Joshua Connor’s Experience

Owner
GrindColorDesign (Self-employed)
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Design industry)
August 2006 — Present (3 years)
I am a freelance Website Designer whom caters to small and medium sized businesses who need a effective website that is also cost effective. I do mostly service oriented websites, but will listen to any idea, be it e-commerce or something else. What makes me different is that you work directly with the designer (me) so that together we build the best website with your style and business goals in mind. I have package deals that usually work for most businesses that are set to your needs. Website changes and consulting services are also available.
