Website Design
We develop highly functional websites designed to achieve the unique goals of each individual client. Whether your organization is interested in generating sales, maintaining a consistent brand image, or communicating and informing a target audience, Graphics of Distinction can help you achieve these goals through expertise and professional web design. We design with the latest web standards. Sites must resize and reformat across all devices and platforms.
Website Design
We typically begin with the client sharing links to sites they like with regard to design. We discuss what types of functions the site might have. For example, calendar events or selling a product. We ask what categories your website might have and for text content for each of those categories and pages. We can use your graphics or use our resources to design your website on a development server. With client feedback the site is finished and live.
Clients can maintain their site or retain our services for updates.

I welcome your collaboration. I’ve been helping businesses succeed in a world with seemingly overwhelming competition for the attention of an audience by creating cutting edge web and print design.

I highly recommend Mark to anyone needing online graphic design services. I’ve worked with him for a couple years on our website. He’s extremely creative and listens to his client’s needs. His work product is professional, visually appealing, and an awesome value – plus he does it quickly – pretty unheard of, in my experience.
Donna Kulawiak
Project Administrator at Tulane University
Mark and I first worked together at Eric Allen Advertising in Seattle, WA. As the Creative Director at the firm, I appreciated his ability to quickly grasp the intended graphics for a project’s audience. His penchant to create multiple approaches to a design was outstanding. Mark’s ability to polish an initial idea into a finished product was always a pleasant adventure into the possible. Now, some 20 years later, we continue to work on projects on-line. I’m still impressed.
