- creating a site structure that allows users to easily navigate your pages
Graphic Design
In addition to great content, you'll also want a top quality design that creates the image you want to communicate to your visitors.
The color scheme, graphic elements and type styles used in your web site will convey a specific tone and image to the visitor. Whether you want to present yourself as powerful and professional, serene and spiritual or funky and hip, we will create a custom look for your site. We can work with any existing graphics you already use in your marketing materials, or we can begin from scratch.
We won't just create a graphic to match your style. We'll also make sure that:
- your site has quick-loading pages
- visitors can easily navigate your site
- visitors can easily find the information or products they want
- the site works well with different web browsers and platforms
the site is easy to find by being ‘search engine friendly’, which means making sure your pages are content-rich. Search engines may not list you at all if you have an all-graphics home page!
Website extras
While I can appreciate a creative web site with fancy flash animation, I am also aware that the design must serve the content and not overwhelm it. Your visitors want information about you, or to buy your products and services, or to contact you. We will ensure that the information they want is easy to find.
We can add things to make your site to give it some bling in the form of button rollovers, pop-up menus, simple gif animations and Flash animations. But we’ll only add these if the bling doesn’t get in the way of your visitor’s quest for information.
Videos and music have become more popular than ever on websites if you want or need to make your site a little more interactive this is a great way to do it. We are fully capable of adding whatever media you want.
Web Site Makeovers
If you currently have a web site, but it needs a facelift? Perhaps your current site is hard to use or hasn’t brought you the visibility or business you want. Maybe the search engines don’t find it reliably. We excel at redesigning existing sites to make them even better and more effective. Contact us for more information about our make-over service.
Site Maintenance and Updating
Adding frequently updated, fresh content to your site is the key to bringing visitors back to your site again and again. Fresh content also is an important part of staying ‘visible’ to search engines — some search engines may even drop you if you don’t update your content!
