Logos
A logo should, at a glance, convey what your business is about. The professionalism and attractiveness of your logo can also tell your customers a lot about your level of integrity and your attention to detail. These are both factors that many customers use to measure competitors before making a choice.
Web Development
Clean Code
I develop easy-to-navigate sites based on solid coding practices. I know how to "hand-code" so that the widest possible range of users will be able to view your site. We then test your site on multiple browsers and screen resolutions in both PC and Mac environments.
Content Organization and Development
One of our specialties is organizing information so that it is easy to understand on the web. Your users will not become lost or "stuck", but seamlessly guided to complete tasks such as "fill out an inquiry form" or "buy a product."
Maintenance
Old, stale web sites not only turn away customers, they rank lower in search results! It's important to maintain your web site by keeping your service and product information up-to-date and your content fresh.
Keys to "Fresh" Web Sites:
- Make sure products and services are up-to-date
- Create a "What's New" section to encourage return visits
- Review and update contact information
- When making content changes, update the site map and meta data
Personal Web Sites
Expressing yourself with a personal website design, a charitable organization, or activity website is very common these days. Our designers work with everyday people to create an online scene for children's sports teams, member clubs, hobbies, and much more.
How much does a website cost ?
The Short Version
Every site is different. Please so we can evaluate your project individually.
The Long Version
The cost of any particular project is dependent on a number of factors. Chief among these are the following:
- The complexity of the site (levels of information)
- The size of the site (in pages)
- The amount of advanced functionality and programming involved (database integration, e.g.)
- The number and complexity of advanced features on the site (motion graphics, automatically updating information, etc.)
- The amount of content needed to be generated by us
- The quality of the content (such as photographs) and the amount of time required to make them web-appropriate
- The amount of work involved organizing and collating the information
What's Included ?
Each site are different, but generally, the following services are the minimum for any site.
- Initial custom home page mockups
- Creation of navigation and design layout for the website
- Design and development of original HTML custom web pages
- Meta tag creation and editing
- Design and development of customized CGI e-mail submission forms
- Design and development of printer-friendly versions of documents (PDF format)
- Design or enhancement of original web images, web animations or photos
- Scan, enhance and web optimize all product images
- Integration of all text, images, photos and interactive tools
- Beta test during the site development (so you can monitor progress as the site is assembled)
- Web site launch
- Constant communication in plain English
What's Involved ?
- My approach is from the ground-up. The first step in the project will be to ascertain the message of the site and the content necessary to get that message across in the most effective manner. From there, I will draft a site map which (1) organizes content in a logical, intuitive manner, and (2) determines the overall structure of the site.
- Once the site map is in place, I establish a beta site on line so you can track the progress of the site and we can test its cross-platform functionality.
- From there, I lay out the major areas of the site. During this process, I am able to determine the quality and sufficiency of existing content and to determine what and how much more will need to be generated.
- At the same time, work begins on the graphic look of the pages.
- As the content, layout and graphics come together, I constantly evaluate the site. Once the site is up in its entirety, I test all of the links and functionality to ensure that it works for the maximum number of browsers and platforms.
- Once I am satisfied with the beta site, I move the final copy onto the actual server.
