Web Design
Our comprehensive set of Web services include: strategic planning, art direction, programming, page layout, graphic design, Web video, Flash animation, and database development.
We are unrelenting when it comes to creating websites with extremely clean code. By separating the Web's structure (HTML) and design (CSS), we can create websites that are extremely sound and very easy to update.

Content Management Systems: WordPress, Drupla and Joomla
A content management system (CMS) creates a collaborative work environment where clients can manage and update their websites on their own through a user-friendly admin panel. Image the cost savings from NOT having to go back to the designer for every small update.
Initially, CMS development was cost prohibitive for most small to medium businesses. Now, through open source programs like WordPress, Drupla, and Joomla, a CMS Website can be extremely cost effective. Image a restaurant that can update their menus on a weekly basis. A car dealership that can refresh their inventory pages every day -- every hour! Any business that needs to update pages on a consistent basis should investigate CMS.
We can create your CMS Website using pre-developed or custom templates. Although creating custom templates is typically more expensive than a traditional Website, long-term cost savings quickly offset the initial startup costs!

With global mobile phone use at an all time high, there has been a surge of interest in developing Web sites that are accessible from mobile devices. If you have an existing Website (pre-2008) it is probably only optimized for desktop size displays, and rely on the capabilities of desktop browsing software. Accessing your Web pages on a mobile device often results in poorly displayed or unusable pages. We can help. We can create a mobile content area that mirrors your entire Website or just a few select pages. For example, a restaurant may only want to convert their home, contact, and menu pages. A consulting firm may wish to convert their entire Website.
Here is an example, go to this site on your computer and change the window size to whatever you want and the site adapts and looks great. It even automatically adjusts the navigation when the browser is squeezed to mobile phone size.
Database Development
For Websites requiring large page counts and/or many product options, an intelligent database design and development is a very good idea. Our programmers expertise fall into two database categories: 1) ASP/SQL for large enterprise level applications, and 2) PHP/mySQL for general, and small to medium business applications.

And when it's ready to launch, we can help promote your site through SEO, SEM and Internet marketing.
