We treat each client as if they're our only client.

Our Methodology

We don't just pull great web sites out of thin air - there's a methodology we follow to ensure you get exactly what you want. From our initial meeting to the unveiling of the final product, we work closely with you every step of the way. The end result - a web site that looks great, gives users easy access to information, and functions flawlessly.

1. Research & Information Architecture

We learn everything we can about your company, from your business model and brand to key marketing messages and technical needs. If you've already got a web site, we'll study that, too. Then we'll take all that information and develop a robust information architecture that's all-inclusive and user-friendly. We'll also do a competitive analysis so you can be sure your new web site is tops in your industry!

2. Wireframes

Next, we create wireframes - drawings that show the general layout of the home page and interior pages. Each one shows where the navigation, header, footer, images, and text are situated on the page. We'll make any adjustments you request until you're completely satisfied.

3. Visual Design

Once the wireframes are approved, we start creating the visual design. Our expertise in Photoshop and other graphic programs allows us to develop beautiful, unique designs. And we'll make sure your web site coordinates perfectly with your other marketing collateral.

4. Page Coding (XHTML & CSS)

After the visual design is completed, we start coding and assembling the pages. No layout tables here - we build our web sites to W3C web standards, with valid XHTML and CSS. And we make sure each page can be viewed properly in each of the major web browsers.

5. Application Development

We can program practically any web application you need - from simple contact forms to dynamic job postings and events calendars. Our applications are powered with open source technologies such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, and MySQL, and we test each one thoroughly to make sure it works like it's supposed to. And, yes, we offer e-commerce and content management systems, too, so you can sell online and update your own site, if you like.

6. Content Editing

Content is key - it's what keeps your user reading and coming back for more. We make sure your marketing message gets across, whether we write it ourselves or just edit what you give us. And we can optimize your content so that your web site ranks high on Google and gets seen by as many people as possible.

7. Testing & Quality Assurance

We don't let any of our web sites or applications go online until they're thoroughly tested. We make sure our code is clean, the applications function properly, and the content is clear and concise. When you're happy, then we're happy.
