about Design By Joyce
Design By Joyce is a high energy, positive and enthusiastic small business that really cares about reputation and the quality of work. Design By Joyce strives to create the website that meets your needs at a reasonable cost, quickly and on schedule, whether your project is a new site or existing pages in need of a facelift.
design philosophy
We build sites that are simple and clean, yet balanced and beautiful. The site navigation must be clear and easy to use. The purpose of your website should be easily recognized. Graphics are not overused, but chosen to enhance the content or emphasize a point. We help clients work keywords and titles into their pages for better search engine results. We aim to please and work with you and your suggestions until we have an entire website that satisfies both of us.

Human Calendar
about Joyce
I was born a Buckeye but grew up in the towns of Speedway and Muncie, Indiana. I battled winters long enough to graduate from Ball State University then quickly headed west to sunny Phoenix, Arizona, which has been home ever since. I've experienced backpacking, rafting down the Colorado River, hiking the Grand Canyon, visiting Indian Ruins and have enjoyed the beauty of the desert, mountains, and canyons of the Southwest.
My employment history has included investment banking, the telephone company, the airline industry including eight years with Hughes Airwest and Republic and then six years at America West Airlines, and part owner in three carwashes. I have been self-employed since 1993.
Circa 1999 I discovered an interest in computers, web design and computer graphics and taught myself basic hand-coded web design starting with the book HTML for Dummies
Soon I enrolled in a web design class at Glendale Community College and ended up staying four years to complete the Web Developer Certificate, along with other classes of interest. After working on hobby and club websites for a while, I officially founded my business as Design By Joyce in 2003.
When I'm not working at my computer, I enjoy digital photography, hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, cooking and creating healthy recipes, workouts at the gym, folk dancing, swimming, movies, walking our two rescued greyhounds, ice skating, watching American Chopper, shopping, trying out new restaurants and watching any design or fashion shows on HGTV.
I proudly completed Grand Canyon hikes in May 2006 and again in May 2007 to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and raised over $6400 for this great cause through Hike for Discovery.
I enjoy working on many web projects of my own (see the partner links below) while I continue to maintain websites for most of my past clients, and take on some new design endeavors. Thumbnail images of some of my work and ads can be seen on my portfolio page. I can be contacted via email using
