we say you can't afford not to have a website that is customized specifically to your business.

What Services Do I Offer?

I have been developing websites for small business and professionals for over 20 years. As my client's desire to have more control over the content of their websites grew, I started developing most of my websites on a Content Management System platform. My favorite is Joomla! because of its extensibility. I also recommend Wordpress, when the focus of the site is blog oriented.

EBR Website designs provides the tools to market and brand your business, product or services both online and off. In addition to website development, I offer services in graphic arts as well. Whether it is a logo you need or a brochure or business cards, I can accommodate you. I am fluent in Photoshop-the most popular computer software for image manipulation; Illustrator-for vector-based graphics; InDesign-for brochure, book and newsletter layout; as well as Dreamweaver, HTML and CSS.

"Thank you for the fantastic job you did putting our website together. The feedback from our customers, sales force, and office personnel has been extremely positive. From the initial design, to the final implementation of going live, and, most importantly, AFTER going live, you have been efficient, thorough, and you’ve followed through on every detail. Whenever I called, or e-mailed you with a question, or idea, you were open, enthusiastic, and responsive. I never heard “No” – no matter what the request. As good as you are, you did not always have an immediate answer, but if not, you said so, researched it, and ultimately, virtually every request was granted. The design and performance of the site is exactly right for our immediate needs, and, thanks to you, I feel confident we’ll be able to expand the site to meet our needs going forward. Of course, Ellen, I will be very happy to serve as a reference to anyone interested in hearing about our great experience working with you."--BR, CT
