Goods received by a merchant for one (1) Viceroy tulip: Eight fat swine Twelve fat sheep 63 gallons of wine 60 kegs of beer 30 kegs of butter 1000 lbs. of cheese A silver drinking-cup

In the late 1500s, tulips were introduced to Holland. The flower was considered so rare that wealthy aristocrats and merchants tripped over themselves to buy them. Speculation ensued and the flower became wildly overvalued. In 1637 the tulip trade crashed. People who thought of themselves as extremely rich were reduced to poverty overnight. Trends are temporary. Don't just do something because everyone else is doing it – do something because it makes sense.

What the user wanted.

Users. Sounds like a bunch of junkies or gigolos, doesn't it?

The people who visit web sites aren't "users," click-throughs, hits, numbers on a spreadsheet, or some other form of dehumanizing jargon. They're your husband, your mom, your friend, the guy who sits in the cube next to you. They're real PEOPLE, just like you and me.

We design web sites, not gadgets for James Bond.

Many of our peers do their best impersonation of Q, toying with flashy plug-ins and "next generation" technology.

We don't care about being the first to use the newest web gizmos. We believe in being thoughtful and providing the simplest, best possible solution for our clients.

You don't need a pen that's also a parachute, you need a web site that works for the people who use it. That's why we think a successful site is one that makes real people's lives easier; One that makes them say, "This site worked for me."

So we've made it our mission to ensure this kind of experience at the sites we build. At Storm Creations, we don't see users, we see people---you and your customer.

Let us talk about how we can work together. Email or phone us at 909.765.0086, and we will be happy to discuss how Storm Creations can help your business.
