Company History

Shawns Web Designs was started in 2007 by Shawn M. Petersen as a home-based business, the purpose of which was to provide a more personal touch to the Web design business and to allow him more time with his family. As a small business our main focus is small to medium sized businesses who would like to create a presence on the Web. We here at Shawns Web Designs are strongly focused on customer service. We feel that the Web design business is lacking in customer care, this is probably due to the fact that so many people work on the same project, but at Shawns Web Designs you will deal with one person and you will be assisting in the design of your site, we will take care of the rest. This is not an innovation, however, this is the way we do business and we feel that its the only way to provide the best in customer service.

After moving to Logan, Utah in 2004 he attended Bridgerland Applied Technology College, where he was able to hone his skills in these programs as well as in HTML and various Internet programming languages.

As a professional Shawn feels that good is never good enough. This is his reason for his relentless pursuit for perfection. He strongly believes that learning does not have to happen in the classroom, so he constantly strives to learn on a daily bases. As a person Shawn feels that customer service is very important and one should treat others as they want to be treated.
