When it comes to first (and lasting) impressions, image is everything.
At Lost Highway Media, web design starts with a focus on visual excellence to help our clients stand out from their competitors. Your website in 2026 is the equivalent of your Yellow Pages ad decades ago. It is the place where potential customers will gain their first impressions of your business. And first impressions last.
We've designed and developed for the web since it first came to prominence in the mid-1990s. We've been through all of the technological advancements and design trends; we've seen what works and what doesn't. Coming from strong visual design and software engineering backgrounds, we are uniquely positioned to deliver beautiful, modern, responsive, standards-compliant web solutions at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.
With the ever-increasing use of mobile devices, responsive web design is a must. A professional website must offer seamless navigation, readability, and functionality across devices ranging from smartphones to desktops. Web designers too often fail to meet the challenge of translating good web design into the technological framework of responsive web design. Consequently, they rely on problematic template-based platforms such as WordPress.
Our websites are built from scratch. We. Write. Code. And we launch websites that are visually compelling, user-friendly, standards-compliant, and scalable. Many of our clients have started out with static "calling card" websites that have grown into dynamic, data-driven powerhouses. We proudly add the websites we build to our own portfolio so potential clients can see the quality of our work.
We are creative. We are technical. We thrive at the convergence of art and tech, and we are genuinely excited about lifting our clients out of the white noise and into the vista.

31 Years of Web Expertise • We build websites that are...
BEAUTIFUL & HANDCRAFTED We don't use templates—We. Write. Code.
An aviation website built from a template designed for a French Bakery is just not going to land with credibility. Our websites are handcrafted and custom-tailored to the client. We listen, we learn, and we deliver websites that work as hard for our clients' businesses as they do. And we do it all at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.
RESPONSIVE & COMPLIANT We follow the standards, you reap the benefits.
It's Google's world—we just live in it. They, along with other organizations, set the technical standards to which modern websites must adhere to gain visibility and relevance. We follow those standards, along with proven best practices, to produce secure websites that load fast, work reliably, and look great on all device screens.
FLEXIBLE & SCALABLE When business grows, shouldn't your website?
You shouldn't have to build a new website at every milestone of business growth. Many of our clients started out with static "calling card" websites that have grown into dynamic, data-driven powerhouses. We start every project on a solid, scalable foundation because nothing excites us more than our clients' successes.

The Media You Need for a Compelling Website
GRAPHIC/TYPOGRAPHIC DESIGN Logo • Branding • Style • Identity
90% of a website's visual appeal relies on quality imagery and layout—eye candy. We can help you choose and/or create the right images to tell your story and place you ahead of your competitors in the eyes of potential customers. We can't help thinking big, but we sweat the details.
PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY A picture is worth a thousand words.
From product, service, and facility photography to full-production video infomercials, we capture the perfect angles. We do aerial photography/videography, award-winning audio production, music beds, voiceovers, and more—and we bring it all together with world-class post-production skills.
COPYWRITING Can we tell you a story?
Whether it's scholarly non-fiction, artistic prose, technical/business writing, or the perfect elevator pitch, we write crisp, concise, compelling copy. Not all of our clients are Shakespeares and many have come to rely on Lost Highway Media to help tell their story professionally on the web.
"Not only does Brian design some of the most beautiful, responsive websites; he also listens and gets in touch with his clients' needs. I don't know anyone in web or graphic design who offers a better service at a better price."

"We knew we needed creativity, and Brian delivered on that. He spent a lot of time on details that I wasn't expecting, and they ended up making the difference. The result was a website that was even better than I expected, delivered on time and within budget."
