"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will." George Bernard Shaw
Website Creation...

Ben Kettlewell has been active in web design since 1994. He works with a team of highly skilled partners who offer a wide range of web building capabilities and services, including Flash, 3D Graphic design, streaming media, database development and e-commerce options.
   
Ben's art school training in graphic design, painting and sculpture, and his achievements as a musician, author and journalist, award winning soundtrack composer over many years (Provincetown Theatre, Cape Cod, MA, USA), and, more recently, as a filmmaker, are integral to his approach to visual design.
    
The programming aspects of web design, using scripting in conjunction with digital imaging to construct visual imagery, such as layout, color and texture, have become a major fascination and driving force in Ben's approach to website design.
   
Initially, his website design projects catered to artists and small businesses. Expanded programming skills under the guidance of Emily Johnson, MIT, brought more diverse clients. His website design work progressed to a professional level in 1996 when he became webmaster for one of the largest municipal sites in New England, Provincetown.com, which he maintained until 1998, when he moved to California. Since that time he and his partners have created hundreds of websites for artists, individuals, businesses and organizations around the world.
