Time
With so many web design products on the market, it's easy to assume that you too can construct a website in record time. Keep in mind, though, that with web
development comes computer-aided graphic design, general layout, nested tables,
forms, database design and connectivity, troubleshooting, and maintenance. A
small 8-10-page information website that includes a contact information form, newsletter signup, and a few PDF files or Microsoft Word documents can take the
average novice "webmaster" several weeks or even a month or two to build. Like
children, new webmasters are often very proud of their accomplishments, but the
rest of the world can usually spot a novice web design or cheesy website template within seconds. Worse, the new webmaster learns that it is incredibly
time-consuming, and many report becoming "addicted" and "losing track of time"
during their do-it-yourself web design projects. This means that if your
business is growing, you probably won't be nurturing the business during your web development project, and worse, your site will look like you made it.
If your business is growing, then you will quickly learn that your website may need tweaking. Navigational menu items (and corresponding pages) may need to be
created in record time because you didn't know what to look for when initially constructing your site. You may need to redesign your site FAST if you have an
important client on the hook. Do you have time to prepare for your sales pitch (including the paperwork) and redesign your site?
Money
Business owners and managers find it less expensive to consult with an outside web development team. With the rising cost of employee benefits, you'll
find that these issues don't factor into the equation of bringing skilled professionals to the board meeting, meaning you don't have to pay for a year's
salary, health care, sick time, vacation time, etc. to get the expertise you need. You pay only for the work performed for you, and with this, you get
skilled, experienced professionals, often more than one, who lend a great deal of expertise at a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house web development
team. Even more beneficial is that a professional web development team knows how to help you organize your business information, and can work with you to prepare
your site for potential areas of growth that may be unforeseen to you in the beginning of the project.
Longevity
We don't just design sites and discard them to a basic portfolio as though it were an art show. We take time to understand the challenges
before carefully constructing a strategy or implementing design or code. Some of our clients have been with us since we began back in 1994, and
they stay because we have not only earned their trust, but have worked very hard to maintain it.
Individualized Attention
You may notice that the sites we build rarely, if ever, resemble each other. This is because we craft websites with our clients' needs in mind, and never work from cookie-cutter templates. To see the difference, take a minute to review our Case Studies.
Our Specialties
Idea To Reality
Have a great idea, and want to put it to work online? We can take your concept, and develop it into a full featured, turn key commercial
website ready to earn revenue. We will use your idea to develop all aspects of your project such as initial planning (site blueprint),
graphics, technical writing, HTML and client side programming, database and server side programming, testing, debugging, and launch.
We design websites as stand alone applications, which do not require any special software or skills to maintain. During development, our goal is
to minimize the time spent by you or your employees on day to day management of your online business. By spending less time
on administrative tasks, you can focus more on business development and driving traffic.
Custom Administration Panels
Our custom administration panels will allow you to manage your business quickly and efficiently.
You won't need to call us to add or modify an important sentence or paragraph. In many cases, you also won't need to contact us to manage your orders, products, images, or customer database.
Navigation Systems That Focus On Growth
With each new business level that you reach, you won't always be able to predict which products or services are going to come into or out of the spotlight. A
custom navigation system that takes growth into account at the beginning will allow you to grow when you need to grow, without a structural modification to
the site as a whole.
E-Commerce / Online Payment Systems
The requests we have received for ecommerce/shopping carts are as diverse as the businesses who ask for them. Whatever it is that you're selling, we can create a
way for your customers to buy from you online. From general products and checkouts, to a combination of products, services, and "virtual" products and
memberships, we can set it up for you. Our programming abilities are limited only by your imagination and budget.
Complex Application Development And Installation
No matter how complex your programming needs are, we have the experienced developers who can get the job done. We typically develop
applications using Open Source technologies, which has virtually no functionality or licensing
barriers, allowing us to create a totally custom application doing exactly what you need, and the way you need it. We can test, debug, and
deploy your application on your server or ours, and continue to support it in any way you need.
Migration To Open Source
We have helped hundreds of customers break free from the burden of licensing restrictions, fees and required paid upgrades by converting
their web applications to Open Source. In most cases, migrating to
Open Source not only eliminates unnecessary costs, but also adds more functionality and reliability.
There is virtually no limit to what an Open Source application can do
when compared to its commercial alternatives.
Website Transfer
Our design professionals can move your website to a different web hosting provider or your own in-house server, and give you a piece of
mind that it was done right. Having no downtime or file loss during the transfer would pay for itself many times over.
Webmaster On Call
Even if we did not originally design your site, we can maintain it by performing updates and minor revisions for you on a regular basis or
when needed. Why do it yourself or pay an employee when we can be your webmaster on call?
