The philosophy behind all of glasspear|designs creations is usability before sparkle. We believe that until your design presents the proper information and message, there is no reason to make it stand out from the crowd. Once your message comes across clearly to all your audiences, we then allow our interface elves to work their magic and make your website sparkle.
Rory Craig-Barnes has over 10 years experience with web design, originally designing websites for Netscape 1.22. From these humble beginnings Rory has gone on to produce websites for non-profit organizations, restaurants, private schools and many others. These designs always remained true to Rory's design philosophy.
From these experiences Rory has branched out into logo design, print design and wedding & event stationary design. He believes his designs speak for themselves, please check out his portfolio to view them.

No two projects we see are the same, each requiring a different amount of time and resouces, which means pricing will differ. For example, if you are looking for a brochure website it is one thing, if you are looking for a custom designed e-commerce solution that is another. Please contact us for a quote, or even to just discuss your project further.
You will also find that we are not always the lowest pricing solution for your project, but that isn't because we want to get more money out of you. When you decide to work with us, you gain our customer service, our adivce, our knowledge and our skills. Sure you can find a cheaper place that will have it done tomorrow, but what if something goes wrong next week, what if you what you visualized isn't what they provide. We spend the time to learn your needs and understand your vision, along the way we will help you focus and develop the perfect site for you. This all takes time and costs money.
No one person can do everything, and we are the first to let you know that. We prefer, instead, to defer to those who truly understand the areas we do not. We won't make you hunt down a copy writer, photographer, or an asp programmer, unless you already have someone in mind. We have a growing network of professionals in the area whom we will call upon to help us as needed, to create the best possible product we can.
"Rory impressed me with his comprehensive, immediate understanding of our requirements - he had excellent mock-ups developed within days".
- Gregory Hug (MAGI Consulting)
