Web Development Services

Okay, who isn't offering you web development services these days?

HTML coding, establishing links, page layout, continuity: all that stuff's a snap.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has an eager crew on staff to help you get your webpage up and running, usually for free as part of your service package.

What we've found that people really want is a quick, hassle-free and affordable goal-centered partner to help them define exactly what they hope to accomplish with their web presence, to make them aware of what they can do, to develop a reasonable game plan, and then to execute that plan clearly, cleanly and appealingly. In some cases, all people want is a thorough editing or maybe just a review of what's already been accomplished. Sometimes people only want a little bit of help, not a big hairy deal requiring a contract the size of the New York City phone book.

We'll be happy to help.

And if what you really want is beyond the abilities of our schooled and talented staff, we'll be the first to tell you.

Let us know what you have in mind and we'll toss around some ideas with you, such as:

  • Is a newsletter right for you?
  • Should you create a static site, or should you change your content every so often?
  • What can we do to make your site unique?
  • Should you host an event or forum on your site?
  • If you're promoting a business or service, should you offer a "Special" or discount to your visitors?
  • If you're selling, what level of delivery will work best for you: hard or soft?
  • Are services such as an autoresponder right for you?
  • How about including content of a personal nature, should you or shouldn't you?

We offer free initial consultation(s). We need to be sure that what you want and what we offer are compatible. Our hourly rates will surprise you. We'll create a project timetable if your project's a good match for us, and we promise you'll work with the same human(s) throughout the assignment. If you'd like to talk about your web goals, please click here to email us. Meanwhile, here are a few more things to think about:

  • Keep it simple.
  • Avoid as many of the whirlygigs and flashing do-dads as is humanly possible.
  • Why does your website exist? Be ready to state your purpose clearly.
  • Jargon-rich or simple and direct, make sure you write to your audience.
  • Are testimonials of some sort called for?
  • Would a What's New feature work for you?
  • How can you let your winning personality shine through?
