Fast Smart Web Design creates websites and consults on website design for
non-profits, small businesses, faith-based organizations, artists, and schools.
We can also show you how to maintain your own site.
We can fix
your website or create a new one: Many first websites are
set up for free. However, once you outgrow the free website, who's available
to update it? Fast Smart Web Design can help.
 Fast
Smart Web Design revised the Tug
Pegasus Restoration Project website and currently maintains it. Read
how the revision was done...

| We
also consult: Some customers just need help talking to their hosting
sites or designers.
 Laura,
who developed and offers the anti-bullying S.A.R.A.
workshops in the New York area, had spent hundreds of dollars getting
a Wordpress blog customized and linked to a pre-existing site. However,
the designer, a moonlighting IT employee at an organization where Laura
worked, didn't have time to support the different components — Wordpress
plus outsourced template plus pre-existing site — and walked away
from the project.
This became a serious problem when the hosting service, which provided
no way to contact them, turned off the site without warning.
Laura hired us to solve the problem. We suggested she move the
site and domain name to a more professional host, and we made sure the
process went smoothly. |
We can help you maintain
your own website: What do you do if your original designer
disappears and you have no way to change your site? Fast Smart Web Design
is happy to help.
Unitarian
Universalist Church of Staten Island: Church members keep the site

designed to help you ask the right questions and make the right decisions
before you hire a designer or programmer.
