Middle Ear Media

Learn more about me

My name is Oba­diah Metivier. I am a web designer cur­rently liv­ing in Mar­quette, Michi­gan. I started design­ing web­sites in 1996 with no for­mal train­ing. After work­ing at a design firm for sev­eral years, I decided to quit and start my own business.

In 2008, I re-branded my busi­ness as Mid­dle Ear Media. I also grad­u­ated from North­ern Michi­gan Uni­ver­sity with a degree in Com­puter Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems, launched this site and began to focus on strength­en­ing my brand. In 2009, I added a blog to the site in order to share my knowl­edge and keep you bet­ter informed.

I spe­cial­ize in pro­fes­sional web­site design and web devel­op­ment. I can pro­vide a range of ser­vices includ­ing web design, front-end devel­op­ment, theme cus­tomiza­tion, graphic design, sound design, e-commerce solu­tions, web host­ing, and search engine optimization.

The outer ear focuses and directs sound waves into the mid­dle ear, which trans­lates the energy of these pres­sure waves into mechan­i­cal vibra­tions that are sent through the fluid of the inner ear, which trans­duces them to nerve impulses which are then trans­mit­ted to the brain.

In a sim­i­lar fash­ion, Mid­dle Ear Media acts as a con­duit that trans­lates the raw energy of your ideas and con­cepts into effec­tive designs.

It is very impor­tant to me that I bal­ance the needs of aes­thet­ics as well as func­tion­al­ity in order to cre­ate a truly ful­fill­ing web expe­ri­ence. To accom­plish this, I always design with usabil­ity and stan­dards in mind.

My aim is to estab­lish long-term cus­tomer rela­tion­ships based on trust and a com­mit­ment to pro­duce the best web­site design and web devel­op­ment. I under­stand that my suc­cess depends on my clients — that’s why the suc­cess of your busi­ness is my high­est priority.
