Junk eMail Control
The recent increase of junk e-mail messages have fake sender addresses. That means that the email says that it comes from a particular domain (website address), but it doesn't. The victims whose addresses are being faked suffer the consequences as website reputations are diminished, and domain name owners have to disclaim liability for the abuse to those who identify them as the culprits. The additional waste of time sorting through spam and misdirected bounce messages is growing exponentially.

Design
Your website represents your business.
Good design requires more than familiarity with HTML code. The designer must understand your business model and make that model easily accessible to people. All web designers have computer, Internet and technological skills. But the critical skills and experience necessary for website excellence include strategic analysis, writing and communication, marketing, conceptual organization and holistic modeling. Good design is more than a pretty page.
We build custom websites for small businesses and organizations.
Our concern for accessibility, usability and web standards give our sites an important edge. We also insure that our sites are search engine ready, using design and site optimization techniques to provide superior search engine functionality, which means that people looking for what you offer can find you more easily.
Why are web standards important? The bottom line for website owners is that a site built on web standards is lean, clean, CSS-based, accessible, usable and search engine friendly. Max Weakly at Maxdesign has written a detailed article (Web standards checklist) on the topic. Also see Jakob Nielsen's article on Web Standards.
Our website design prices are among the most competitive in the industry.
We make sure that your site meets the most important specifications and guidelines of the W3C. This means writing the code (or markup) for your website in XHTML and using CSS to apply styles. (This means that we use the most effective programming techniques.)
All of our sites use Javascript to hide email addresses from improper use and exploitation. People can use them normally, but email harvesting programs cannot find them.
Redesign / Makeover / Upgrades
Do you have an existing website that just isn't performing as it should? Do you need a better performing website, but can't justify the high cost?
A webiste is a lot like a marriage in that it requires some investment on your part. It doesn't work to simply put up a site and think that will do it. There are billions of websites on the Internet, so the addition of another one means very little — and even less if your site is poorly designed or is not up to the basic standards.
So, if you created a site a few years ago, and it isn't doing much for you, let's talk about it. Getting back in the Internet game may not be as difficult or expensive as you think.
Internet Growth
The Internet has grown rapidly and extensively over the past several years, and it is poised to grow even more in the near future. Is your business or organization ready? Ready or not, it's coming.
The key elements of website design are not splash and flash, but simplicity and clarity. These categories apply to both presentation and navigation.
A website is not a magic bullet, nor is it a business step-child. Rather, at the very least a website is an essential business element, like a Yellow Pages ad or a business brochure. And it must be integrated into your business in order to contribute to your success, and not become an unnecessary expense — or worse, a liability.
Doing it right is always less expensive than doing it over.
Our Approach
Superfluous communication needs to be eliminated and the essential elements highlighted to facilitate rapid understanding and response. Add consistency and web standards to the design, and your site will sing.
The best search engine optimization is built into the essential design, rather than added later. We design to keep peripheral concerns from interfering with essential function. We can also help with website marketing.
The bottom line is that a website can help your bottom line. More than a marketing expense, a website is an investment in your future! Get started by requesting our Website Questionnaire, a Word file that will help determine and organize your website needs.
We can help your success.
