Web Site Design, Development and Hosting

We offer a full suite of services for web design, development and hosting. Starting with our unique marketing-based approach to web development, we take a comprehensive look at your business goals and how your site can help you achieve them in combination with your existing marketing.

Then, we align those goals with the right mix of components, which can include e-commerce, data-driven and service-information sites. All site design packages include our marketing-planning services.

Because we're a design and marketing firm, we do not use canned design approaches, all our sites are custom designed to work with your entire corporate identity for maximum effectiveness. If you have an identity in place, we'll pick up the look and feel as we develop your new site.

Six Levels of Site Design and Development:

– full design development and maintenance (including any programming needed to achieve data-driven site goals)

– site design plus content formatting and templates, you do your own maintenance

– site design templates only, together with Dreamweaver or Contribute, you place and format content, then maintain your own site

– Site design templates only

– CMS templates for Joomla CMS, you place and format content, then maintain your own site

– Web development consulting - you do the work, we design, train and support your efforts

Content Management Solutions

Dreamweaver Web Publishing System - we use industry-standard for about one quarter the site development projects we undertake. Many clients already are familiar with this solution and wish to standardize with it. Smaller sites maintained by a handful of people are best for this solution.

Joomla Open Source CMS. Joomla is powerful open-source (free) software that enables clients to maintain and edit their sites via web browser. You can see a demo of Joomla, at our test site, by clicking here. Joomla is fully editabl: any feature or customization you require can be installed by us or customized by our programmers. From registration systems to e-commerce, from provider directories to job boards, Joomla extensions allow clients the ability to extend their site for a very reasonable development cost. Joomla stores your site's information in a PHP database, so templates (designs) can be changed quickly, without redoing the site! This includes the navigation buttons and links as well – something not found in 99% of the proprietary CMS solutions available in our area from other providers.

About three quarters of our clients choose, or grow into, this option (or another open source CMS such as Drupal). If you are using Joomla 1.04 or higher, we can develop new templates for you to refresh or update your site design.
