About Mountain Creek Web Design:
Mountain Creek Web Design is a freelance web design service. I am located just outside Maryville, Tennessee, in the Great Smoky
Mountains, about 1 hour south of Knoxville. The photos at the top and bottom of this website are actual photos taken my wife in the
mountains not far from where we live.
I started designing websites over 9 years ago, mostly for family & friends. Occasionally, I would build a website for someone that needed
an online presence, either for personal reasons or small business.
One of my first professional websites was a 20 page real estate website that had so many features I called it a monster site at that time.
Some of the features included access to search the MLS, daily mortgage rates feed, mortgage applications, and featured listings. It also
included 90 reports with all kinds of real estate information that potential clients could have emailed to them. After that, I built 3 more real
estate websites and they all had a very different look and feel to them.
Since then, I've been performing freelance website designing for clients as well as myself. I've owned multiple websites myself for
different purposes, and some including online stores. Some of these websites are listed on this site. Occasionally, I'll design a website
just for the fun and creativity of it. Every website I design is done completely from scratch, including most graphics. I use 3 website
design programs for designing websites, depending on what I'm doing, and 2 graphics design programs. I personally own over a dozen
domain names and numerous affiliate sites I work with.

In 2008 I launched a new website, Link-Galaxy, which at the time was the largest website I've ever built. Link Galaxy is a free service
providing internet links and search engines to the most popular websites used today. Link-Galaxy features 48 categories of the most
popular websites, with the use of graphical links instead of text links for easier viewing & recognition. Other features includes a Top 100
Website category on the home page, 13 on-site search engines, an online store powered by Amazon, plus you can search the internet
from any page with Google & Bling search engines.
The second version of this website, which was a complete redesign, was launched in February 2009. In July 2009, I redesigned
Link-Galaxy again adding a lot more content along with a new, more streamlined, graphical interface.
In January, 2010, I redesigned LInk-Galaxy for the 4th time by completely changing the navigation system, adding more categories, and
changing the overall layout structure of my ad campaigns and utilizing rotating banners at set intervals and sizes per category.
Link-Galaxy has a unique concept unlike any website I've seen. In fact, there aren't any websites quite like it anywhere online today. The
closest website of this nature is EuropeWorld, is a top website links directory for Europe. Click the banner below for Link-Galaxy.

The largest website I've built so far is a 259 page website with some very unique features to it.
When I design websites, I keep track of what I've done by creating a scoreboard for each
website I build. When I've completed a website, I merge that information into another scoreboard
I call my stats sheet. This allows me to show at a glance and to help keep track of what I've done
on each website. I calculate how many pages each website has, how many photos/graphics,
website links, ads/banners, songs, videos, search engines, and the dates each one is updated. I
also total out each category for a grand total of all the work I've done. This little extra step I take
can be very tedious and time consuming but I consider it to be a major part of what I do as a
website designer. I am a very detailed-oriented person with a strong belief that "organization is
the key to any successful business". My current hosting stats are shown here.
