For those that don't know us:  We are a small, yet professional, design company that will interact with you from beginning.  We pride ourselves in knowing each and every client.  You are not just another number to us.  We reply personally to all questions and concerns from our clients via email.  We want you to be involved with your website which is why we've created DIY Shoppes.  For years we've been the designer and the clients that have come to us not knowing any html have been restricted to either hiring us to maintain their site or they've had to go to a web host that offers an "easy sitebuilder" yet fails to tell them that once they design their own site - the host owns it.  They can never leave their services and take their web sites with them.  We feel that is disgusting that web hosts and designers bait and trap their clients this way. They prey on the unsuspecting WAHM (work at home moms) with words like "in stock - out of stock store!  Quick!  Easy!  Be online within minutes!"  But.... what they really should be saying is "Hurry!  Signup with us because we force you to keep hosting with us or you don't have a business online!". 

For years, we've worked on coming up with something "in the middle" to take care of those clients that really want to be "involved" in the process of their site creation and/or be able to take over it once we are done with the design process and add all their items to their cart.  It's a feeling of success when you can maintain your own site!  If you want to make a sale at 3:00 A.M., you can!   

We have been designing websites since 1998 and have the experience that you need to create an atmosphere at your website that is not only informative and easy to navigate, but pleasing to the eyes of your visitors.  Yes, there are hundreds of "web designers" online today because they think it's easy to sell a site.  Unfortunately those are the same designers that leave many clients upset and stranded when they are left with a non-functioning site.  We're here to tell you that there is a LOT more that goes into site designing than just throwing "something" up online.

Whether you are looking for a simple one page business card website, a full fledge ecommerce site, domain registration, interactive chat/business rooms or web hosting, we can do it all for you. If you want to DO IT YOURSELF - that's great!  DIY Shoppes is your answer. 

For web hosting, we recommend The Design Shoppe. We can wrap it all up into one complete package or offer each of our services ala carte. Need just a logo?  A banner designed?  Full web site creation from beginning to end?  Or do you want to DIY (do it yourself) and only have us custom create a background?  It's completely up to you!  Customization and personalization is the key to our business being successful.  We believe that your needs are the most important and will do everything possible to help make your online presence #1. 

You do not "need" us for anything except the license purchase of your DIY Shoppe and your web hosting account.  That's how simple managing a DIY Shoppe is.  With our built in basic templates, you can have your site up and running within 24 hours.  (Add a few more days if we are doing a custom creation of your template).  And the best thing?  You own your DIY Shoppe!  We do not bait our clients with "fluff words" while trapping them to stay with us.  That is why we only offer the license purchase.  This is a lifetime license and not just a lease, trial or rental.  No hidden requirements.  Try our demo and see what you think.  This is the best for those that have no experience and want to fully manage their product inventory.

Thank you for allowing us to work with you.
