So, you've started a business and you need a website. You connect with a digital agency located in your area, and you're lured in by their expansive array of services, team of project managers, and the modern-yet-retro decor in their studio. And that conference table is made from reclaimed wood! You spend weeks talking to them before finally getting a quote that is five times higher than your budget.

I help businesses put their best foot forward on the web and beyond, taking a comprehensive approach in building personal and impactful brand identities.
A good website is not created by purchasing a template and slapping your company logo onto it. A good website is custom designed and crafted to stand out in a crowded industry and speak effectively to your target audience.
I have over fifteen years of experience developing high-quality complex web applications as well as sites driven by open-source content management systems.
East 3rd Creative breathed new life into our dying website and did so well ahead of schedule and without a single glitch. Dave kept us in the loop every step of the way and always made himself available for our constant questions. We plan on continuing our working relationship with Dave for as long as we can and would recommend him and his extensive expertise to anyone and everyone in search of a website guru.
East 3rd Creative has now worked on design and branding for my 2 companies. After working with him for one company, there wasn’t anyone else I would trust to handle my personal law firm design work with. He worked on time and on budget and exceeded my expectations. Not only did he develop a few ideas that I had, he was eager to provide his own content and design. Most importantly, if something wasn’t right he wasn’t afraid to speak up without being bossy or pushy. I am consistently getting kudos for my business cards and logos, which seamlessly blend my business and personality.
When we did our first major redesign of our website, we came to Dave for his expertise in user experience, web design, and his understanding of the more complex software development aspects of what we needed. He listened to our needs and came up with a plan that made sense with our branding and vision for the future of our site. We've found him to be professional, prompt and easy to work with and look forward to working with him for future projects.
