Web Design with quality customer service
Dogpaw Studio offers quality, personalized customer service in web design.

As part of our personalized service, we will also provide expert technical support and address all questions and concerns that come up after your site goes live. Just call or email us! We will respond promptly, earn your respect and repeat business, and build a long-term relationship that both of us are sure to find professionally rewarding.

Helping our environment
Dogpaw Studio is an environmentally responsible business, from the recycling we do to the energy we use. We keep paper usage to a minimum and recycle all of the paper that we do use. Even our business cards are environmentally friendly; they are printed on recycled fiber with only one ink color, black, and they are only 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches in size. Plus, we deliver and archive accounting documents, invoices, and design proofs electronically whenever possible.
Our office uses electricity from sustainable energy sources. Specifically, 50% of our electricity comes from wind power, 25% comes from solar power, and 25% comes from low-impact hydropower. In addition, through the use of digital photography for our webpage artwork, we avoid the metals, plastics, and chemicals that traditional film involves.
Please feel free to call or email us if you have any suggestions on how we can improve on our environmentally conscious practices or if you would simply like to share your thoughts on our philosophy.
