Need a web site designed for free?...

Please note this is no longer available unfortunately Mitch Bryson is asking for submissions from companies or individuals who would like a small web site designed (for free). There is only one spot available and the condition is that the design process will be blogged about from start to finish by the designer. This is a good opportunity to get started with that site you have been thinking about...

Free small banners...

I created these while experimenting with some text effects. Feel free to download and use on your own site. I’m not sure how useful the current words are on these but if I get enough requests for other words or sizes etc I’ll make...

Web Design Styles History...

Site update...

If you have visited this site before you may have noticed that many things have been changed.
