We create web sites.
We strive to work with our clients to create sites that are engaging and focus on clean and functional designs that meet web standards.
People don’t come to a website to look at pictures of your cat. Or those flowery elements at the side of the page that have butterflies burst forth every five seconds.
They come for the content, for the information that you can provide about your business, your product or your service.
We know this.
And we know how to craft our sites around your content to lure visitors to make that transition from interested surfer to paying customer.
We build sites around your content. The first step is to sit down with you and work on the content first. You help us to learn about your business, your goals and your struggles, both your strengths and your weaknesses. We study your competition and help you to surpass them. We become partners in developing your online business using more than ten years experience working with the web. As a team we can build a strong online component to your business knowing that by helping you to succeed that you will help us to succeed. We care about our customers and want clients that love what we do together as a team.

How we work:
1. Plan it
No design can start without first sitting down and planning your site. Planning includes research, content review and creation. This is in many ways the most important part of the process. We believe that a beautifully designed site with the proper planning beforehand is how you create a successful website. That planning defines the market, the audience, and the design of the site.
2. Design it
This is where we take all that we have learned and begin to design a stunning site. We design the User Interface and User Experience, including how the visitor navigates the site, and is funneled toward a goal be it a sale, a sign up or just a phone call. This is the stage where talent, creativity and experience come together.
We design several mock-ups. These are static graphical layouts of how we feel the site should be designed, look and feel to work best for your business. We review this with you, make changes, and work toward a final approved version. It is important in this step to work together as a team, to listen to each other and work toward a design that you feel represents you business needs and that we know will work in this always changing digital world.
3. Build it
Once we have both settled on a design that we feel will work comes the actual nitty gritty. The site build. This is where we take the design and turn it into a functioning, hand-coded standards compliant site. A site that will work across various platforms, and various browsers.
We are experts with more than 10 years experience at building sites. We use XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and a myriad of other web technologies that you don’t have to worry about to create your site and get it working online. Many of our sites are built on a content management system (CMS) that allows you to manage, edit, and add to the site as your business grows and changes.
4. Launch it
Once the site is built it is time to launch it and set it free on the net. Along with this we submit it to search engines and help you to share the word about your new site, it’s new features, products or capabilities. We can help you write press releases, blog about it or Tweet it to help spread the word and drive in new visitors.
5. Maintain it
Just because the site is online does not mean our work, nor your work is complete. The site must be updated, tweaked, analyzed and maintained in the weeks, months and years following it’s launch. We install tracking software that lets us monitor and analyze the site’s traffic: how visitors are using the site, what they are clicking on, what they are not looking at and can then tweak and tailor the site to generate the most goal conversions: sales, contacts, sign-ups, or whatever those goals may be.
