Websites That Look Great and Perform Even Better
First impressions matter. You need a compelling website that invites customers in, educates them about the value of your products and services, and tells a memorable story about you.
But just as important, your website needs to be stable, trustworthy, and fast. Slow loads, incomplete SEO, and poor layout and can lead to bounced traffic and lower placement in search results.
Businesses and government agencies alike will benefit from our holistic design approach. We can help you reach prospects and citizens with a website designed for clarity and tuned for performance.
Your Website Is More Than Just a Billboard
Billboards are static presentations of information. Websites can be so much more. They’re the anchor for your marketing efforts. They can help people find the information they need. They help businesses gather leads and answer customer questions. They host content for use on social media. They can turn prospects into customers and visitors into informed citizens. There’s no end to what they can do.
- Run exclusive specials and discounts
- Showcase positive reviews and engagement
- Share relevant news and critical information
- Create a knowledge base of tutorials, guides, and FAQs
- Host a blog to inform, promote, or persuade your readers
MOBILE
Responsive Design
The days of desktop dominance are over. Today over 58% of website visits happen on mobile devices like phones and tablets. That means if your website isn’t optimized for mobile, you’re missing a large chunk of your total audience. We build responsive designs that automatically adjust their layout to look great no matter what device people are using.
FUNCTIONALITY
Form Follows Function
An architect can’t design a building properly without knowing how it’s going to be used. The same goes for websites. They can’t reach their potential without a thorough understanding of what the owners need them to do, and what their users want from them. That’s why we ask a lot of questions and formulate a detailed plan before a single line of code is written.
MAINTAINABILITY
Off The Shelf
Development companies will sometimes include proprietary code that makes it difficult for anyone else to maintain your site. We don’t do that. We also don’t include components from fly-by-night companies that may go out of date quickly. Instead, we choose only trusted, off-the-shelf software from reputable vendors to guarantee your website a long shelf life.
GROWTH
Scalability
Good design can expand as your business grows. Adding a new line of business? You should be able to quickly create a new service page that aligns with the rest. Adding a supplier? You’ll want to be able to integrate new products into your existing pages without having to redesign your site. We build with scalability in mind so that your website is evergreen.
Our Web Design Process
Concepting
First, we labor to understand your organization and what your goals are for your website. Then we build a detailed plan along with a sitemap and live mockup to help you visualize your site’s structure and design before we move further.
Development
Once you’ve signed off on the concept we begin fleshing out the details — coding pages, writing content, and optimizing it all for speed, functionality, and search engine placement. By the end of this process, your website will be finished, but we’re certainly not done.
Quality Assurance
Testing is a critical phase of our process. We run your site through its paces in a variety of scenarios using a mix of devices and browsers, fixing issues as we go. Our commitment to quality ensures that no matter where your site is viewed, it works perfectly.
Deployment
Once we’re satisfied with your site’s performance we migrate it from our development server to its final home where it becomes visible to the world. Some firms would be finished with you at that point. But with us, deployment isn’t just the end of the design process. It’s also the start of the next phase of care — long-term management.
