About.
HELLO! NEIL ROSEKRANS HERE.
I’ve been designing websites since 2009 for a wide range of clients, from country music outlaw David Allen Coe to an El Salvador senatorial candidate…but mostly just small businesses looking to get established online.
I actually got my start in website design as a political blogger. In 2009, I started a website called StateBrief that covered Arizona politics. The website had a good two-year stretch and opened the door to some on-air pundit opportunities, including appearances on our local NBC Sunday Square-Off roundtable and on Fox News radio. But monetization was ultimately necessary so the blogging soon turned into political website design and then web design generally.
After saving enough money in my daytime job, I jumped into website design full-time in 2014. Today I work mostly with small businesses and individuals that want to establish a professional and effective online presence. This includes branding, creating e-commerce solutions, managing pay-per-click campaigns and other activities that help my clients reach their online objectives.
I have a MBA and a Master of Public Policy from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University. My wife, Beth, and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona.

DETAILS MATTER.
Website design is a competitive field. There’s really no barrier to entry and degrees are more or less meaningless. Despite the abundance of freelancers and international designers, I have built a solid business based on referrals and quality of work.
DESIGN
If I’m honest, my first websites were pretty bad. But I challenge myself with each project to make it better than the last. Good design requires both practice and keeping current with the latest trends.
FUNCTIONALITY
Each client is unique and has different online needs. A key value I provide is identifying and implementing the right solution for the client.
COLLABORATION
I’m a one-man show and I’d be short-changing my clients if I tried to do it all. It’s better to team up with specialists in other areas and deliver a superior product to the client. I work with some of the best graphic designers, copywriters and SEOs.
