Welcome to Creative Sites Media

Mark Lockett, owner and Creative Director of Creative Sites Media was a featured Speaker on the Xtreme Makeover - Website Edition panel at this year's Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta Georgia. We were chosen to represent the Independent Music Industry as a professional web design company who offers services taylored for starting musicians and industry professionals. The CSM Control Panel was a featured topic because it gives the artists the ability to update their own content without the costs of paying a professional webmaster. CSM had the pleasure and honor to serve Atlantis along with Patrick Berry - Project 8, David Hooper - Kathode Ray Music, Tony Rodono - Aleven Music Marketing & Design, Michael Calamusa - theAARDVARKBRIGADE, Bryan Ledbetter - The Zoo Agency, benfRank - benfRank design and Ben Harben Ben Harpen Design.

WWW.SONGBIRD.CC The Songbird Foundation came to Creative Sites Media and asked us to make their vision come true. On online Independant Music Download hub, operating like iTunes and built to be fully automated by users and one administrator. Over 3 months, we did just that. It is now in Beta Testing with select artists. It features an extensive searchable database of songs, artists, albums and genres. We created a custom VeriSign Payflow Pro SDK eCommerce transaction system to fulfill the unique needs of an mp3 download serving site. The administration system we created automates everything from uploading mp3s and creating artists to printing checks due to the artists. CSM is proud to serve The Songbird Foundation and look forward to a long wonderful relationship.

Picture this... You are a small business, and need a web site. You research and find it is going to cost you thousands of dollars to have your site created, hosted and then on top of that, maintained. Creative Sites Media will not only create your site for way less than anyone else, but we will create you a second back-end website that will keep all of your content updated and maintained through a series of online web-based programs.

Still don't get it? Then picture this... You are an artist or musician. You cannot operate in this industry without a web presence. Many bands and artists now completely base their marketing strategies on an online fan base. Creative Sites Media was founded by Mark Andrew Lockett and was crafted from serving the music industry through the Christian band The Normals. When the record label came to a band and told them they needed a website, we had to shop around and find the cheapest services that offered a quality site. At the time (2000), this was around $4,500.00 for the simplest of sites. On top of that, the band would need to pay X amount to keep it updated every month (tour dates, news, etc...). With CSM's rates and the CSM Control Panel, making your web presence attainable and affordable is a reality.

Why? Creative Sites is all about serving. We charge what is fair for our time and hard work, but we have never turned down a client over money. Perhaps it is the kick of seeing God work through us to serve people and small businesses which need it. Our business is completely relationship based. Creative Sites had amazing growth in 2002 and 2003 because of the clients that allowed us to serve them. We hope you will put that same trust in us. We look forward to the opportunity to serve!
