Technicalities
We use Microsoft Expression* Web Design software, in conjunction with Visual Web Developer to create great-looking web pages that are compliant with the W3C specifications.
We can create stunning Flash type movies and slide shows for your site.
We test our pages in multiple web browsers to ensure that all users can view your site.
Good web design doesn't just happen...
We carefully craft your site
First and foremost is attention to detail. Photos and other images are carefully
sized and optimized for the best mix of quality and small file size. This
decreases the length of time that your customers spend waiting for the page to
load. We had very slow dialup internet access in our own home for many years. We
know how aggravating it can be to wait while bloated web sites load into the
browser.
Good communication is the first priority.
Many web designers come from a programming background and have little knowledge of how to write in a way that clearly communicates a company's attributes. We strive to write in a way that sells your product or service while doing our best to improve your chances of being properly cataloged by Google and the other search engines.
An important part of good communication is helping your customers find what they're looking for on your site. We never create a page that does not link back to the rest of the site so that nobody gets lost in cyberspace while on your site, regardless of what page the search engines bring them to.
Communication
should be inclusive
When modern web browsers first appeared, designers had no choice but to use "tables" for the layout of their designs. Most of the pages we create now use "Cascading Style Sheets" (CSS) for layout instead. With CSS, the pages are much more readable by the hearing impaired, using software that reads the text from the page. In addition, the software that reads the pages for inclusion into search engine databases can more accurately catalog CSS pages.
