Web Design and Development

Web Design Philosophy

Our business philosophy is based on three important principles. First and foremost our goal is provide the best customer service possible to our valuable clients. We treat your business as if it was our own because we value your trust and business. Secondly is our design approach: simple, effective, and powerful. We firmly believe that websites today are way to full of distractions. Over done flash, gratuitous imagery, poor use of color, and difficult navigation all take away from the important message you need a user to focus on when they visit your site. Third is to create web traffic that generates leads and additional business. We pride ourselves on designing websites that not only look professional but are effective.

Customer Service

Where ever you, your business or organization is located, we stay in close contact throughout the development process. We take the time to get to know you and your organization's goals, products/services, competitors, and customers so that we can be responsive to your needs and goals. We pride ourselves on delivering a quality product that meets your demanding expectations.

Simplicity/Intuitive:

Simple, smartly styled, useable designs are the fundamental principles that make successful websites. Overdone sites that are difficult to use create a negative user experience. Our goal is to create and effective balance of form and style that will keep your users satisfied.

Step two - Outline: The outline phase depending on project scope consists of a site map and images. A rough design will be created from the specifications gathered in the discovery phase. The site map demonstrates navigation, style, and textual look and feel. These prototypes establish the foundation for the actual site development which, upon client review the outline will be modified from your feedback.

Step three - Prototype: The prototype will be put in code and placed in a testing contain for user acceptance testing and project refinement. Rigorous end to end testing occurs for syntax in all browsers.

Step four - Production: Once testing is completed the project will be implemented on the web on the scheduled release date. Traffic and performance analysis begins.
