Graphic Design

Whether you want a simple logo creation, logo modification, redesign of an existing website, or a completely new website; we have the graphic design expertise and tools necessary for accomplishing your goals. A unique and consistent design within all parts of your site, as well as among all of your marketing collateral, creates brand recognition. We are careful to select icons, fonts, banners, logos and phrasing to establish a "look and feel" for your site. Its overall design can very well leave a lasting impression on a visitor to your site, making return visits much more likely.

Site Navigation

In addition to a unique look, it is critical for the site to be easy to navigate. We communicate closely with each of our clients in order to graphically emphasize the areas of your site which are most important; areas that represent critical steps toward leading the guest of your site to purchase your product, or result in whatever the desired outcome of a visit to your site might be. Using unique menu systems, site search capabilities, icons and graphics, and carefully selected text groupings throughout its pages, your customers will be led carefully through your site. If your customer finds your site confusing or difficult to navigate, it is unlikely that they will stay at your site long enough to view all that you have for them to see. Competition on the internet is almost unlimited and site navigation ranks high on the list of priorities which keep visitors coming back.

Site Layout

With the varied number of web browsers in use (Internet Explorer 6.xx, 7.xx, Firefox, and Safari, to name a few) it is extremely important that your site layout be undertaken by someone who understands the idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies of each browser. One of the more difficult tasks for any web designer is to design a site that looks the same in different browsers. There are limitations; however, we explain those at the beginning so that you don't end up with a site which looks good in one browser and unrecognizable in another. If your customer enjoys your site while viewing it on their PC at work, and returns to your site on their Mac after arriving at home; you do not want them to be surprised by any variations.

Database Integration

Database implementation is the backbone of every productive site. If you have products to sell, customer data to acquire, product information to present, or any information which must be organized; a well designed and implemented database is critical for success. We have been designing database systems since the very early days of the personal computer, applying what we have learned to the internet and MySQL databases. If you already have a database in place, we can help integrate or migrate it into an online database. Our databases are designed so that you can administer them. We give you the tools to add, delete, or modify information in your database without our help. This translates into significant savings by not having to rely on high priced maintenance agreements with a web designer. So, if you would like to offer a shopping cart which enables your customers to purchase items at any time of day or night, or provide a complete listing of your products, or just register users for use in subsequent marketing programs; we can create a website that will put your plan into place.

Search Engine Optimization

Once your site is up and running, looking great, and offering your customer an enjoyable and satisfying experience; you are probably going to want to attract more people. It is important to design a site with the most popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN in mind. We have years of experience obtaining the best listings possible on the most popular search engines. We cannot guarantee high placement (you need to avoid anyone who does), but we can design your site to include relevant content and keywords which should result in higher search engine rankings. How these keywords are used and placed within the text of your website is a key factor for how search engines see you, and ultimately how your website is placed in their listings.
