Web Design Services
A good website can be many times more effective than a brochure, delivering the exact type and amount of information that a user desires.
Web-specific design factors:
- choosing the style, fonts, and other visual elements to make a site appealing,
- creating catchy graphics or animated images,
- usability,
- accessibility.
Web designers are responsible for everything from designing a website's "look and feel" to incorporating features such as
- e-commerce,
- search engine optimization,
- interactive applications.
A web designer's job is to make a website functional and pleasurable for the user.
A web developer's job is to make a website work properly and function the way the owner desires.
There is an overlap between website design and development since websites are fundamentally interactive. Even at the most basic level, someone viewing a website can click links or buttons to navigate around the site.
As a rule of thumb, you can assume that the more interactive a web site is, the more development is required for it. A site displaying information that doesn't change requires practically no development, whereas a website that allows visitors to send messages, buy things, add photos and interact with a calendar will require a substantial amount of development.
If database and/or e-commerce solutions are part of your package, we will collect the necessary information from you (i.e. prices, merchandise descriptions) and will add the features you decided on: shopping carts, credit card verification, automatic inventory, customer tracking, etc.
We use other forms of information, such as brochures, print advertisements, or other documents, and turn them into multimedia and web experiences.
You want a Web site that looks great! But you also want one that works to grow your business.
