Planning Your Website
One of the most important parts of web design is planning. You may already have some thoughts about why you want a website, but thorough planning will refine your thoughts, help generate new ideas, and guarantee you'll pay the best price. You'll spend less money by getting the website right from the start.
Fast Loading
How many times have you left a website frustrated because it took forever to load, or you couldn't find the information you wanted?
We'll keep your graphics fast loading, and break up the content into logical, manageable pages.
Easy to Navigate
We study how people read and navigate on the internet. We'll take your content and format it specifically to make it easy to read. The important information on your website will be easy to find.
The Website Planning Guide
We have developed a Website Planning Guide that helps you to define goals for your website, and to identify and describe your target audience.
Each section of the Guide focuses on a different part of the project - your target audience, your competition, your strengths, and sites that will help you attract your audience.
As we work with you to complete the Website Planning Guide, we research many aspects of your particular market niche. This ensures that your site will be competitive.

Site Design
We work to create an appropriate look and feel for your site. We organize the content so that material is easy to find, and the site is pleasing to navigate.
We plan for easy site maintenance, and ensure that your website is accessible to persons with disabilities.
If you want we can conduct usability testing on your site.
Domain Name
If you already have a domain name, we can transfer it to the webhost for you.
If you do not have a domain name we would be happy to research the possibilities and make recommendations. We use keyword tools to select domain names that have high volume of searches, but less competition that similar terms.
When we register the domain name for you, we always make sure you are listed as the owner of the name so you do not have to worry that you might lose control of your website. So if you choose to hire another web designer in the future you would have full access to your website and domain name.
Web Hosting
If you do not have a server we can arrange web hosting for you. We recommend Tiger Technologies. Tigertech provides access to an easy email control panel and site statistics to keep track of the effectiveness of your website. We have worked with them for over 5 years and found them to be professional, intelligent, helpful, and competitively priced.
You can also read some hosting reviews so you can get a better ideas of all the hosting providers out there. Web Hosting Reviews
SEO
We optimize your site and individual pages for the Search Engines during construction, rather than as an afterthought. After the site is live, we submit it to the important free Search Engines. If you choose, we can execute a more elaborate or paid inclusion strategy.
Site Maintenance
We can make changes to your site on request.
If you would like to update and maintain your own site, we can recommend and help you set up content management software. We recommend Adobe Contribute.
Site Evaluation and Redesign
Perhaps you already have a website. We may be able to help you with a site evaluation or site re-design.
