My Philosophy

Design isn’t just about images.

Rent a Geek Mom Design doesn’t focus only on making your website pretty. Shiny new images are nice, but they aren’t worth anything if you don’t also have a pleasing layout, great typography, clear calls to action and user paths, a great structure for further SEO optimization, and accessibility – all while maintaining best practices in web development standards. Once you have all of that, you have nothing if you don’t have an easy way to maintain it and grow your site.

You should be happy.

When we finish a web design project, you should be happy. R.G.M Design strives to make sure that, well, you feel like a really geeky, really awesome Mom just helped you through whatever issue you had – whether that’s a site redesign or a training session.

Communication is key.

Emails, phone calls – there will be lots of them when you work with R.G.M Design – as there should. No project is so small that a single email & maybe a post-it note will do. We’ll have a clear design contract, a list of site requirements, and you’ll fill out a questionnaire that will help kick-start the project.

You can do it yourself.

You shouldn’t have to rely on a web designer to make copy changes to your site. You shouldn’t have to call someone to add a new widget. Through training and site administration guides, it’s a goal at Rent a Geek Mom Design that you can walk away feeling confident that you can handle the little stuff (even though can call us if you want!). WordPress is the CMS platform of choice at RGM Design, due to it’s flexibility, price (free!) and ease-of-use.  Building a site on WordPress means you can edit your page content, sidebar content, menus, and more without needing expensive, specialized software.

Let’s do this again!

The best thing about web development is seeing how a site changes and grows over time and, hopefully, being there to make sure it happens in a timely, most awesome fashion! Building & maintaining a relationship with every client through social media, communication and business networks is part how Rent a Geek Mom Design stays abreast of what’s important to you (or your business).
