Mark Bradley Design has been in existence since September of 1993. It's a growing company with seven employees: an art director, a designer, an HTML tagger, a salesperson, a secretary, a part-time bookkeeper, and a part-time janitor. All the employees are highly qualified, with many years of experience between them.

It can sometimes be confusing when you call the office; by a strange twist of fate, all of the employees go by the same name. Mark Bradley.

All right, you had to find out sooner or later. It's just me with a lot of different hats.

That doesn't mean your job is too big for me. When necessary, I will hire subcontractors to help out and make sure deadlines are met. Whether I do the work myself or hire it done, you can be sure that it will always be done to the same high standards.

• Always quick, but never "quick and dirty."
• HTML code will always validate. It's important to me that as many people as possible are able to visit your site.
• I strive to make your web pages look good in any browser. Images will always have alternative text for those with text-only browsers or with images turned off. If frames or other extended mark-up are necessary or desired, the price I quote will include alternative pages.
• Prices quoted for web sites always include posting to search engines.
• I always design web pages with bandwidth in mind. I hate slow loading pages, and so will your customers. (Sometimes compromises are necessary, of course. If someone can tell me how to post an online graphics portfolio without a lot ofgraphics, I'd sure like to hear about it.)

If you are looking for web design work, it doesn't really matter where you are located (isn't the web great?). I am currently accepting print graphics jobs only from clients in the Sacramento, Chico, and Marysville/Yuba City, California area. If you have a business in Hawaii, Tahiti, the Bahamas, or somewhere similar and are willing to pay travel expenses, you might be able to talk me out of that restriction. 8^)

How I Work
Here is a typical scenario of the process that might be involved in doing a web design job for your business. The process is similar, but with different details, for print graphics.

1. You send me a request for a proposal.
2. I contact you and discuss the job, deadlines, budget restraints, etc.
3. I work up a price and formal contract and present it to you.
4. If the contract is acceptable to you, we sign it and you pay the deposit. If the contract is totally unacceptable, you say "thanks, but no thanks." If the proposal is generally acceptable but you have a problem with part of it, talk to me. We can probably work it out to everyone's satisfaction.
5. Once I have received the deposit, I work on the site design and layout, posting work in progress to a work area on my web site where you can check it as it progresses.
6. Once you have approved the basic layout and design, I begin work on the actual production of the site, filling in content, links, graphics, etc. Depending on the time frame and size of the job, there may be additional payments due during this process.
7. When the site is done, you approve it and make final payment. I ftp it to your URL and post the URL to the search engines.
