This company website below designs VO websites, print covers for CDs, as well as duplicate and package them.

I was wondering if other VO folks could recommend more companies like this one, this can't be the only one out there.

http://www.villagegreenstudios.com/xtras.html

My printer is done for.

Can anyone help me find more companies who specialize in branding websites and CDs for VO talent?

Please let me know. I don't know who else to ask or where else to look.

A lot of VO people use VillageGreen. They offer lots of flash and snazziness that play to your ego, but at the end of the day, the sites are very cookie cutter. Is your website really so important that you need to make your visitors wait through a loading screen?

Have you checked with our very own DB Cooper? I think the stuff she does is much better.

Good point, Jeffrey. Plus, if you're hoping for the highest possible SEO, Google recommends strongly against using Flash on one's homepage because search engines cannot read Flash content, just as they cannot read text that is in image form.

Oh I don't want flashy things done for a website. I love DB's design, but I don't think she creates wesbites anymore Frown

I like mine as it is but it could use more to it, maybe a BIO, links?

Also, I only thought about Village Green Studios because I need some printed CD covers for hard copies that I need to mail out. I don't care for their website design offers. I also brought up the subject here in case anyone knew some... cheaper places?

Thanks for everyone's time and responses.

Well, I do design sites, but I don't think I have the full-service capabilities Mary is looking for.

There was a place called Dan and Dan I recall that seemed to focus on VO people.
