Stackle Box Design was founded by Steve Stackle. Steve believes that even with HTML editors, web design can be very labor-intensive, and for many people, the effort is not worth the trouble. Most small businesses do not have the budget to hire a large web design firm to create what is often just the equivalent of an Internet brochure; just a few pages saying, "We are here. Come visit us in the real world." Many web design companies want $1000 or more just for a few pages. Steve Stackle can do the job at a fraction of the cost, and without the hassle of dealing with some nameless, faceless design firm. He believes in a good product at a reasonable price, built in a timely manner. We hope that you will give Stackle Box Design a chance and find out what we are all about.
Steve Stackle lives in Bedford Hills, New York and works predominantly in the New York City area.

In June 2005, he attended the Flash Forward Conference in New York, where he met with some of the leading professionals in the web design community who are using Macromedia Flash to change the face of the Internet.
