WEB DESIGN

Your website will undoubtably the image and experience that the public and, more importantly, your prospective clients will experience first. Again, your first point of contact with the public is your website. We know what the that first impressions are lasting impressions, and missing the opportunity to make a good first impression will cost you money. The ability of a web designer to understand this and adhere to it is what separates your co-workers son who makes web pages and a professional design firm. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We know how the web works technically and psychologically. It's not enough to be able to have the technical knowledge to build a site. Designers need to know how web users think and how certain visual and usability elements will make them feel. When we design a site, we study our client's target audience: it is crucial to know who you're building the site for. Is this site going to be promoting a service, physical products, or the content on the site? What is your target age group? How technology able is your target audience?

These questions help us mold a web site to adhere to the visual queues, object placement, and content type a specific target audience will understand easily. Things like where the main navigation is located, how many columns are on the front page, and whether you disclose your mailing address or use a web form differs on a site-by-site basis. A website for an independent rock band and a website for an insurance broker will look and functional differently.

What all of our sites have in common is that they are built on frameworks that allow our clients to update and maintain their sites as easily as using Facebook or Yahoo mail. There is no coding involved and all you need is a web browser. Time and time again our clients tell us how empowering it is to be able to login and update their site on a Sunday when an idea hits.
