Style and Function
Meeting Your Goals
We produce websites that combine an efficient structure with a style that reflects your company and appeals to your audience. The goal is to convey your brand message quickly and clearly. All of our websites are built to look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices (see mobile-friendly design), and all of our websites are built using SEO best practices to ensure that you can maximize your search engine rankings. A strong foundation not only helps your immediate performance but also will save you much heartache and money in the future. Which brings us to...
Introducing Joomla
So let's talk about that foundation. Building your site on a Content Management System (CMS) ensures that your site can grow along with your business. It provides a very easy way for content (blog articles, additional site pages) and functionality (ecommerce, user registration, etc.) to be added down the road. Using a common CMS also means that many features such as SEO optimizations, site security, and user management are either built-in or easily added, reducing costs substantially. Why reinvent the wheel?
We generally build our sites on the Joomla CMS. Joomla is a popular, open-source CMS which means you can easily find developers who can work with your site. Why Joomla over Wordpress or Drupal? Joomla hits the sweet spot between ease of use and flexibility/power. Wordpress is the easiest to use but at the expense of overall customization and functionality. Drupal offers the most advanced features but at the expense of development time/cost. Using Joomla allows us to provide you with custom designs and powerful features that would cost much, much more to develop for Wordpress or Drupal. Is your existing site already built on Wordpress? No problem. Migrating content between CMS's is generally a simple procedure.
What About E-Commerce?
From sites offering subscription services to custom content to massive online stores with hundreds of products and categories, we built ecommerce sites that allow you to easily manage inventory, add/remove products, and manage content such as blogs. Depending on the size of your store and product/checkout options you need, we will either use Joomla or Magento as a base for your site.
Security / Reliability / Compatibility
Protecting you and your clients' data is of paramount importance. We offer security features such as SSL encryption, firewalls with country-blocking, and multi-factor authentication in order to keep your information safe. Our code utilizes HTML5, CSS3, up-to-date javascript, and maintains W3C compliance. We make sure the site looks great and functions properly on any device and in 95% of browsers (minimum).
Our sites have a great track record with regards to uptime. We offer multiple backup and maintenance plans that will ensure your business doesn't miss a beat in the unlikely event of an outage.
Price and Value
Admit it. You didn't read anything above this ;) We get it. So let's talk about website costs, price, and your bottom line. The short answer is that there is no short answer. Every company's needs and goals are different. There is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to web design. Your website is an investment, and our goal is to provide you the maximum return on that investment. A "cheap" website that doesn't generate traffic or doesn't convert visitors into customers is a terrible investment. Likewise, an expensive website with average performance is also not ideal.
Our philosophy: Be the best value.
