Chris Newton’s Summary

I own a small but talented design company. We do excellent work, and focus solely on website design. We focus on finding good work, rather than expanding our business, so taking jobs even from our favorite clients can be tough if our schedule is packed. Our small size does, however, allow us to work quickly for reasonable costs, while still delivering a quality product. Our sole goal as a business is to do great work for great people, after that, everything has a way of working itself out.
