I specialize in custom designed websites. I not only photograph, graphically design and write and code your website, I make sure it has the elements it needs to get listed on the top search engines and that it's optimized with the correct meta tags, including, keywords to make it the most effective tool you can have in your marketing arsenal. I also help people set up all their other promotional marketing materials or on-line accounts so their brand/look is consistent. From twitter, to facebook and dig or any other promotional on-line site to postcards, ads, business cards and promotional materials.

Established in 2001
Stevemckinnis.com came to be in 2001. I had always done free-lance work (even while in College-as far back as 1989) but the website wasn't constructed until 2001. My mission is to provide to best looking and coded website that I am capable of creating. I also pride myself on helping people who have been continually frustrated by difficult designers who either didn't fulfill their obligation or disappeared midway through a project. My mantra; "Feel Lost? Use a web & graphic designer who won't leave you stranded.". I am very honest with my clients; I tell them what is possible and what isn't, up front. I thrive on creating original artwork, logo work or photographing for my clients and putting it all together. I do not outsource my work.
Meet the Business Owner: Steve M.
Here are some client quotes, I feel they better express my abilities...
"What can I say about Steve McKinnis? Steve worked with me on my website. He only asked me for an outline. I gave him key points and he took it from there. From the first website draft, he blew me away. He raises the bar with his professionalism and attention to detail. To say I'm very happy with his services is an understatement."
"Steve McKinnis is a fabulous and creative person. He has great web designing skills as well as good people skills. Many of my patients have complimented my website because they said that it accurately portrays our caring office atmosphere. Steve has gone out his way to help me with powerpoint presentations as well. He is available for last minute help and is more than willing to rearrange his schedule to offer assistance. I have referred several other professionals to Steve for graphic arts and web design. Their positive experiences have paralleled mine. My website is always in the process of being updated. Take a look at Steve's creation.
"I have had the opportunity to work with Steve McKinnis on numerous occasions, not only as a web designer, but also as a graphic artist. Each and every time I have worked with Steve, he was very responsive, attentive to my needs, and timely with regard to getting the work done."
5 years ago I started working with Steve Mckinnis for my web and graphic services. At that time I had an aol page and a business card that was pretty basic. I knew if my business was going to grow, I needed a new and professional look. Not being an artist I didn't quite know how I was going to convey that vision. From our first meeting Steve was great!!! He was very easy to work with and made what I had thought was going to be a very difficult process a fun experience. It was so cool to see what I had explained actually coming to life but with so much more then I could have imagined. Steve took my tagline and branded me across the board with my website and business cards. Steve has always been very professional and a huge help when needing something updated or changed. I would say 50 percent of my business tell me they picked me due to look of my site. I always tell them you can have one just as cool and amazing and refer them to call Steve. Just in case you want to see what he did for me visit http://www.gotmemassage.com/.
Steve got me to re-think my initial approach to my site, the images, the layout and the message in general. I am beyond excited and happy with the re-work and the inclusion of all my social media platforms to look and have the same feel as the site. So grateful. What a talent Steve is.
Steve McKinnis is amazing at giving the customers like myself what they want in designing a new website and look for our Splash H2o website, Stevelistens and gave me options that I would not think was possible. the process was fast and he gets it done, with upgrades and can work well with anyone at any level of websign knowledge. I am having him rebuild my next website in keeping up with new looks and features!thanksSteve Mckinnis
give him a call!!!
give him a call!!!
Steve was highly recommended to me by my friend Jane at 'Art Takes A Village' who was thrilled with the site he had created for her. Since I wanted a very layered, highly stylized, French look & feel for my vintage home decor shop, I needed someone who could "get it" & create it from the boxes & files of ideas I had collected over a year's time. Steve never flinched; he went thru everything I had gathered & then proceeded to miraculously create exactly what I had envisioned. This deserves such high praise as his ability to really listen, understand & then produce with his uber artistic talent, the spot-on vision that the client has, is what sets him apart. The day my site went up, it started receiving rave reviews for its' 'Wow' factor & it perfectly represents my shop: vigenttesantiques.com... I then recommended him to the Ocean Beach Antique District for our group's website that needed a total re-do & he created one with major impact that has put our district on the map. His photography, design work, creative input & ultimately the ability to pull it all together so brilliantly, is why Steve sets the gold standard for websites.
My highest praise to a phenomenal talent!

Great Job! I love working with someone I can trust. Steve works quickly, and he's a bit of a perfectionist. He's done a variety of projects for my business, notably the website as well as most of my print advertising. He's very attentive to my needs, and he's fun to work with. Looking forward to working with Steve to build our webstore.
I've have worked with Steve Mckinnis for five years and have yet to be disappointed. He is a great photographer and really takes his time to find out what you want. I appreciate his way of thinking out of the box and attention to detail. I have been thru two modifications and everytime my website is much better and has more searchability. My first year of business was up 45% and by the second year 60%. I really was surprised at how many people contacted me thru the website. Six years later and still clients compliment me on the look of the website!! So thanks Steve... Creative, professional, and fast....what more could you want!
Steve's professionalism & creativity shines through his websites, blogs & photography. He recently updated my yoga website and the outcome was amazing. He knew the perfect place for a photo shoot, colors & fonts. In a couple of days, the website was complete. Many of my friends complimented his work and asked if he'd be interested in working w/ them! He's readily available for any updates I have w/ the site. As a photographer, his work was featured for the month of September in Yoga Journal's 35th Anniversary Special Edition. As a web designer, he takes pride in his work and it shows
We first contacted Steve McKinnis about a year and a half ago to help us in developing a new web site for the Ocean Beach Antique District. Steve was exactly what we needed. He came to the group and made an impressive presentation, he listened to and met individually with each of four store owners. He developed an incredible site for us, did all the photography and design which resulted in this wonderful visually stunning web site. Through the entire experience Steve was so very accommodating, professional and available. The end result was a web site which successfully represents our entire district as well as meets the needs of the individual stores. Steve has continued to be extremely helpful and always available when we had questions or were looking for modifications. If you're looking for someone with technical skill and confidence, as well as creativity and artistic talent, then Steve McKinnis is the guy to call. This new web site has been such an incredible boost to our business district and has become a great tool for us to reach out to our customers, don't know why we hadn't done it sooner!
