About Birdwing Designs

We like to think of ourselves as being in the business of website mid-wifery. Sometimes a website is more than just a website. It's a labor of love, from inception to birth, taking vision to form, concept to presence. You learn more about how you want to be seen in the world, what your message is, how you want to be engaged and what defines success.

Our team has the experience to walk you through the process with as much or little help as you need. We can help solidify your vision into a plan, and inform your vision by showing you what tools are available to best support your goals.

With more than a decade of experience, Owner Lisa Goettel and her team have the technical knowledge, the skills and the project life-cycle process know-how down pat. From here we can focus on the fun part - tailoring each to match your unique needs, aesthetic and vision.

Above all we value the spirit of service. We can't wait to help the world see the best of you.

Technologies

All our websites are built and tested according to the highest industry-standards, using only valid and browser-tested CSS & XHTML code. This ensures your site is flexible, accessible and will look great for years to come, even through changing technologies. We integrate our sites with the best content management systems available, making updates to your website as easy as editing a word processing document. You will never be dependent on proprietary systems or expensive technical help in order for your site to work - and when you do want help, responsive support is here.
