"I first worked with Chad in October of 1999. We had a situation where we had to clean up the work of another artist, and Chad redesigned the entire site. The original artwork he drew for that site is framed and in a place of honor on my desk. We've had Chad redesign our website two times more since that, and in 2002 it's really more like five times -- he designed every one of our changable color 'themes' this year for registered users. Last year he created a navigational design so compelling that many of our readers had his symbols tattooed on their bodies.

Chad always puts out high quality work, and responds well to feedback. His ability to work in different media has served me well -- he has designed promotional postcards for various ventures, t-shirts, stickers, presentation covers and business cards for us. Whenever I need a design job done, Chad is always the first person I think of.

I feel very lucky and privileged to have original artwork by Chad in my house, and I look forward to working with him in years to come."

Sinister Visions inc. has been involved in the graphic arts, in one form or another, since 1987. We offer the following services individually, but consider the possibilities of combining them, as well...

INTERNET

Sinister Visions inc. has over 10 years' experience in website design, implimentation and hosting. If you're looking to make your big entrance onto the Web, or you think it's time to overhaul your existing site, we can do the following for you, your company or your organization:

• Assist with effective domain name selection and webhosting. Click here to learn more about hosting your site with Sinister Visions inc.!
  Your success on the internet begins with your domain name, and it's critical to choose something that will (a) be easy for your potential site visitors to remember/fined and (b) improve your search engine rankings.
• Create realistic website goals based on timeframe, budget and market.
  You don't have to be rich to have a great website, and not every website has to have the latest bells & whistles to be effective. Sinister Visions inc. will work with your budget and needs to deliver the best site possible (and hey, if you want bells & whistles, no problem!)
• Design, create, develop, code and deploy the site.
  No templates, no pre-fab designs, no assembly-line design. Sinister Visions inc. custom-creates every website produced, designed around your site's idea, business or theme.
• Insure compatability with different browsers and computer platforms.
  There's no point in having a great website that only works in one kind of browser. Sinister Visions inc. uses industry-approved CSS design methods for all websites designed.
• Employ current web technologies like javascript, Flash, DHTML, etc., ONLY IN CASES WHERE THEY ARE WARRANTED AND BENEFIT YOUR SITE.
  Sinister Visions inc. uses web technology judiciously, period. We don't create 100% Flash-based sites as a rule for a number or reasons having to do with website ease-of-use, search engine friendliness and accessibility. For more on this topic, see the article Chad Savage wrote for Haunted Attraction Magazine HERE.
• Promote and market the site, including search engine placement and banner ads.
  Sinister Visions inc. can help kick-start your website's web presence by facilitating a number of link exchanges, search engine friendly coding, etc.

Not sure what you need? Contact Chad Savage and he will work with you to identify the kind of website that will benefit you most, then create it for you.
