Web and Graphic Design

Design of your web site can range from one simple page to many depending on your needs. We will help you determine the type of site you need and plan a layout that fits accordingly.
 
We will create your site using HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, Java, ASP, .NET, Perl, CGI and more. We will create a platform that will allow your users to interact with your site. We will take the time to work with you until the site looks and works the way you want it to.

 

Before a project is started, we will have a meeting to fill out a Web Development Project Survey and discuss:

 

History & Goals you have for your website
Whether any arrangements need to be made concerning domain name and/or hosting
Required Depth and Complexity of the site
Style & Graphical Elements
Type of Content you want to include
Functionality Requirements
Timeframe - Start date and completion of website
Future of your site
After this meeting, we will be able a sample and quote you a price.
 
Four Stages to Creating a Web Site
  1. Planning and Designing the Site
  2. Gathering and/or Creating Content
  3. Creating the Pages
  4. Marketing the Site
 
Below we have added an explanation of each stage to give you a better understanding of the process.

 


Planning and Designing the Site

 

We will meet with you to discuss your goals and ideas. We need to figure out what type of services you will want to include in your site. During this meeting, we will gather information and fill out an Web Site Analysis Questionnaire. We will use this WSAQ to formulize your needs and wants relating to your site. 
 
Things to consider are:
 
*
Content
*
E-mails
*
Graphics
*
Forms
*
Links to other sites
*
Discussion Forums
*
Site Search Engine
*
Other ideas that you may have
 
 

Gathering and/or Creating Content
 
Content is the most important part of any web site. You could have the best designed site on the web, but if you do not have great content, your web site will not succeed. Ask yourself, what will make visitors return to my site? Then, ask yourself, what will make them return a second, third and fourth time? These are the factors you will want to address when putting together the core of your site, THE CONTENT!
 
Content can consist of Graphics, Text, Links, Audio, Video...
 
Content may come from information that you or your company creates and information that you buy or license.
 

Creating the Pages
 
Once we decide what will be included in the site, we will begin to create the pages using HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, Java, ASP, .NET, Perl, CGI,...
 
This stage consist of several draft reviews, as well as, content and change deadlines to insure that the project is completed within a realistic timeframe. 
 
After development, we will publish the website to your web server and begin testing.

 

Marketing the Site
 
After a site is completed and live on the web, 100% of your energy must be turned to marketing.
 
You must get web users to know that your site exist and why they should visit.
 
The most effective way to get the word out, is to submit your site to search engines. Search engines use keywords to index your site so that web users can find it. We will help you create the keywords related to your site's content and submit your site to the most widely used Search Engines and Directories.
 
Other possible Marketing methods:
  • Banner Exchange Programs
  • Topic specific Directories
  • Message Boards
  • Newsgroups
  • E-mail Campaigns
  • Current Client lists
  • Radio/TV/Newspaper/Magazine ads
Concentrate on the least expensive first. As your web site grows, you can assign a higher budget amount to try higher priced methods.
 
Marketing your web site is just as important as planning and creation. Many people believe that all they have to do is build it and they will come. They will only come if they know where you are and why they should come.
