The Problem

After being involved in the Alaska website design industry for the past four years, either professionally or with personal freelance projects, I have concluded Alaska is in much need of a web design company that is capable of clean, professional and modern website design.

After completing a double major in marketing and finance from the University of Alaska Anchorage I began designing websites for various business ideas I was currently working on. It was during this time I uncovered my passion for marketing businesses online.

The Obsession

Being fascinated by technology and an eager learner, I started reading about HTML at every opportunity. Before long I found myself regularly spending $200-400 per month on new books about website design, development and theory. In even shorter time it became obvious my bookshelf wasn’t going to be adequate for all the books I was acquiring.

Over the ensuing years I had the opportunity to hone my skills while working at a local design studio in Anchorage. During this time I made notable contributions on large website projects with Alaska Pacific University, Alaska Trust Company, the Alaska Department of Education, Treeforms Furniture Gallery and Alaska eHealth Network among many others.

A Journey Begins

Tailor Web Design opened its virtual doors October 1st, 2011. Yes, we’re the new guys on the block though far from inexperienced. Most recently I was the lead website designer for Sundog Media in Anchorage, which is arguably Alaska’s premiere high-end web studio. I left Sundog Media with the blessing and encouragement of Joe Law, the owner of Sundog Media. In fact, they have become our largest client as we continue to create a large portion of their custom website designs.

Tailor Web Design focuses on utilizing the internet to it’s fullest potential. I believe when done correctly an organization’s website can be their single greatest asset to generate and convert leads into business, accomplish strategic objectives and reach their audience.

If you have the time, please, give me a call at 907-830-9345. I would love to sit down with you at a personal level, learn about your business and share with you how Tailor Web Design can help take it to the next level.


All the best,
Kristian Pettyjohn
