About

My name is Elaine Biss. As a trained commercial artist, I was trained to use art to communicate feeling and evoke passion. Web design seemed like the natural step after taking my skills into the computer. Creating sites and being part of businesses in the beginning stages brings me great joy, but more so to see them succeed.

Amidst a sea of confusion, you can be confident you have a trained professional dedicated to your success. Hiring me will get you a well versed, experienced couture web designer.
