website design
A well designed web site is attractive, user-friendly and well-organized. We prefer to use simple, visually pleasing layouts, avoiding many of the bells and whistles that can quickly become distracting and take a long time to load. Our sites are hand-coded using CSS and XHTML standards to maximize accessibility and compatibility for site visitors. (If you are not familiar with these concepts, have a look at our glossary for explanations of web-related terms.)
so how much will it cost?
There are 3 basic costs to web sites: the domain name, web hosting and design and development. Learn more>>
custom site design/redesign
A custom web site will make your site stand out from the others. We work closely with our clients to find the balance between what they have in mind and what will work on a web page. We believe a good web design should...
- reflect the spirit of the business, group or individual that it represents.
- connect you with those who may be interested in your services or products. Search Engine Optimization techniques make your site easier to find.
- be logically organized with concise and understandable content so visitors can easily find the information or products they need.
- be compatible with as many browsers as possible. With increasing use of a variety of browsers other than Internet Explorer and Netscape, compatibility is even more important than ever.
- be technically accessible to as many users as possible.
- comply with current Internet standards so that the site is current and forward-compatible, and accessible.
search engine optimization
Many of the strategies used for search engine optimization are a basic part of standards based web design. Adding descriptions and keywords for search engines is another technique that is included in our coding. We can also help you explore other options for promoting your web site, depending on your target audience and your budget.
site maintenance
Site updates can be done on a periodic or regular basis. Rates are hourly or a more economical maintenance contract can be set up according to need.
