Let's start at the Beginning
We'll work with you to register your domain name (www.your-site.com) and find you a host to meet your site's needs. Together we'll define the goals and objectives of your web site. Maybe you want an e-commerce site, or a lead generator. Maybe you want to use your site to position your company as an industry leader? You tell use where you want to go, and weêll take you there.
Project Management
Without proper management, deadlines are missed, budgets are blown, and time and money are wasted. We'll work with you from the beginning to define the project requirements and see them through completion to ensure success.
The Not So Basic Basics Elements of a Good Website
Navigation, Architecture and Usability
Have you ever been to a site, clicking around and find you have no idea how you got there or worse, how to get out? The session usually ends with a closed browser window and possibly a lost customer.
How a visitor gets around your site and the hierarchy of information must, must, must be perfectly clear.
We'll design with visual cues for your visitors. Links will look different than other content. Navigation will be consistent throughout the web site and won't go missing on pages. Visitors will know where they are and we wonêt leave them guessing if they clicked on the right link like some sites do.
Site maps are also useful for users and they are great SEO tools!
Defining Your Audience
Are we designing for customers and partners? Are they over 55? If so, font size might be a consideration.
Are we designing for people with the latest and greatest machines and plug-ins? Or for people who haven't upgraded their browser in 10 years? For an 800 resolution monitor or larger?
You know your audience, we know the web. We can answer these together.
Design
Every company is different and has its own personality. Your web site will be the same.
We don't use pre-fab templates. We create your design for you.
We do however design with the following in mind for all of our sites:
Content
Content truly is king on the web. It's what keeps visitors coming back for more and why they will bookmark your site. Without good content the best looking site in the world will also be the least visited.
Search engines also demand good, relevant content to serve to their users. Without it your site will have a very difficult time getting ranked well in search engines.
Without good content it's a double whammy. We'll make sure your site is whammy free.
Testing
Building web sites is demanding of us and you. We wouldn't dream of releasing your site to the word without testing it on multiple browsers, platforms and resolutions to be sure that it displays as best as possible for your visitors.
Maintenance
Sites need continuous updating and improvement. Browse around the web and you will see many web sites looking dated with obsolete content. We don't want this to be you.
We'll provide maintenance on an as-needed or contract basis, depending on your needs. We also offer content management systems if you care to make changes to pages yourself.
Standards
Think Green Media designs with standards. This is to make certain that your web site displays best in today's web browsers and tomorrow's.
