Dear Community,

We (Tom and Rob) are established artists with almost 30 years real world experience behind us. Tom has been a major player in the advertising industry for almost fifteen years and has designed many logos for banks, companies and individuals. He is a first grade artist and concept designer and has strong web skills. He can also design an ad campaign that will match your selling product.

I have been an artist for ten years and between us we are offering the very best full flash sites, logos, 2D work, 3D work and more at very competitive rates. Please contact us for graphic art, logo design and website work (including FULL flash sites!). You can check us both out when you email us, and between us we'll get your job done!

A logo company will often rip you off - we've seen this happen where they have given two clients the same logo! not with us. For $100, you're having something custom designed by professionals which doesn't exist elsewhere in the entire world. Entirely owned by you.

A full flash website is £500 PER PAGE, we charge way less than that for the entire site. Enquire if you are interested and want examples at work@puzbox.com

We don't ask for money up front, only that you are serious and agree to the price beforehand. So therefore, only serious offers are considered. When you are satisfied, then you pay. We have already done plenty of work for blitzers however the time has come for us to expand the business.

If your sales are poor, consider a marketing and design campaign by us, including website, logos and more. Your shop window can look as good as AAA companies online.

Portfolios and website examples on request. In the meantime we are creating a major portfolio site so please contact us if you want work done now. Alex on these forums was the first to hire us and from what I hear he is very happy.

Why would you want to hide your portfolio behind an email wall? Just curious as it seems like the exact wrong thing to do.

£500 is a lot of money per page, and you don't always need Flash - in fact, it's been proven that Flash websites are not good for search engine rankings.

In many cases, you can get a whole website for near enough to £500.

What about your game? What happened to that project? And how about some non-email examples?

No offence, but those websites dont really look that good. I wouldnt pay much for them at all. Especially the Villa Romanca one, it looks liek it was put together in frontpage with the library graphics.

Thanks adrian :) I have been charging those prices for many years now though. Those are benchmark prices, ie, we don't go much higher but often go a lot lower. All depends on what someone wants.

You quickly learn that what you personally like isn't what the customer actually wants when it comes to websites. Remember, html costs less than flash.

Another thing with that site (whats interesting to non-artists) is that ALL the content is dynamic. That is, he can actually by editing a text file, control the entire site. That actually costs quite a bit to add due to how long it takes to set up. Also all the graphics and animation too. I think that one was less than between £300 and £400. Bargain, really. I have no idea how much the tobago one was. Couldn't have been much I don't think. But you have to remember you're paying for all the graphics as well as the html/flash.

You are wrong about search engines as all our flash text is dynamic

You are wrong. Unless the text is on the page the search engine can't find it. 'All Flash' websites have to be the worst thing ever. There is a reason the most popular sites in the world use little to no flash. Flash is great when used properly (games or other features not possible with html) but using flash for the sake of it is daft and will cot you in search engine ranking and users.

That is, he can actually by editing a text file, control the entire site. That actually costs quite a bit to add due to how long it takes to set up

Once you know how to do it that takes about ten minutes per site, if that.

I've seen your art sine the days of db so know you can do cool stuff but I don't think websites are the way forward

Cool, my logo is one of the examples! :) nice.

One of the best in the collection BTW! I really liked how simple and orginal was the decision for this one.
Following by portfolio logos are really your best skill Robert!

Thats one of Tom's logos, can't take credit for that :) He does lots of advertising work so I think that really shows in the final simple logo.

We work together on projects so if you're interested in more of Tom's work, please give him a shout on tom@tomtilby.com or work@puzbox.com - thanks :)

I just wanted to publically announce that I have used Rob for my current project and I'm more than pleased with the results! For the following reasons:

1) Artwork designed exactly to specifications
2) Rob replied to every email within 12 hours, much sooner mostly!
3) Rob's work is professional, and high quality!
4) Rob finished the project within days!
5) Rob did not require money until the project was complete!
6) Rob charged me around 50% to 65% less than MOST people's offers (although there WERE a few that charged less, their portfolio's weren't as impressive)

Thank you Rob! :D I'm fully pleased, and you can use this as a testimonial if needed :)
