Design &
Web Development

Development and promotion of small business websites. Cultural, music and arts-related sites a specialty. Established in Mississippi in 2002.

With a background that spans advertising, music production and computers, award-winning designer Ken Davies and his associates have developed and promoted some of the best known and most respected small business musician websites in the world. We understand the real internet and that effective online communication involves more than a little HTML assembly or pseudo impressive "technology." 

The right image for your business
We specialize first in understanding your promotional needs. From that, we can design affordable, effective, well-written sites that meet the image and objectives of small businesses, non-profit organizations, professionals and individuals. We can attractively utilize text, art, graphics, sound, music, layout and forms in ways that keep your image and message focused without being lost in the maze of technological flashiness for it's own sake.

Music and Cultural Arts web works
Arts related websites present a special challenge. It takes a creative spirit to understand your creative spirit. Our experience in all aspects of the music field and many arts fields makes us able to recognize differentiation in styles, objectives, images and aims and present a site that enhances  your creative talent to the fullest. In these areas, striking and memorable designs have been our hallmark. We can handle graphic manipulations of your photos or artwork and audio presentations of your recordings (mp3, Real Audio or MIDI).

    Bio

     My background is in professional music and has included professional trombone performance (10 years full-time), private and college teaching, writing about music, composing, arranging, publishing and record producing. Among all that was a lot of promotion and advertising writing work.

     I got my start on computers with Finale's industrial-strength music notation application and MIDI. In addition to preparing scores and parts in written music, I also work with Digital Performer for digital audio production.  Development, in 1997, of the Denver Musicians Association sponsored consortium site, dmamusic.org, led to extensive studies in internet promotion, design and graphic work. 

    EDUCATION:
    Master's degrees from University of Colorado at Boulder (composition) and Middle Tennessee State University at Murfreesboro (trombone). Bachelor's degree from University of Wisconsin at Madison. Additional studies at Yale University (music).
