Welcome To DesignByAlexis

Alexis Masters, author and web developerHello, 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 people to define and build their websites.

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 via the links on the left.

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 pages on Site Navigation and Interactivity, two very important aspects of web design. Download and spend some time looking over The Design Worksheet (PDF), a tool many clients find extremely helpful. Read through my Frequently Asked Questions then compare my information with other information you may come across in your search for your ideal designer.

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 recommend my site.
