Do you want a website and you already have
everything planned out? OK - let's build
a website. Do you need help figuring out
what technology best fits your needs? OK
- let's evaluate your situation. Do you
need a hand putting together a holistic
corporate image - new logo, print collateral,
website and all? OK - let's see where you
are starting from and what best captures
the essence of your company.
I am an established freelance designer
with clients in Texas and Florida. The vast
majority of the work I do is through the
"virtual world" you see before
you. I am always happy to meet with clients
face-to-face, but I have never found physical
distance to be a problem in my working relationships.
I cut my teeth in graphic design at a full-service
marketing agency in Austin, Texas. This
invaluable experience exposed me to a wider
scope of design, showing me that a successful
website is the result of a comprehensive
marketing plan that involves strong branding,
intense planning and the art of tying a
whole image together.
I think my biggest strength comes from
my flexibility. My skill-set can be mixed
and matched to fit your needs...and if I
don't have the answers, I often have dependable
resources that do!

With my agency background, I understand
the challenges you face, and enjoy collaborating
with you on projects for your clients. I’m
aware that bringing an outside person into
your team can be sensitive.
| 5 Things I Can
Assure You: |
• |
I understand that part of my job
is to uphold the standards of your
company, and I will always do my best
to meet that challenge. |
• |
Your clients are my priority.
If your client needs me to go the
extra mile, I will always do my best
to serve them as you would. |
• |
Unless you specify otherwise,
I include you in your clients’
email correspondence - even if they
didn't originally cc: you when they
contacted me. I understand how important
it is for you to know what’s
going on with your client! |
• |
From all appearances, I should
look like part of your team, and unless
you specify to the client otherwise,
no one should guess otherwise. |
• |
My work with agencies is usually
project-based, so you know up front
what resources will be allocated to
my services, and what the payment
schedule will be. I can bid a project
based on your specifications, so you
have numbers in hand to present to
a client. |

You need a website or other design services
and you don't know where to turn...heck,
you might not even know what to ask for!
That's OK - that's why companies often look
outside of their own ranks to get help with
their web presence or other marketing endeavors.
It's my job to help you figure out what
you need, and deliver it in a way that meets
your goals.
My aim is to create designs that reflect
the true spirit of your company. I understand
budget constraints and will go out of my
way to help you correctly identify "essentials"
and cut corners, even if it means directing
resources away from my own pocket. However,
the one thing I cannot do is design a custom
website for you for $500. Unfortunately,
I don't currently offer templates for websites,
and the time I invest to create a custom
design and turn it into a fully functional,
populated site usually runs upwards of $1000
for a basic site. If this discourages you,
I can suggest a few high-quality resources
for websites under $1000 and if you contact
me, I would be happy to share them with
you.
| 5 Things I Can
Assure You: |
• |
You don't need to know anything
about how to build a good website.
I will guide you through the steps
to decide what best suits your needs,
and then work with you to gather the
information necessary to make it happen. |
• |
There will be no surprises. You
will know up front what my services
cost and what you will get in return
for that fee. Unless your project
changes scope, there will be no question
marks in the equation. |
• |
Communication will be a cornerstone
of our business relationship. I will
come to you with concerns in an honest
and respectful way, and you will always
know the status of your project. |
• |
I will give you my best effort,
and if you give me yours, the project
will be overwhelmingly successful.
|
• |
If I need to bring other resources
into your project, they will be trustworthy,
talented professionals who will take
the time to listen to what you really
need. |

Need some reassurance? Don't take my word
for it - this is what my clients have to
say:
| Belen has that rare quality in
a contractor — the ability to
read minds! Seriously though, Belen
takes a project and runs with it.
I always know I can turn to her for
great quality design, on-time delivery,
and conscientious work. She's an independent
thinker who anticipates end-client
reactions, and really gets the job
done — and done right. She's
the one we can turn to when things
get sticky. Great design and a head
for business — who could ask
for more?

New customers, potential employees,
and the curious call me daily because
they found my company on the internet.
They tell me they are impressed with
our web site, and I love it. Belen
held my hand through the process of
gathering the information to build
our web site. She took the time to
thoroughly understand my business
so that those who view our site can
easily understand us too."
