How Little Fish Studios Got Its Name
“Is it because you’re a ‘little fish in a big pond’?”
With over 800 million websites now in existence, and thousands of web designers available, that’s a good guess… but not why we’re called Little Fish Studios Web Design.
In 1996 my husband and I built a site for the now-famous Ferrin Contemporary (Gallery) (his dad was a partner), one of the first galleries to be online. We needed a name to put in the copyright for our first website. We looked around our apartment, saw the fish tank, added the Mac fish icon, and Little Fish Studios Web Design was born.
In a time of 28k dial-up modems, good content and relevant links to and from your site was how you gained popularity and success. As much as the Internet has changed, those basic rules still apply, no matter how big a fish you are.
We believe that a web site is not a stand-alone piece of collateral, like a brochure; it is the center of your on-going marketing strategy. Not only do you get a web site, but a comprehensive web presence for your business, with a strategy to convert browsers to buyers, visitors to fans. In addition, you are guided through the design and promotion process of your web site, helping you become a more web savvy entrepreneur and marketer.
From the beginning, we have been, not just designers, but web marketing strategists, helping businesses like yours see a return on their investment.
Since 1997, Little Fish Studios has created custom websites that are simple, elegant, and informative, pleasing clients, visitors and search engines alike. Our web sites are as diverse as the businesses and clients they promote, each crafted to meet specific needs and tastes. We are a dynamic web design and strategy company that scales itself to best serve our clients.
