Please, more websites like this one…

Over on GardenRant I’ve been - well, ranting about design websites that are visually boring, hard to
navigate, or fail to provide the necessary info in a readable way. So my buddy Erik Anderson tells me to check out the site he and his company launched like two days ago; I did and I say WOW. Now it wasn’t cheap ($6,000 for the site itself, $4,000 for the photos) but for an architectural firm or any other design-related or visual business, isn’t it worth it? My only suggestion was that he add some info about their staff, including himself, coz if you’ve got great credentials, I say flaunt ‘em. [His would include a degree in restoration from Columbia's School of Architecture, a bunch of experience, and his recent election to the board of Historic Takoma - lucky them!]
So congrats to local restoration leader Worcester Eisenbrandt, Inc. on their wowzer of a site, designed by Single Chair. Landscape architects, listen up!

Id say it was cheap. We see web sites that go north of $50K regularly in my business. Just the nature of the beast. Expecting more for less than 6k is ridiculous.

Susan,
Thanks for the pointer to this elegant site, and even more thanks for the disclosure about costs. It helps to know what people are paying for good design work. So much — too much — of the money part of websites/blogs remains mysterious.
Good wishes,
Julie
