Why choose Shortwave?

Well, there's many reasons why Shortwave might be right for you, but here's just a few off the top of our heads:

  1. We'll host your site. (New!)

    Shortwave is proud to announce our new Hosting Plan! Now with every site, you can choose to host with us for even quicker support and an unbeatable price!

    (It's a win-win!)

  2. It's fresh.

    We keep up on design trends and implement the most recent technologies into every design.

    (We also make sure all those fancy things work on older browsers, too!)

  3. We have really good support.

    We offer a very fast response time to all issues - usually same day - and stand by our work.

    (We use the same process and similar design rules for every design, so support is fast - if it's even needed.)

  4. We design smart.

    In keeping with our philosophy of using modern design, we only use valid, 100% tested code.

    (If you need a site that can be read by screen readers, or on something obscure like a four-year old smartphone, all of our designs will usually support these and others - automatically!)

  5. Full service.

    Shortwave Design is a small company; we treat every one of our customers with equal and complete, 24-hour support and individualized attention.

    (Yes, 24-hours - we check our email obsessively.)

...and last but not least...

  1. It's cheap.

    Shortwave Design is not run by professionals, but students. Therefore, we can't ask you to pay as much as they would - but in most cases, we are just as good of a choice for your freelance website design needs.

    (So, you save money - lots of money - for a product that offers all of what you've already read!)

Okay, I've heard enough...where can I see your work?

To help you make a decision, we offer a portfolio page...check it out, we're proud of it! Note: The SWDesign portfolio is just our webdesign content! We have the ability and resources to create numerous types of rich media. Just ask!
