We will analyze your existing Website upon request and discuss with you what's necessary to give it a nice facelift, bring the site up to a professional standard, or completely redesign it.

Site design is a blend of art and science, and by browsing the Web briefly you can see the amazing number of ways there are to get information across on the Internet. Keens Design has a strong interest in website standardization; that is, helping Websites become easier and faster for people to use. Sort of like how newspapers and television are simple and instinctive for you to use. Once in a while, Websites get designed that fall short in one area or another, and they can be improved.

Upgrading a Website is usually less expensive than starting from scratch. For do-it-yourselfers, just request a written report, and it's yours at the regular hourly fee, or work with Keens Design as a coach and learn to improve and upgrade the site yourself.
