My Experience
I have over 19 years of professional design experience and over 13 years of website design and development experience. I started my career in 1990 after graduating with honors from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with an Associates Degree in Visual Communications. After graduating I went on to work at one of Pittsburgh's largest corporate meeting production facilities, The SLIDEing Board. In 1993 I started working with another company in Pittsburgh called Type N' Slides. My responsibility at Type N' Slides was to design multimedia presentations for corporate companies like; Westinghouse, Pepsi, Heinz and others. I also traveled with these companies on location offering my experience as a technical consultant and multimedia designer.

I left Type N' Slides in 1999 and started what is known today as Gary Petrie Visual Imaging. Since then I have created countless websites for companies all across the US. I created my first website for Zambelli Fireworks Internationale in 1996. I'm proud to say that they are still a client. Building solid relationships with clients is very important for my future growth and I work very hard in developing relationships that last. I've designed websites for companies that include the most popular vacation destination in the world, numerous companies from New York to Los Angeles and many companies just like yours. I've designed websites that include services or products for jewelry, homes, food, health care, sports, construction, research, books, magic, cars and much more.

Client's employ my services for three main reasons.

• Experience: I have the experience of over 19 years. I know many of today's programs needed to create successful website campaigns. I can create websites that include Flash Animation, Video, PHP/ASP Programming, Databases, etc.
  
  
• Design Talent: I am an artist first and foremost. The websites I create are my portfolio for many jobs to come, so all work is created with care and importance. That's why all websites are custom made.
  
  
• Price: I have very little overhead, which means better pricing for you. I can create websites at a fraction of the cost of larger companies and at the same time offer better quality websites, because for me it's not just a job, it's my passion.
