Welcome To DesignByAlexis.com
Hello, my name is Alexis Masters, and I have been helping artists, authors, entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations find their way on the web since 1997. It has given me great pleasure over the years to work with these wonderful, creative clients to define and build them affordable, high-style websites, which you can view by browsing the links to the left.
As a novelist in my "other" life, I spend lots of time in solitude. Although this is good for my storytelling muse, it can also be very isolating. Web design, on the other hand, is a truly collaborative effort. I try hard to ensure The Design Process is fun and rewarding for every client. You can see some of the results of this process here in this online portfolio.
Whether or not you become one of my valued clients, I hope you enjoy browsing the materials I've gathered together here. I guarantee if you put this information to use, it will greatly enrich your own website planning. Visit my page on Site Navigation and Interactivity, two very important aspects of web design. Read through my Frequently Asked Questions then compare my information with other information you may come across in your search for your ideal designer. Download and spend some time looking over The Design Worksheet (PDF), a tool many clients find extremely helpful.
And when it's time to begin your site, be sure you know exactly what you'll receive from your designer/developer and what is expected of you when you hire someone for your site. There's lots of smoke and mirrors out there in Cyberville these days.
Feel free to send me a greeting or, better yet, ask me a question. I'm always delighted to discuss web design whenever I have the chance. And if you know someone who needs a website, a site redesign, a web consultant or copy writer to develop web content, I hope you will take a moment to recommend my site.
