We design and develop websites that are inspiring, functional, easy to navigate and rank for the search engines to bring you more traffic and ultimately more customers. We bring your ideas to life and provide your company a website that will allow you to take full advantage of the internet.
Our website projects follow a common development path which is geared for a no questions – no surprises approach to building a creative and successful design with a functional website structure. From brand development sites, to fully functional content managed, to search engine optimized websites, we deliver solutions that meet our customers requirements and beyond.

Personalized Design Process
Every website project we take on is different and so are our type of clients and their requirements. We do however follow a basic set of phases for each project to keep it uniform enough to develop websites on average in between 1 – 3 weeks.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
We begin with each website design client by going through an extensive interview with our staff (over the phone or in person). We get an overview of your company and gain an understanding and appreciation for what your company does, how it’s doing, and the challenges you face. We then help define your goals with you. We then develop an effective proposal plan that we use to guide us through the process of developing your website’s brand and online marketing strategy.
BUSINESS RESEARCH
We never jump into a web site design project for our clients without sufficient research. Without a web designer who conducts this research, problems can easily arise down the road. We begin by researching your industry and company background – building a picture and using our experience of the online market to put together a defined profile to ensure maximum results.
CONCEPTUALIZATION
We typically deliver a mock-up of the new website 3-5 days after the proposal is signed. After reviewing the design we email to you, we schedule a time a day or two out, where we discuss your thoughts and input. We then take your feedback into account and rework the website mock-up and deliver to you for further review. See our custom web design portfolio of work for examples.
CODING INTO ACTION
A website design is nothing without proper coding that works for the major internet browsers and their older versions; Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera to name a few. During this stage we will keep you updated of your website’s progress and its’ milestones.
CONTENT INTEGRATION / LAUNCH
Now for the good part – going live with your brand new website! With your site now coded and tested, we check for cross-browser compatibility of every element of the website. From graphics, text, navigation to flash we check every detail. We then move on to integrating textual and imagery content to publish the completed work. Keep in mind we offer professional copywriting services.
We then supply you with a private location where you can view your new website before we put it live to the world!
WEB MAINTENANCE
When we finish a website, the relationship does not end there! We provide website maintenance packages for a defined monthly rate or with an “as-needed basis”. Maintenance can involve anything from updates to page re-designs of certain elements of your site. An important stage is the monitoring of site visitors, and finding out whether you are hitting the right level of visitors you should be? Our site statistics analysis can determine this and help refine your site to maximize its potential.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
We code each website project with search engine optimization in mind. We use validated XHTML/CSS and stick to the rules of SEO. This is something we do for each customer, however, search engine optimization is more than just a properly coded website but also involves link building and marketing your website online. We ensure basic SEO rules are adhered to with every project – but we can provide additional search engine optimization services to increase your ranking in competitive markets.
