All-in-One Website Shop

Located in Watertown, Wisconsin, Digital Mouse Designs has been developing web sites since 1996. Over the years I’ve built a working relationship with several talented web designers and programmers which allows me to offer you complete, custom, one-stop web site design and development services.

We’ll Help YOU Make YOUR First Impressions Count!

You don’t get a second chance to make a memorable first impression which is why its so important that your website be the best it can be. No matter what your product or service, competition is at an all time high and getting your foot in the customer’s door is harder than it’s ever been in our lifetime.

Every website I design is custom fit to you and your business. You’re unique. Your business is unique. Whether your website is custom built or customized it must be “unique to you”. Even if your product is one of a hundred similar products, it doesn’t have to look like it. A custom design website will help your services, your products and your business stand out from the rest and help you build your business through your own unique-ness.

Common Sense Web Design for YOUR Products and Services

I design websites based on a common sense approach. Should your site be attractive and eye-pleasing? Absolutely! But the site-look should not detract from your product or what you have to say. It’s crucial that your content is what keeps the customer’s attention! If they’re to busy looking at the eye candy and playing with the bells and whistles, they’re not paying attention to your product or services. Distractions keep people from pursuing the reason they came to your site in the first place.

Whether you need a small brochure site or a major e-Commerce production — making it easy for your audience to find what they’re looking for can make all the difference in the world.

I recently received an inquiry from someone who’d found and read my Who Owns My Website? article. Concerned that she may not own her website, she asked for some guidance.
