I can build you a great-looking custom website that is also affordable

How about adding email to your online offering?

Websites offer credibility, connection, convenience and more. They can attract clients, sell products and increase revenue.
Working with your vision, timeline and budget we will create a website that reflects your values and goals. and communicates effectively in a way unique to you and your offering.
I can show you how to add content and make changes yourself, plus provide extra help when you need it.

Weebly or Wordpress? I offer both...

Weebly sites:

Fast to build and easy to maintain
Great for people who want to take over the maintenance of their own content
Storefront and blogging extensions are available

Using Weebly I can build you a great-looking custom website at the lowest possible cost, and save you money on maintenance in the long-run.

Wordpress sites:

Are built on a more sophisticated platform.
Have more blogging features
Support database-driven pages
Also offer storefront extensions.

My background is in database design and development, so I am excited about offering truly custom applications on the Wordpress platform.

A little about me...

I have Masters degrees in Business and Education. My MBA was in marketing, but my business career focused on business systems architecture, database design and project management for major Silicon Valley corporations such as Oracle, Sun Microsystems and Lockheed, as well as with various startups. My mission is to support your goals with that same level of professionalism.

Custom email can be the perfect compliment to your website. This "push" marketing tool will not only draw more traffic to your site, but it will connect you with your audience in entirely new ways.
Depending on your goals you can promote your latest writing, display your art, advertise new products for sale, offer special discounts, promote events, send out regular blogs or videos, etc. Whatever you think would appeal to your audience.
I am pleased to announce that I now offer email automation using MailChimp.
All we need is a list of contacts and I can get you started with a personalized email campaign. As always, I will provide you with just the right amount of support, all the way from a simple consultation with some ideas or recommendations and maybe some help with MailChimp, to full implementation and management of your campaigns using content you provide.

Shawn commissioned this site to display her art and submit a grant request. She wanted it to be super-streamlined. Very little text -- it doesn't even have a menu! (She got the grant.)

From my clients...

I was very reluctant to initiate a website, so I am particularly grateful for Jim’s patient support as I got started. He has worked to create a website that is personally designed for my intentions and style, and I have especially appreciated his creative suggestions along the way. I am confident Jim will offer the same level of commitment to anyone working with him on a website design.

Working with Jim was a pleasure. His artistic sensibility was instrumental in achieving what I wanted for my website. He is a good listener and had some suggestions which contributed to a more engaging site than I was able to imagine for myself. When you hire someone to do a website it is a risk that they might not have the sensitivity to pick up on what you are trying to create but Jim took the time to get a sound understanding of my vision.

"Jim took my text and design ideas, gave me some helpful comments, and created two affordable websites for me. Whenever I wanted something a bit out of the ordinary, he researched possible solutions and provided me with several different options. He was very professional and helpful, and was even willing to come to my house for meetings. Thanks Jim!"
... Kate Davies

"Jim Hyde and his Professional Services of website building and creation came in very handy for me. I had a low budget at the time and I needed a website as soon as possible. Jim came in and gave me exactly that. And although it's been a couple years my website is still operational and still meets my needs. It continues to draw just the right amount of clients that I need to keep my Psychotherapy practice up and running. I highly recommend his services especially if you're on a low budget and you want the option to do some of the work yourself Jim is the guy for you."
