About
...where out-of-the-box design ideas become powerful business solutions!
Our ideas are out-of-the-box, but our methods and focus are traditional. They can all be summed up in the following two paragraphs:
End-User Driven
Instead of insulting you with some long-winded sales pitch (which we all hate) or spitting out a bunch of tech-jargon (which you may not understand), we will just state our design strategy for everything we create... We build websites for the end-users (your clients/customers/patients/members/etc.), not our clients. Being end-user centric forces designers to do one thing and only one thing, build websites correctly. This means building beautiful, user-friendly websites with simple, clean, and standards-oriented methods/code.
Client Driven
Being responsible to the end-user is just the first part of our equation. The second part is being responsible to you, the client. Our approach in the way we handle our clients is simple, we strive to forge business relationships with quality, responsibility, and reliability. We begin this process by building the client a website that will help them promote their business and make more money. Once the website is complete, we continue this relationship with expert Web consulting and responsible planning.

Feedback
Client Testimonials & Feedback
Below you will find some incredibly generous testimonials, from some of our past and ongoing clients, written about SDMedia.co. Feel free to click on the orange UP/DOWN arrows to scroll through the testimonials. In addition, we have provided links to the clients' sites.
“Our website had not been updated since the late nineties, so we contracted with Smiling Doug Media for a complete overhaul. Despite the extraordinarily large amount of content we carry, SDM devised a clean, fast, smoking hot site that our 2,000+ members now visit daily. And considering the amount of money we were wasting on inefficiencies, the website will actually pay for itself within a matter of years. I cannot stress enough how impressed I have been with both the design quality and work ethic this company possesses.”

“We wanted a Web design firm that could provide outstanding service and quick turnaround time at a fair price. With Smiling Doug Media, we found all of these qualities and more. The staff was very responsive to all of our design needs and took the time to learn our business model. They were able to make changes to the project and offer guidance instantly when called upon. Due to the high operational tempo of our organization, we are a very demanding client, and Smiling Doug Media delivered promptly at every phase of our website design without reservation. Smiling Doug Media's creative design team has also been an instrumental partner to our marketing department. Smiling Doug Media has exceeded all of my expectations, and I highly recommend them to any business.”

“I've used Smiling Doug Media for two websites and I've found the service second to none. Doug is always available for questions and updates. On the second sight, we were on the first page of google results using our keywords the first week after launch. I have recommended Doug to several colleagues and I will continue to do so. Thanks for the hard work Doug!”

“Like their website says, "Quality and Service is the First Priority". I have been very happy with the site he built my business and his continued service.”

“As an artist with very specific ideas about not only my own work but others, I can be difficult to work for. Doug heard all of my ideas, understood my style, and created a product better than I'd have done for myself, all with an unbelievable amount of patience. I wanted Clean and Simple. S.D.M. delivered Clean and Simple, with Style.”

“I just wanted to take the time to let you know how pleased we've been with the services of Smiling Doug Media. They designed our DDS website, logo, business cards, etc. Their work is always professional and prompt. Anytime that we've mentioned any changes, they have taken care of them immediately. I'm very excited about our new look and the quick results we've seen already from our new professional website. I would highly recommend their services.”

“Doug Brown with Smiling Doug Media has been a pleasure to work with. He rebuilt my site from the ground up, and I now use him for all updates. I've always been pleased with the quick response time and the integrity with which he conducts his work. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone in need of his services.”

“When we first met with Doug to discuss our website, we brought with us only the concept of what we wanted to get across to our visitors and a scratch pad of scattered ideas. He took our ideas and made them come to life. When we first saw the draft, we knew he was on the same page as us...it was exactly like we had imagined. Professionally, Doug was so easy to work with and contributed such a creative edge to our site. I just don't think we could have gone anywhere else and been as excited about the outcome! The finished site is our pride and joy, and the best way to market our quality product.”
