Steve McKinnis’s Summary
I am a web designer and graphic artist. I create custom designed web sites as well as fix, update and alter existing template sites. If you are unsure as to why your site may not be coming up on Google, Yahoo and MSN or any search engine for that matter, it may be because you have no meta tags, bad flash entry pages or a lot of dead and corrupted links. I also photograph, create original logos, draw (technically and creatively) and can make your site truly reflect you, your product or your directive. You can see samples at stevemckinnis.com. Some recent site works: http://www.splashh2o.com, http://www.bollotta.com, http://www.gotmemassage.com as well as a host of others. I administer over 25 sites on a regular monthly basis.
