Our services include developing and implementing all elements on your website, from organizing your materials into a logical sequence, to graphic design, to getting you onto the web.

Flash animation design
If designed and presented well, flash animation on your  web site can create a perception of instant credibility and professionalism. Typically, the more Flash content you have, the more expensive your web site will appear. Even the smallest amount of flash added to your home page will create a different customer experience. Flash elements have a way of grabbing visitor attention, and our specialty is to use them to effectively deliver high impact sales messages. We turn complex Flash elements into "web page salespeople".
Utilizing your branding and marketing material and messages we can create enticing Flash intros, logos, headers, and entire web sites, to serve as your "silent salespeople".

Content Writing for Websites
One of the most difficult aspects of putting a small business  website together can be writing the content.

If needed, we can put you in touch with affordable website content writers that can present your business to your website visitors in a professional way. |

Domain name registration
The website's domain name is what most people refer to as  a "website address", such as "www.yourcompanyname.com". Website domain names are registered through separate companies known as domain registrars. We can assist you in registering a domain name with the proper organization, and also help you choose a name that will help customers find your website more easily. We strongly suggest using a reputable registrar such as Network Solutions, rather than one of the "discount" companies. You will pay a few dollars more per year, but it can save you a lot of hassle in the long run. |

Search engine placement and website promotion
Having your website listed with the search engines (Google,  MSN, Yahoo, etc.) can be an important step in creating a visible online identity.
We have the experience necessary to "optimize" your website in a manner that can help your website's ranking in the search engines and bring you more traffic.

Website hosting
Website files reside on special computers (known as  "servers") that are hooked into the internet 24 hours a day. These servers are maintained by hosting companies. We can arrange reliable website hosting services that will keep your site online and accessible to the public at all times.
We strongly suggest avoiding the "free" or reduced fee services, since these are often unreliable and may include irritating pop-up ads that distract the user from your own website. |
