Darsow Web Design - Custom Websites Optimized by Design
Professional Web design by David A. Darsow
View one of my current web design projects.
Whether you are looking for a basic personal Web site or a more comprehensive site for your business, Darsow Web Design can meet your affordable website design needs without breaking the bank. My many years of computer experience have resulted in a unique method of Web site development which results in Web pages which have a tendancy to naturally rank higher in search engine placement than other sites targeting the same keywords and phrases. I call my method "Optimized by Design" because it consistently results in higher search engine placement than the competition--even when they are spending huge amounts of money on SEO campaigns!
Unlike most developers who see Web site optimization as a secondary goal to be dealt with after the site is built, I have developed a combination of coding and design practices which work together to give my pages an edge on the competition and save my customers substantial costs.
All of my sites are completely hand coded to ensure that they are 100 percent W3C compliant and that they will display properly in all browsers. I take great pride in the clean well written html, css, php, and/or javascript code that is found behind each and every site that I build, and refuse to use "shortcuts" which sacrifice quality for quantity. I guarantee that when your site is built by Darsow Web Design, you are getting the absolute best quality website possible.
I also custom build PCs (computers) to meet customer needs and provide software installation and support. Looking for a new computer? Ask me why custom built machines are almost always a much better value than pre-packaged machines from the store.

This site is best viewed with ANY web browser!
You have probably seen it. Some idiot designs a site (either purposely or otherwise) in such a way that it only works with a particular browser such as Internet Explorer. Then, rather than fixing the problem, they are so bold as to proudly announce to the world on the page something like "This site best viewed in Internet Explorer" or "This site designed to be viewed at a resolution of 1024x768." Such practices are a pet peeve of mine and usually dramatically reduce the potential audience of the sites using them. Even if 90% of your target audience will have the "required" browser or screen resolution to view the site, is it worth it to effectively tell the other 10% they are not welcome?
Suppose you paid a large sum of money for a television advertising campaign. Would you be happy if the advertising company told you that your ad would only be viewable by people who own a 35 inch Sony flat screen television? I doubt it. Don't let your web developer do that either. Web pages can and should be viewable by everyone.
Although I design my pages to work in any browser, many people do not. Because of this, I strongly recommend using Firefox for a Web browser; not only is it 100% W3C compliant (that means it always displays pages correctly according to universally accepted standards), but it is easilly customized and completely free.
