Web & Graphic Designer
for Small Businesses
Websites, logos and print design that make your business look established and easy to find.
I’m Craig Brinkley, a web designer and front-end developer with 25+ years of experience. I design and build custom WordPress websites, logos and print materials for small businesses, artists and entertainers in Virginia and nationwide. Every site I build is mobile-friendly, fast, and set up with SEO and accessibility best practices, so more people can find it and use it.

My Design Process
Six clear steps, so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
Discovery Call
We meet by phone, video or in person to talk about your business, your goals and what you need.
Project Agreement
You get a written agreement with the scope, timeline, cost and who is responsible for what. No surprises.
Design Preview
I create a mockup in Photoshop, Illustrator or Figma so you can see the design and request changes before anything is built.
Build
I design and develop the final product, keeping you updated along the way.
Review and Approval
You review the finished work and request any final adjustments before sign-off.
Launch and Delivery
Your website goes live or your final files are delivered, ready to use.
Why Work With Me
Design and development from one person, so your project stays consistent from first sketch to launch.
25+ Years of Experience
Freelance design since 2000, plus years of in-house work for companies like Trader Interactive.
Designer and Developer
I design it and I build it, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the live site.
SEO and Accessibility Built In
Every site gets clean page titles, descriptions, alt text and accessible layouts from day one.
Sites You Can Update
Built on WordPress, so you can change text and images yourself without calling a developer.
