Web Design and Development

Web development, like any other 'craft', is a subjective process, and any one opinion may differ from the next. There is no right or wrong, but we try to lay down some ground rules and a good starting place to build from.

We focus on enhancing your site to reflect on your services, products, or message versus just what looks neat. We typically try to avoid things that have been done a million times before, and are getting a little tired. These might include:

page counters
javascript text scrolling
excessive animated .GIF's
under construction signs
page fade-ins, etc

Page Size - One of the most frustrating things to a person browsing the web is waiting for a site to load. We make sure that your site is relatively quick to load, no matter what is put on it. If you have significantly more text on a page that requires longer download times, we recommend you consider separating it onto separate pages.

Keep It Fresh - We recommend you keep your web site fresh to attract repeat visitors. If a site remains stagnant, people will stop visiting it again and again, but if there is always something new, people will often drop by just to see what's changed.

We recommend you update the site with new information or graphics at least every few months. If the site looks different every time somebody visits, they'll be more inclined to come back again.
