We primarily do business websites in 4 categories:
- Standard Informational Websites. Sometimes called glorified business cards.
These can be simple, for a few hundred dollars or can showcase hundreds of
products and services, be graphically beautiful, and cost a lot more.
- e-Commerce Websites. These can sell either items or services. You can use a
simple payment method such as PayPal or your own merchant service account. We
can support real-time shipping charges such as UPS and Federal Express.
- Professional Websites. Professionals such as attorneys and medical providors
have different requirements than do merchants. Frequently these requirements
focus on scheduling. Scheduling can be done internally by employees or open to
clients, so they can make their own appointments. If you need a customized database
application or Web Services, we are the experts.
- Corporate Websites. Every business has different requirements. What does your
business need that people say can't be done or is too expensive to do? Odds are
we can do it, within your budget.
Website design is more than picking a template and changing the text. Here's
why:
- Most templates are designed by graphic artists using tools that do not
generate good code. The result is hundreds of syntax errors and deprecated
words. If your command of the English language is not very good and much of what
you know was learned from a book written 1000 years ago, you should not expect
most people to understand what you are saying. Similarly, if the template you
pick has hundreds of errors and deprecated words, why would you expect Google,
Yahoo, Bing and other search engines to properly read your website. If Google
can’t understand your website, how can Google index it so people can find your
website? Furthermore, if your website is riddled with errors, odds are it only
looks right in one browser. Perhaps that browser is the Internet Explorer 7,
but what about the people who are using Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox or
Safari, the other 40% of your website visitors?
- Many templates rely on images rather than text. Unless you are skilled in
Photoshop and have the original PSD's ( which are often conviently forgotten )
you are going to spend days modifying these images. When you are done, your
template now doen’t look very good any more.
- Most templates have nothing in the page description, title and kewords, which
severely limits you're search engine optimization. You eventually hire a Search
Engine Optimization expert to fix it, when it would have been easier and cheaper
to do it right in the first place.
Please don't mis-understand, templates are great. This website started as a
template. Then we put 60 hours into it, making it OUR website, not some generic
substitute.
We take the time and have the skills necessary to create more than a pretty
website. For example, we recommend against putting your email address in your
website. We use a form which generates an email to you, but spammers can't see
your email, they are stuck with filling out the form every time they want to
spam you, you may see 2 or 3 junk emails a week, not 2 or 3 thousand. We are
local, so you never have to worry about hidden code in your website that puts
spyware onto your customer's computers.
Please call us or fill in the form on our Contact page. We would like to give
you a quote for a quality website.
