Mark Wyner Design is a web design studio in Portland, Oregon dedicated to helping people develop positive, lasting impressions on the web.

Research1 shows it takes the brain 1/20th of a second to make decisions when viewing a web page. And this microscopic window can create a lasting first impression because of what psychologists call the halo effect: a cognitive bias in which the impact of one quality influences judgement of other qualities. The positive impression of an appropriate design and a usable interface carries over into web content, and subsequently to the overall image of the people and company behind their website.

What kind of impression would you like to leave with your web audience?

With a sensible design, a usable interface and accessible content, I help people capture the momentum during that split-second window.
