Service

Even though Creative Gray Matter is a small studio, our clients can expect the same level of quality, communication, service and support that the larger firms provide yet at a fraction of a cost. When you work with Creative Gray Matter part of your cost doesn't go to paying the five designers who never touched your site. Creative Gray Matter is able to keep the costs low while providing the highest level of service because we can pick and choose our clients. That means that the clients who we are working with, gain our full attention until the work is completed and beyond.

Several reasons not to hire us
  1. You do not think your business needs a website.

    You think the Internet fad will most likely fade away and people who spent money on websites would have been better burning it for warmth. Let your competitors spend the money and time to develop their sites, it's not going to last.

  2. You want a site that looks like all the rest and was built using a template.

    You don't care if your site is not original, does not work in all browsers, and will likely turn potential customers away from your business. It is cheaper and faster to build and that is what matters.

  3. You have never used the internet.

    You are sure that because you do not use the internet to research businesses or products, or even find a new place to go out for dinner, that your customers or anyone else looking for information does not either.

  4. You do not need more money.

    You already have all the business you can handle and by increasing the customer awareness of your business or by selling more products, your company will buckle under the extra weight.

  5. Another company said they could do it for less.

    You got an amazing offer from another company to build your site. So what if they are overseas or do not program with standards, accessibility, or the future in mind. The deal is so great, that having to hire another company to redesign your site again in four months is worth it.

  6. You know more about design and web development than Creative Gray Matter.

    You already know exactly what your site should look like and do not want to listen to the opinions of professionals. If pink colored font on a green background is what you want then hiring Creative Gray Matter is unnecessary.

  7. You found cheap hosting elsewhere.

    While hosting with Creative Gray Matter on a clustered network that is fast and reliable has it's bonuses, the price is too high and you don't care about support. You have lots of time to spare during the business day to try and get ahold of tech support from your discount hosting when your website does not work. You also know all about security, DNS, and email servers.

  8. You know all there is to know about XHTML and CSS.

    Managing and updating a website is easy. You know all there is to know about programing for the internet and can make changes to your website with ease.
