact, thoughtfulness, as well as other computer stuff - web hosting, email, networking, etc. They do it all. Give them a call: ESP Interactive Solutions 1225-A Solano Ave. Albany, CA 94706 510.526-2592 phone 510.559.8698 fax, and if you talk to Tim (the owner) tell him I sent you. Shahana
I can highly recommend Doug Asherman. He does very elegant, clean and efficient work at reasonable rates. His number is 510-653-8445 and email: doug@italcorner.com. You can see examples of his work at www.italcorner.com/wdb Sandy Der sandy@taodekitchen.com
Ebers Garcia has his own company, EBERSGFX, that does web design and hosting. His company also has other design services. Ebers Garcia designed the cover of a book of a good friend and professional colleague at UC Davis and he did a beautiful job. You can learn more about his company's services by visiting their website at www.ebersgfx.com ceniza
I'd recommend Kohlim Jaeger for web design. You can see her work on my site http://www.focusingresources.com Look at the bottom of the home page for her contact info. We use OLM (On-Line Marketing) for web hosting, and they're marvelous--low-cost with excellent free support. Ann

Someone to get my website up and running

Feb 2004

I am looking for someone to help me to design a website for a new feminist organization. I will supply all content and have some design and navigation specifications and hope to find someone to get the initial site up and running, and follow up consultations as the site grows. I would also like the person to train me to continue to update and expand the site myself. I prefer to use a widely used commercial program like Dreamweaver. Ideally this would be a person with some experience creating websites for themselves or an organization who is looking for a small project to do from home. I would be ready to begin in the next few weeks. Thanks!


For my web site, I used Pat Smith at Yellow Belly Web Design. Working with her was a great experience. She really listened to the look I wanted and integrated it into her design. She's done a lot of web sites, including her own, so you'd have a lot of examples of her work to look at~ Pat Smith, 848-7256 (in Berkeley), E-mail is pat AT yellowbellywebdesign.com.
I highly recommend Greg Bertoldo. He designed the website for our (now closed) business, and I believe its still up at www.carterbrown.com. He also did all the photos!! He is a great guy and very talented and we loved working with him. He can be reached at bertoldo AT trailtopia.com. Let me know if you have any trouble reaching him, I can send along his phone number. Also, he is more than happy and willing to teach you how to maintain/update your own site. Can't recommend him highly enough. Rebecca

They are all really wonderful people to work with and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the product. They can be reached at 415-369-3200.
