Chime provides a variety of web site design services ranging from simple and quick site creation to complete architecture, design, and back end technology integration. Design is typically combined with other services (technology, digital strategy, hosting, video, webcasting, etc) and as a result some of these areas are also touched upon in the following descriptions. All work is always done in close coordination with the client, taking into account any existing logos, color schemes, fonts, and ideas they may have.

Note: This page hasn't been updated since 2007. For recent clients and sites view the home page.
