Professional Web Site Design
for
Businesses

A profitable business must have an IMAGE that:

Projects CONFIDENCE
Promotes RESPECT
Generates CREDABILITY

PERSONAL ATTENTION

We offer innovative, creative and action producing Web Site Designs. Each business has its own independent self-image and ideas that are incorporated into a meaningful IMAGE. Beginning with face to face interviews with the business owner, local management or their designees, we try to learn our client's business from their point of view. We discover and document what the business sells, what overall marketing plan they are following and how they want their new web site to support that plan by projecting the right IMAGE.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY

A prototype for the web site pages is then designed and presented to the client for concept approval. After making any changes requested by the client, the customized web pages are developed, tested and uploaded to the host site. The client can now view their site on the Internet. After any changes or corrections are made, the development project is finalized.

COST REDUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS

Many web site developers offer highly sophisticated web sites using the latest technology, but costing thousands of dollars. Our emphasis is on presenting your business' all important IMAGE. This can be done either with or without Flash movies. Sometimes, an inexpensive animated GIF image will work just as well. An animated Gif image is a small series of electronic drawings stacked one on top of the other and there are many readily available on the internet. Unless you absolutely need to access a database for information within your web page, or you have very frequent changes to that information, we would recommend against its inclusion in your web site. Databases are very expensive to set up. However, they are fairly cheap to maintain. They are only justified if you absolutely need them or you make frequent changes to their content.

HOSTING AND E-COMMERCE CONSIDERATIONS

If needed, we work with our clients to find the most cost effective hosting service for their new web site. If a domain name needs to be registered, we see that it is done. We also support our clients by finding companies supplying services that handle credit card transactions (both US and International) and Shopping Cart purchases and interfacing these to the client's new web pages.

EXAMPLES

Below I'm including links to some of the sites I've developed. Please examine them at your leisure and use the "BACK" button in your web browser to return to this page. Included is a web page containing my background. Some of these web sites were built as demonstration sites. These demos were used as examples to be included as part of a benefits package in various marketing campaigns.

This web page describes my background and education.

The Orangery is a store that sells and ships fruits, nuts and chocolates worldwide. Only the first page is active. The catalog entries are pending decisions by the client.

The Broward County Restaurant Index was developed as a possible marketing demonstration, promoting those restaurants listed. Each restaurant would have an entry in both the alphabetical list and the list by cuisine and would contain a review of each restaurant if it was available.

This fictitious restaurant web site was developed for demonstration purposes. The marketing idea was to promote various restaurants through the display of their services, menus and the use of computer printed coupons.
