Our website design goal is to ensure a high-quality user experience with ease of interactivity. We accomplished by a combination of form and function. We make the process easy for you by keeping the terminology and information simple while giving you the best value possible. Our top priority is ensuring a high-quality user experience with ease of interactivity using a combination of design and code. Each of our plans are customized to fit your needs and can work within your budget.
The website design process begins with a consultation. We use this time to gain insights into your goals and come up with a plan to implement them and build a relationship with you.
Sketches & Wireframes are an integral part of our website design proces. These tools help us to make key decisions on layout, pages, components and other key features.
Prototypes are an essential tool to develop the actions and functionality of your website. Prototypes are a quick way to test site functions before it goes into the full development phase.
Code and development phase is where the bulk of the website process occurs. This is where we will actually build the website and add custom features using html, css, jquery and more.
Launching a website is when we take the actual site 'live' and attach it to your website URL. In order to coipmlete this phase we will need to get your site 'hosted' and make sure you have an active URL.
Once your website is launched we can now work on 'optimizing' it to give customers the ability to find it online. And we can maintain the site by adding content and making sure it operates correctly.
Static websites are the simplest way to showcase your products or services online. Static websites contain content and information that can help you present your business online.
It is referred to as 'static' simply because there is no data integration or functionality that is database driven. Essentially static websites include images and text content like products, service, and other important information potential or current customers would be looking for. Static websites are a cost efficient way to improve your online presence, but if you want something more 'dynamic' you will need additional functionality that only Dynamic Websites can provide.
Dynamic websites are required for online databases, e-businesses, e-commerce memberships, members-only, online shopping, and others.
Dynamic sites also allow users to set personalized preferences on what information will be displayed. A dynamic site can have a more dramatic impact on your business because the content is more e-commerce driven, while a static site is more for just simply presenting information in an interactive way.
HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. HTML provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML web pages. In order to make Web pages more dynamic looking, additional programs and features such as JavaScript, PHP, Cascading Style Sheets and others were added to work with HTML pages. The average business person has little time to develop expertise in any of these languages, therefore relies on the services of a highly skilled Web programmer. These additional programs, while enhancing the viewer’s experience, significantly increased the complexity of the code. In a traditional HTML site, you would have to use additional programs such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver to edit the content and design of a website.
Content Management Systems provide reusable templates, and reduce the time necessary to post content. A CMS allows features to be used over and over again. But building a CMS takes time — and money. Marketers, designers, and developers each have different needs. Let’s look at how to choose the best solution for your next website: 1. How much control are you willing to give up? When you integrate your website into a CMS, you’re committing to a finite structure that must fit your content (and future updates).2. How often will content updates be necessary? If your site revolves around serial content like blog posts, press releases, and videos, chances are you’ll want a system that allows you to easily add new entries. Consider whether your site will need to be updated regularly — if not, skip the CMS in favor of a really good web developer.3. Have you budgeted for the up-front costs? Whether you’re looking at open source or enterprise tools, you don’t get a CMS for free. Usually a massive expenditure is required, up-front, to integrate a site into a CMS. Not to mention that every piece of editable data adds more time to a web project. Building a “system that lets everyone on the marketing team update content” also increases the likelihood of a broken design 4. Are you prepared for ongoing maintenance? Implementing a CMS has ongoing costs as well. Now your entire site is run by a system, so you either need to stick with this system or hack something in. Yes, I said hack. A CMS’s architecture is based on the original designs; scaling that architecture can be tough, especially if the changes are required in a hurry. If you want to create something on your site that deviates from the established styles, you’ll need to to bring a developer back in. “Simple tweaks” have the potential to snowball into a complex integration.
You may pay a lot of money on traditional advertising to reach a large amount of people and not everyone is interested in your products. Because online advertising is targeted your website will attract people who are interested in your product or service.
The internet is widely used across the globe, which means millions of people can access your website. As of *May 2008 1,412,489,652 people use the internet. You cannot afford to ignore the internet as an avenue to grow your business or organization. A website will give you a local and global identity.
Your logo is the strongest visual representation of your company. Logos are the visual identity of your company and will represent your company outside of the office.
Your logo can tell a potential customer exactly what you company is all about without requiring further information. Capturing the essence of your company is important because people will relate to your logo and feel comfortable doing business with you.
Because of the popularity of the internet, many businesses are already using it and if you cannot stop them from being there, you should also be present, so that potential customers can compare your products and services along with the others.
If you do not have a website potential customers will not take your business seriously. It is the same as not having a business card when you arrive for a meeting. When you have a nicely designed website, customers are more inclined to want to learn more about you, which gives you the chance to sell yourself to them.
Having a website means that you are open for business every hour, of everyday, throughout the year. Your clients can reach you through your website anytime, anywhere. You will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days of the year without the need for more employees or the expense of customer service.
You must set the right goal to have any chance in developing a successful website. To set the right goal you must know your target audience. The design of the website will cater to your vision and knowing what you want to achieve through the site will make it a success.
The success of a website depends on the consistency of the design, appearance, color, style, and overall look. Keeping it simple can help to keep your site consistent. Overload of visual elements, flash animations, and other web graphics can be distracting to viewers. Your website is there to give information about your products and services not to showcase the ability of our designers.
Website content is the most important part of any website. Having well-written copy is guaranteed to make your site more successful than websites that use mediocre writing. Text should be clear, easy to read and compliment graphics. Having too much graphics will take away from the effectiveness of your site.
Ease of use is achieved by several factors. Clear navigation helps people get through your entire site and helps people orient themselves to find what they are looking for. This makes surfing your site easy and visitors will feel comfortable surfing your site and ultimately feel better about you.
One of the most important ways to make sure someone does not use your site is to have a slow loadiong time. If your site does not come up within 15 seconds, most people will leave and not come back. This disaster can be avoided by limiting the use of flash animations, animated gifs, and other graphics that impede on loading time.
Wireframing is a form of sketching where squares, rectangles, lines and text are used to layout a site design. Wireframes make the overall design process faster by making key layout decisions before more complex phases takes place.
Revisions are changes, adjustments, or alterations to a logo design concept. Revisions are a normal, healthy part of the design process. We include up to 3 revisions free with every logo design option. All revision requests must be submitted using our Revision Request Form.
Style Sheets are a series of questions that give you the ability to provide us with important information regarding your logo design. We use this information as a starting point and general direction for your design. All logo orders must be submitted with a completed Style Sheet.
