We believe that, in the end, "things change when necessary to remain the same". Chasing the latest technology fads isn't necessary in most cases, but it's important to be aware of what is necessary for a small business in the current world of technology.
Our experience spans many years of change and there are certain key components that never stop being important. For most small enterprises, your website is your main and first point of contact with your customers. It needs to be up-to-date, easy to maintain, and look solid and inviting. It isn't necessary to spend a fortune to have something very powerful and useful.
We specialize in taking control of out of control sites. We've seen it all before and can help you sort out what is the most critical for your success. If we can't handle the job, we can certainly help you find someone who can.
Facebook is not a sufficient web presense. It's useful to have a Facebook page, but not everyone uses it nor wants to. It can be a useful tool, but it's better to have your Facebook page reference your website so that you don't have to maintain duplicate information about your business such as hours of operation and contact info. Facebook owns your page and can do with it as it pleases in the future. That might not suit your best interest and getting an alternative set up quickly should things change might not be easy or possible.
Mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets are increasingly how people interact with the web, but that doesn't mean you need an expensive custom app built for your business. Apps are useful when you have a relationship with your customer and a need for one, but more important is that your website function and look good on a mobile device. Our sites are designed to be responsive and look good across all platforms. Having said that, we can build a custom app for you when the time comes.
Content is by far the most important element of your website. It's critical that a website look good, but not as important as having a reason to visit it. Nobody goes to a website to admire its beauty, they are looking for information. Some of the most successful websites have been plain and simple. Think of Craigslist or eBay. Time needs to be spent working thru what you want to be included and how you want it stated. Your site needs to be created in a way that you can live with when it comes to maintaining it. That includes both content and cost.
If you have website now that you aren't happy with, you are in the perfect position to get it solved. It's actually much easier to tame an unruley site than to create one from scratch, so don't hesitate to contact us for ideas. We can help you find a solution that is suited to your needs.
We offer a selection of essential but modern, basic website styles. Every business needs a web presence in today's marketplace. Relying on Facebook may be fine today, but it leaves you open to another company's ideas of what the future of your site will be and how accessible it is, along with their own advertising. Your site is your face to the world. It doesn't need to be complicated or expensive, simply functional and elegant.
Today's websites need to be accessible on many devices as more and more people use tablets or smart phones to access the internet. We will upgrade your site to be modern, responsive to all devices, and give you the look and feel you need for todays' world.
Has your website gotten away from you? Is it out of date, partially disfunctional, or looks terrible on a smart phone?
Need an app? We can build native apps that will run on both Apple iOS and Android devices.
