Web Site Design Philosophy

There are lots of web designers to choose from. You probably have many questions. How do designers differ? What's the difference between a web page and a printed page? Putting the technical aspects aside, we firmly believe that you, as a successful business person, know basically how you need to run and present your business. Our goal is to listen to you describe what and how you do what you do and then translate that into the medium of a series of web pages. We want your web site to reflect you.

We believe the more you know about how we develop Web sites, the more likely you'll become a client. For starters, we differ from many competitors in the following key areas:

Third-Generation Web Sites

We help your business or organization communicate who you are, what you do, and why visitors to your web site should do business with you. Our guide is Simple is Smart.

The Internet makes it easier to deliver more communications faster. But more isn't always better. We believe you're smart to keep communications simple, expressed in your own distinctive, Personal Voice.

A consistent Personal Voice enhances your enterprise's identity and its character. Without one, you might find your messages unheard or ignored in the daily deluge of other words and images.

A small and growing number of web designers use Third-Generation Designs that thoughtfully describe what your web site should convey, and place great care in how it's presented.

Third-Generation Web Sites also address the following:

Dynamic Web Sites

A Web site enables your enterprise to publish timely information. A web site can justify its cost many times over if it's kept up to date. It can be very cost-efficient compared to traditional ways of distributing the same information.

Many designers act as if web sites consist of attractive pages exclusively. Their deliverables are computer files (each file is called a Web page) written using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).

Even carefully designed pages are as static as a brochure. Clients change content by paying designers to do it or learn HTML and do it themselves.

Pages not kept up to date will become relatively useless fast. If your site doesn't maintain useful information on it, users won't return once novelty has worn off, no matter how attractive it is. As the old saying says: "Pretty is as pretty does."

We specialize in developing dynamic web sites. We use design templates to create sites that combine attractive designs with up-to-the minute information.

Introduction to Web Pages

We help businesses communicate who they are, what they do, and why customers should do business with them. Our business premise and guiding philosophy is Simple is Smart.

The Internet makes it easier and faster to produce more communications. But more doesn't necessarily mean better. We believe it's always smart to keep communications simple, expressed in your own distinctive, Personal Voice.

A unified Personal Voice can build on a business's identity and help define its character. Without one, a business might find its messages lost in a barrage of words and images that go mostly unheard or ignored.

We offer four Standard Web Site Packages at affordable prices. We're sure we can adapt one of these to meet your business, organization, or personal needs.

You don't need to have a computer to tap the power of the Internet. But those with computers -- higher income, educated potential customers -- can find you and contact you from all over the globe.

Putting your organization's Web site on the Internet requires two fees: one to a Web page designer and creater, and the other to your Internet Service Provider (abbreviated ISP) who stores your Web "pages" (which make up your Web site) on its Web server computer, and displays them to anyone in the world who wants to view them.

Description of One Page Package -- $295

This is just right for a basic "presence" on the Internet. Professionals like attorneys or consulting engineers sometimes choose this size, which includes about 250 words of text, two scanned pictures, and three links to external pages. Home businesses, too, find this Web site package attractive.

A retail store might compare this to the price of a display ad in a periodical targeted toward better educated, higher-income people. Your Internet ad, however, can be seen 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

You describe your product or services, and give your phone number, fax number, address, etc. so the world knows how to reach you. We will also make a "clickable" link to your E-mail address.

Your fee is $295. Additional pages are $115 each.
