Chad Allen
Chad Allen Designs is based in Park City, Utah. He specializes in web development and graphic design focusing on dynamically generated, database driven web sites, eye catching print communications, and multimedia development.

His unique approach to the business of web development translates into competitive rates and cutting edge work because clients are paying for the multiple talents and extensive experience of a group of serious web developers, graphic designers, illustrators and programmers; not the overhead which comes with a pricey downtown address. Chad can deliver the same or better quality services as bigger companies, but at a lower cost and with a faster turnaround time. Perhaps this is why companies which have turned to me in the past continue to do so again and again.
