Services – Web Design & Development

How can a Web design be sleek, durable, and functional?

Sleek

Don't make the most clicked button on your site be “skip intro.” Customers come to your site to get something done. Don't lock them out by clogging up the pipe with bloated files. We can help you make your site efficient and fast, like a hybrid Ferrari.

Durable

Go ahead, drag —› the window open, squeeze ‹— it into one corner. “Durable” is a site that looks good on your wide-screen HD TV as well as in the palm of your hand on your mobile phone.

Web standards continue to evolve to keep pace with innovation. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow us to separate design from content elements. A style sheet is a set of rules that the browser uses to display your content. Different style sheets can be used to format the same content for presentation on a computer screen, a mobile phone, or a printer.

»View this page with the CSS turned “off” to see the content in its simplest form. It may not be pretty, but the information is there, the story gets told, the job gets done.

Technology will continue to change, but your message remains constant. Don't fall for “flashy” fads that will need to be redesigned every time something new comes along. And if your site still uses FRAMES or TABLES contact us now for help!

Functional

The Web is more than just pages.

Your Web site is your storefront. A restaurant may have a hostess at the door, or take your order at a drive-thru window; however, the underlying function remains constant: get your message across to your customers, show them what you have to offer, and give them an easy way to let you know what they want. It's all about efficient communication. We can help you create a Web strategy that allows communication to happen.

Longboat in surf

In the days of sailing ships, a vessel would carry several boats for various uses. One would be a longboat... Unlike the dinghy or the cutter, the longboat would have fairly fine lines aft to permit its use in steep waves such as surf or wind against tide where need be.[1] wikipedia.org
