How We Started

In 1994, we started with a brand new 486 computer, an internet connection, a background in art and technology and our first client!  At the time, most businesses didn't understand what the internet was, much less, how their business could take advantage of it. 

Thus began our passion for educating our clients in Northwest Arkansas how to best translate the internet into their successful marketing plan. 

Since that time, we have "ridden the growth wave" of Northwest Arkansas, and we continue to provide our clients with the latest technology, attractive design and an effective internet presence.  

Where We Are Going

The internet is taking over...and we love it!  We look forward to moving into the future and embracing the newest technology and services, to provide our clients the best possible internet experience.  We have big ideas and goals, and we feel we will be able to achieve these through our talent and hard work.

Who is Taking Us There

Meet the group that makes it all happen!

Working nights, Ron got a small amount of web design going way back in 1994.  By 1996, he had followed Pam to working full time and a lot of overtime for DesignWorks.  Ron keeps the entire operation in mind at all times and is always talking about websites, interactivity and promotion.  He drives a '71 Vette quickly from gas station to gas station and a red Ford pickup to his favorite secret fishing hole.

 

Pam Bird is the “mom” of the firm, and is responsible for all administrative and financial functions.  In addition to her duties at DesignWorks, Pam is an active volunteer within our community, serving on various boards and committees, working to keep Rogers and Northwest Arkansas a great place to live.  She’s been a Rotarian for several years and is a Paul Harris Fellow, and has been recognized through numerous awards for volunteerism and leadership.  She drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee and keeps the satellite radio tuned to talk radio.

 

Meagan is a key part of our success!  She is our Swiss- Army knife...she does a little bit of everything.  As a web designer, her main focus is graphic design and programming, but she is capable of helping anyone in our office.  She is usually blaring some country music with the top down on her Mustang. 

 

Graphic design is Katie's specialty.  She is our resident creative mind.  When we need a great picture or image, or we just need a suggestion for a color to use...she is where we turn.  She loves her two Labradors, Eddie and Jenna, and you can usually find them in the backseat of her Volkswagen Jetta.

 

Scott is everything marketing and promotion.  He makes sure our websites are high up in the search engines, while always keeping an eye on ESPN and what the Chicago Cubs are doing.  His main focus is search engine optimization and web promotion, but he does many other things for us.  He loves to take his Jeep Cherokee to the nearest river, where he and his Chocolate Labrador, Grace, camp and float.

 

Taras has partnered with DesignWorks for over 3 years and has helped us to create the best websites in the nation.   His creative abilities and attention to detail are second to none.  Taras drives a Scion TC which he then bathes in warm water and wipes it down with the softest of terrycloths.  ALERT... Soon to be married to Oksana!
