How are we different from other web design companies?
Our principals and designers have a background in the fine arts. Superb design supports what you need your website to do for you. Without it, even with the strongest SEO program, visitors won’t take the time to explore what you have to offer. In fact, with poor design, they may not even be able to find what they’re looking for on your website.
Your website’s service to the success of your business is what is most important to us. We bring our art and design experience to the table and combine that with our commitment to functional excellence.

What is it about Fat Eyes?
Here’s the design difference we’re talking about:
Our work in electronic media began in 1990, which paved the way to web development and founding Fat Eyes in early 1998.
See that little image to the right? That’s us – Doug Anderson and Gina Fiedel, co-founders and principals of Fat Eyes. Okay, yeah. We’ve grown up some since then.
Graduates of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, our formal visual training began ages ago. This means we’ve accumulated a long track record as practicing visual artists and designers with national and international exhibitions, sales, grants, awards, articles, catalogs and reviews. Our work is represented in museums and private collections worldwide.
Life (and success) in the competitive contemporary art world gave us skills that inform our ability not only to create web sites, but also to discern, interact with and support our clients’ needs.
Art-making on a professional level is not solely about making pretty pictures or objects; it requires clear intention, accepting critique, listening, dialogue, determination and perseverance, delivering the goods. These are critical skills in the art world and they are also critical skills for running a web design company. We use what we’ve learned.
