About This One-Horse Operation

First Question: Who are you?

My name is Patrick Bowen, and I am a freelance graphic designer based in Whitehall, Michigan. I am a recent graduate of Whitehall High School, and I plan on staying in this area for a year or two of postsecondary work at Muskegon Community College.

While most of my friends got normal summer jobs after graduation, I took a chance and started my own business . . . pkbowen Design & Technology, LLC. It has become my goal to offer my services at a reasonable price to local individuals and businesses, which are often reluctant—or unable—to pay a large sum for a high quality website. I know several owners of area businesses, and I know that the rates of professional designers can be intimidating.

If I may say so, I am a very skilled designer. Even though I don’t have a very populated portfolio, I have the skills necessary to make an exceptional website (often better than adult designers). I look forward to working with you in the future.

Second Question: Are you effective?

Yes. A website is the only marketing tool that is available to the whole world. We make sure the whole world will want to look at it, and that anyone looking for it can find it.

Third Question: Do you charge an arm and a leg?

No way. We build our websites from scratch (just like this one), and we charge about half as much as other American design firms. Who are they kidding, charging $1300 for a website? I do the same work for $400-$700.

How can we do that? Low overhead. C'mon, I'm a high school grad who's still living with mom and dad before heading off to college. That means no office lease, low software cost (academic discount), free internet, etc. You do the math.
