WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ME
If you would like a custom-designed author website, Mark is your best choice. He doesn't use templates, and you aren't locked into pricey third-party add-ons. He is an absolute professional and also has an eye for design. Always polite, punctual and responsive, I found that I could bounce ideas off him and he will give you his honest opinion and work with you to find the best way to make your ideas appear in the virtual space that is 100% yours! I wanted the cover of my debut sci-fi book, THE WATCHERS, to be the home page for my author site. Mark worked his magic and viola, a visual feast with the ability to scroll! Mark is the quintessential quiet achiever; someone clever and knowledgeable you can trust to design an original site.
