Who are you?
Declan O’Neill, was born in Ireland, and moved to the US in 2005. Initially he lived in Florida, but in 2007 he moved to Michigan. In 2008, Declan became a legal alien “documented immigrant” of the United States.
(Yes I am a 100% legal citizen of the United States, well until 2019 anyway).
What do we do?
We offer a range of web-related design and marketing services to clients with either large budgets or small budgets. Due to our breadth of experience and knowledge of open-source and custom web applications, we are able to offer a tailored solution to meet nearly every client’s needs.
When did we start?
In Apr 2009, Declan became a father to two amazing boys. One week later he was laid-off from his full-time job. He had a decision to make, set up his own web design company, work from home and watch his children develop, or get another office job. He chose to set up his own web design agency and be with his boys. This site started around the end of Apr 2009, however Declan has worked in the web industry since 1997.
Where are you Located?
We are located in Pinckney Michigan close to Ann Arbor, Howell and Brighton.
(1hr from Detroit and the Canadian border or 4 hrs from Chicago. Just so you have a general idea of where we’re located).
Why are we doing this?
Declan has worked with some large web design firms such as Logic by Design and 352 Media Group. Declan has worked with clients such as Nokia, Philips, Web.com, Michigan Works, and Western Michigan University. We have a passion for the web, and we want to take the knowledge and experience from working with large corporations and use it to help smaller companies with less resources. (And I need to pay the bills).
How We Work
O’Neill Creative works closely with a number of handpicked US based web contractors and freelance web professionals, so that we can deliver a quality solution.
We believe by offering our clients this approach,…
– We can combine the skills of many versatile talented designers and developers.
– We can assign the right team to your project, based on your specific needs, this means you are not paying for us to become skilled at a particular technology or solution.
– We cut down the costs of the overall solution, because we have less overheads, but at the end of the day you get the same product.
– We are much stronger, diverse and cost-effective.
– Functionality and Design features are delivered regularly (weeks and not months.)
– We keep our customers happy by delivering our projects on time.
We know this style of website development may be foreign to most businesses, but we believe this is the perfect solution while working in the best interests of all our clients. Our partners are all successful and skilled people and agencies, but when we come together we can deliver solutions off all sizes.
(Many other design companies work this way, but we want to be upfront and honest about our development process).
Our Goals Are Quite Simple
– To work in partnership with our clients, so we can offer user-friendly and customer focused interactive web solutions.
– To make sure we offer the best customer service and client experience possible.
– To build long-term strong relationships with all our clients, so we can aid them in achieving their online business goals.
Pricing Structure
We believe that all web design companies should display their pricing — Stores, Car Dealers, Realtors, Coffee shops etc…all have to display pricing, so the client or potential buyer knows how much the product costs, and we want to do the same. Also by displaying our standard pricing we hope that this will help with the amount of qualified leads we receive, and discourage the tire kickers from contacting us to shop for prices.
