Who We Are

Our Mission: This company was started 7 years ago with one purpose: to provide agency-quality design for small-business budgets. Our specialty is creative interfaces that engage the user with eye-catching graphics and efficient, easy-to-use functionality.

We create search engine-friendly, standards and accessibility-compliant websites using the most up-to-date software and coding practices. We bring 16+ years of expertise to the table so we can be as technical as necessary, while always remaining down-to-earth and approachable.

Wizzy Wig is a small network of independent designers and programmers that work together to be able to offer you more than we would be able to provide alone.

Your primary contact is Barbara, Wizzy Wig's founder and senior designer. I have my BFA in graphic design with an emphasis on animation & interactive media and have been doing graphic & web design since 1994. (back when 48MB of RAM was a powerhouse!) I started my career working for agencies doing web and multimedia, then in 2003 I started this business. My strength is creating highly visual, creative interfaces that communicate who you are and capture the user’s attention.  I specialize in WordPress development and animation, and I also excel at making this design journey an enjoyable and collaborative one for you!

Dave is a fellow wordpress developer who helps with e-commerce and some of the hairier back-end work required.
