One part function + two part creative + one part visual + three part artistry.
I'd like to welcome you to my website. My name is Brian Ericson and I create custom non-template websites which provide a substantial first impression to suit both your and your business' personality. Your business and website are an extension of you. Set yourself apart and be different in order to help establish an online presence. MLA Web Design provides affordable custom website design, copy writing and website development services for the purpose of assisting new and/or small businesses establish themselves and make their presence known.
I believe in functionality, efficient usability and emotive stability as the foundation for an effective website. A smooth, spacious and clean appearance can either be created from nothing and designed to your standards or a currently existing website can be completely rebuilt, modified and/or refreshed.
My sevices are available to the Milwaukee metropolitan area as well as the Iowa City / Coralville, IA areas, but will always welcome inquiries from other parts of North America. Consultations are always free.


I wanted the website for Milwaukee Luxury Assistance to stand apart in its appearance, because in my opinion the type of work it is representing stands on its own as well...not your ordinary line of work(s). I wanted visual depth as well as a clean look, therefore the monochrome color scheme as well as the use of opacity to bring the background and foregrounds together as one. I performed all copy writing, photography and SEO work as well.
The website for Aspen Hills Design was a complete redesign and rebuild. As an e-commerce site it also needed a lot of help with Search Engine Optimization. With many products to offer Aspen Hills Design needed a more efficient manner to showcase what it has available to consumers. This was accomplished by the inclusion of numerous galleries which not only provide valuable visual reference to the consumer but product description(s) as well. Simplicity in design with an emphasis on usability, coupled with soft visuals completed the manner in which Aspen Hills Design wanted their abilities displayed and brought forth to the web.
I respond within minutes, not hours or days. Not only is customer service part of my professional background, it is my nature. It is automatic.
I've been in your shoes before. I've gone through the process of looking for a web designer to build my first website when I knew absolutely nothing about the never-ending world of web design. I felt like whomever I spoke to never truly "got" what I was looking for in a website. The ones that tried, failed badly. Just as the old saying goes, "If you want something done right, do it yourself." That's what I did, I taught myself how to design and build websites so I could get exactly what I was looking for.
That is the precise reason why I know I can help you. You know your business better than anyone. Through communication and a multitude of questions, I can help you get the website that you seek. And the work doesn't stop there...my work is not done until you are satisfied. And unlike most web designers, I do not charge any extra fees for any extra work as I offer a flat flee for website design and construction. Consultations are always free.
