Web Project Discovery

You want a website, you have deadlines to meet, but first you need a plan. Just as you would not build a skyscraper without blueprints, you don't start building a website before some basic questions are answered. Before designing a site we talk about your audience, objectives, and goals. A documented plan will help insure you: get the website you want, can maintain and update it; all at a price you can afford. Rushing the discovery process will just create added expense and frustration in the end. I have many years of experience helping clients discover and achieve what they need, while meeting their budgetary demands.

Website Coding

Starting with the internet standard XHTML and CSS, your site is built to function and display properly across multiple browsers. From there, I enhance your site using the latest in the code world: JavaScript, DHTML, XML, and more.

Website Layout

Your website layout is one of the most important features of your website development. A successful layout conforms to good design principles, clearly communicates your companies message, and is quick to download into a web browser. The layout development process is a collaborative, creative process which our designers undertake with you via email & phone, ensuring constant service and communication.

Graphics Production

Banners, logos, and navigation elements are important to building your companies online identity. All graphics for your site project are hand designed, coded, and optimized to provide finicky visitors with fast loading pages. There's nothing today's surfers dislike more than pages that take too long to load.

Logo Development

Experienced designers are able to translate your organization’s personality, industry, and goals into a graphical representation of that organization. Using this image over time creates an impression on customers and serves as an important branding tool. Clients are able to use this new image not only on the web, but incorporate this new logo into letterhead, business cards, brochures, newsletters, and more.

Domain Name Registration

The starting point for any company looking for an online presence, I register your domain name using one of the most trusted registration services. Whether you have a name already decided upon or you need help brainstorming a completely original name, I can help.

Web Hosting

For users to access your site it is necessary to have your site connected to an Internet server. Think of the server as a virtual apartment that you rent out each month so that people can come and view your website. A proper server provides security and speed that are accessible 24-hours a day from anywhere in the world.

Site Maintenance

After your site is completed and published on the web, who is going to keep it current and fresh? I have several plans available ranging from a monthly retainer covering all updates you need, to an hourly rate to cover individual changes to your site. Whether you're a restaurant owner who needs to post a special for your customers, or a consulting firm announcing a special seminar, the most successful sites are updated on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis.

Search Engine Submission and Optimization

Once we have your site designed and optimized for the internet, now comes the hard part: how are people going to find it? I can help. I stay on top of the ever evolving technologies that search engines use to index websites. Each page on your site is hand coded to include keywords, descriptions, and more to make sure users can find your site.
