Web/Blog Design, Setup & Maintenance

I believe that good web design should be affordable and accessible to everyone. Not everyone can spend thousands of dollars on a dynamic, functional and stylish web site, and with The Task Wrangler, you don't have to.  I specialize in building attractive blogs and web pages for independent artists, photographers, writers and small business owners --people who haven't yet made their fortunes.

Whether you need to build a new web site from scratch, overhaul an old one, or just need some extra help making your blog look good, the Task Wrangler is on the job. Services range from something as small as installing a widget on your blog all the way up to designing, building, implementing and maintaining an entire web site. No task is too big or too small, and I offer options to fit every budget. Simply fill out this form (you'll have to enable pop-ups) to request a service quote, and one will be provided within 24 hours.
