Designing a website is much more than just making things look pretty. In fact, it starts with a marketing plan that outlines your mission, goals, audiences, message and vehicles for making it a reality. We will work to meet your objectives. A website is an interface to your ideas. It expresses your business visually. What it tells people and how it communicates is just as important. I approach web design in a holistic fashion, letting who you are, what you want to say and who you want to talk to dictate the outcome. Our work will lead to a successful web design that will be accessible and ready for mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPad or Android phones.
Content management is a combination of process and technology used to present information on the web. A good content management solution will allow you to write, publish and edit content via your website to ensure that your business goals are achieved efficiently and accurately. Having control of the maintenance of your website is empowering and an effective way to make your experience rich and fulfilling.
There are a lot of pieces to consider in a successful website project. Regardless of the size a marketing plan needs to be established, goals need to be set, audiences need to be identified, content needs to be written and interfaces need to be designed. When I sign up to work on a project, I dedicate myself to making the process run smoothly and maintain open communication to minimize any bumps in the road that are likely to pop up.
Blogs are a special beast. If you plan on consistently updating content on your site, a blog can be a great tool. I’ll explain what makes a blog a blog and help you understand if a blog is a solution that will fit your needs and resources. See the blogs that I have developed.
All work that I produce is compliant with the most recent standards set forth by the WWC for XHTML and CSS. Websites are tested in multiple browsers on all common platforms. I use the vastly popular WordPress for blog implementation. The work that I do for Cornell University is produced using CommonSpot as a CMS. For smaller CMS instances I use Expression Engine.
