Pacific Zen Design
Spokane Based Web Design and Development
for Small Businesses and Individuals
We get that and we can help. Small investments, big returns. What a concept.
“Do one thing, and do it well.”
We build small business websites and personal websites. Our designs are beautiful and eye-catching. Our code is clean, valid, and standards-compliant. We think about what's best for you and your customers. We want the Internet to be a better place, and that's why we do what we do. That's also why it's the only thing we do. So what do you do?
“From humble beginnings.”
We've been designing and building websites since 1995. That's 17 years of experience in a field that's been around for roughly as long. We got in, as they say, on the ground floor. Our beginnings were humble, but full of promise. We've seen trends come and go, but we've always strived to stay ahead of the curve.
After working in a field for 17 years, it might be tempting to some to become complacent. To rest on laurels. To stick with a formula. We've been doing just the opposite. With every project, we stretch ourselves. The web has come a long way since 1995. So have we. Do you want to be a part of the journey?
“The best of both worlds.”
You have ideas, passion, and an entrepreneurial spirit. You want a design that reflects everything that makes you and your business stand apart. You want your website to stand apart. That's where we come in.
We use the Internet too, so we know what it's like out there. We've used websites that looked great, but lacked information. We've used websites that were full of information, but looked awful. Those websites were frustrating. We didn't like those websites.
Below are just a few sites in which we've had a hand. Click on the thumbnails to see more.
Our goal is to strike a balance between form and function. To find a harmony between art and information. Internet nirvana, if you will. Are you ready to reach enlightenment?
“Show me the money.”
The one question we get asked more than any other is: "How much does it cost to build a website?" The answer we give is always the same: "It depends." We'll admit that this is a frustrating answer, but there are a lot of factors to consider. We just want to make sure you pay for only what you need and nothing you don't.
So why don't we just tell people our hourly rate? Because we don't have one. We believe that hourly rates encourage dishonesty and laziness. We aren't dishonest or lazy, so we prefer per-project pricing. Tell us what you want and we'll tell you how much it's going to cost. That way there are no surprises when the final bill comes. We're ready to quote you a fair price, so are you ready to tell us what you want?
“Reach out and touch someone.”
Isn't it annoying when all you want is a quote and you're forced to fill out an enormous form that asks you everything short of what you had for breakfast? We sure do. That's why our form only asks you for three things: Your name, your e-mail address, and a message.
So what should your message include? Pretty much whatever you want, although a description of the website you want us to build would be more useful than, say, your favorite recipe (although, we we're never disappointed by good recipes).
