Tropicali Design Studio was established in 1998 in the San Francisco Bay Area. We were pioneers in the new field of website design and were lucky to be located in the midst of the Internet boom.

Through the years we have seen many website design fads come and go away. Our custom designs are created to be timeless so you won’t need a redesign in two years to keep your look current. Even our earliest designs are still relevant and fresh.

Because of our extensive experience, knowledge and skill, we don’t waste your time trying to figure out how to do things. We follow a tried-and-true blueprint to make sure everything is done correctly.

We take painstaking care to ensure your website is neat and professional, and creates a pleasant experience for your visitors. There will be no bad links, broken images or other design flaws to distract your visitor or give a negative impression. We make sure everything is covered – including things you can’t see such as search engine optimization. We’ll even make you a favicon.

Visitors will rave about your site and the good impression will extend to you and your services or products.

In today’s world, you cannot afford NOT to have a website. People are hungry for information that they can access 24 / 7 / 365. We remember the early days when people were skeptical of Internet businesses. But perceptions have changed. Today every business, even 'brick and morter' businesses, require a web presence to be considered legitimate.

We have created sites as small as one page and up to several hundred pages, but our true niche is making websites for small business owners. We like to consider ourselves to be our clients' partners, and we are proud to help them succeed.

Our mission is to give small business owners a site that reflects their personality. Go ahead and ask us for an American flag on your home page, or to use pictures of your pets on the site. Your website will be YOU-nique!

Most websites cost between $800 and $1600, although more extensive sites will be more expensive. We are happy to update and expand your website at a fair rate and in a timely manner.

We believe every business, even the smallest one, deserves a web presence. That's why we work hard to keep our overhead low, and our rates reasonable and affordable.

Jason and Eve Alexander are a husband-wife web design team. We combine our expertise in the many aspects of web design, and we work very well together.

We got into website design in 1998, working on our corporate website at BASS Tickets in Concord, California (no longer in business as BASS. It was purchased by Tickets.com).

Eve accepted a position with Ellie Mae in 2001, where she developed websites for mortgage brokers. Jason stayed at BASS through the merger and worked on the Tickets.com website.

In 2004 Jason accepted a creative position working for Copart, Inc. in Fairfield, CA where he produced web and print graphics for this Fortune 500 auto salvage company. In the meantime, Eve took a position working for John Muir Senior Services in Concord, CA where she single-handedly operated a program providing free prescription medications for low-income senior citizens in the communities of Contra Costa County. That position was phased out with the new Medicare prescription program, and she went back to graphic design as the Private Brands Package Design Manager for Longs Drugs in Walnut Creek.

We created our business name by combining the word 'tropical' with 'California' - originally we were planning to start an exotic plant nursery, growing and selling bamboos, daturas, succulents and other beautiful, rare plants. But the call to website design was strong, and the need for affordable websites was great, so we shifted our focus to web design and we haven't looked back!
