Let's get real for a moment.
One of the first things you should check when you're looking for a web developer is their portfolio. Of course you'll see the quality of the their work, but you'll also get an idea about their level of experience. A web developer who claims to have been in business for a long time should have a portfolio that supports their claim. A web development portfolio with four or five web sites does not demonstrate experience.
Since 1994 we've created more than 265 web sites. We stopped counting at 80,000 web pages. We have 220 of those sites on display here. That's about 18 new web sites launched each year, or 1.5 sites each month...
We actively maintain (to different degrees) about 50 web sites for our clients.
(Please Note: Some of our older sites look like they were built in the Internet's "stone age". That's because they were! Our style has evolved with web-development standards, which have changed drastically since 1994 when we began designing web sites.)
