Web Site Design
and Maintenance

PLANNING:

You should think long and hard about your site's purpose and how your users will interact with the it. You do this by getting into the heads of your users. What do they want to know? Where would they want to go?

Planning a web site can be a long process, but an important first step! We can help you in the early planning stages with tips, technical advice, examples and direction. Once you have created a plan, the next step is design.

DESIGNING:

A good design is a significant part of your site. You need to approach it with this in mind. Doing good, upfront thinking about the site's goals will enable us to create an appropriate design system to guide the site's look and feel.

Consider your user's needs! Get inside their head. What do they need from it? How will they navigate through it?
Don't rely too heavily on technology for the sake of technology, using all the "bells and whistles" where they are not really needed. This can annoy and deter your visitor from exploring your site any further. Assess the technologies and tools. Leverage them to your advantage! Choose wisely and your users will be much more happier to continue coming back to your site.

Don't cram too much onto one page. Remember that it's easier to take in a web page when it's well laid-out. It's all a matter of choosing wisely - when there is space around images and text, it's easier for the eye to take in. Similarly, make sure that you don't cram too much text onto the page. Be kind when you approach text layout. You're best off limiting your page's total width so it will fit on a 640x480 monitor.

We can help you to design your site with creative graphics, colors, tiles, fonts, buttons, and other techniques.
