Especially since I can create your website fairly quickly and affordably, and then teach you how to update and maintain it, so you aren’t dependent upon me or someone else when you want to make changes. If you don’t have the time or desire to make your own changes, I’m happy to take care of that for you, and any other content needs you may have.

But what about all the dirty smoking accessories and implements people just throw away rather than clean?

Pipe Dream saw the opportunity to provide a mobile, high-tech and environmentally-sound pipe and bong cleaning service, and of course, they needed to be on the Interweb. They had a very basic static website with a sweet URL (cleanmypipe.com), but they didn’t know how to update and maintain. I created the new website around their logo, as well as a cool image of clouds and mountains they had on the old site.
