Merks-Inc Professional Graphic Design - About Us
I moved to the USA in mid 2001 From Geralton, Western Australia where I have continued to ply my experience as a Graphics Designer.
My previous experiences are very extensive, Wanting to get the most out of life, I had moved all around Australia, from Melbourne,Victoria to Cairns, Queensland, Adeliade, Darwin and then Geraldton and several places in between.
Graphics design has always been a passion of mine for as long I can recall, Creating images, Landscapes of places only ever seen in my minds eye, real places as well of course when I was a child. I still continue to draw as time permits.
I'm constantly on the look out to improve my skills as a designer giving you, my client the best I can, after all it's you that will use your website and business cards to further promote your business.
What makes my clients websites unique?
Every website I design is a one of a kind, with that said I can copy to some degree, existing site designs, this is not something I like to do but after all it is your website and altermately you have to be happy with it.
Take this into consideration.
Template Sites that sell thier products have two prices.
Non-unique, selling the same template over and over for around $50, the chance of seeing that template on the internet is remote but not impossable, I have seen it happen on at least three occassions.
Unique, templates can and do sell upward to $4000, the template once sold in this fashion is removed from the site permenatly, never to be sold again, but how many times was it sold prior?
My templates are unique and are never sold to a second client.
Where everyone else that designs a website uses programes such as Dream Weaver, Front Page, ect I use Adobe Photoshop to design the look of your websites template and then edit in Notepad, many consider this "old school" but when you only put code in that is needed, cutting around 70% of unnessesary code, this in it self helps speed up your website loading time.
Because I "hand code" your site, when editing I'm not wasting time scouring through a mountain of un-orginised code just to change a paragraph or an image, this makes turn around time all that faster putting the changes back on your host server in a timely manner.
