We bring different skillsets and ideas to the table and both are equally important to creating an outstanding brand. We believe that the best designs will emerge when we're working together intimately.
Any project begins with meetings and consultations. For bigger projects, there may be a handful of these as we try to meet with all the stakeholders in your project and really understand your company and industry. While we're creating your designs, the final output still needs to capture your company's voice and history. We want to learn from you!
Great design is an iterative process. We generally start with a couple of big-picture options and use those to build a discussion around what you like and dislike, then go back to the drawing board and refine our early concepts into more finished ideas.
From it comes to content such as articles on your website, we start to lean on you a bit more. We offer copywriting services and can research what your peers and competitors are doing to stay relevant, but ultimately we trust that you know your industry and your company better than anyone and therefore we encourage you to write and create whatever you're able to.
We believe in keeping our invoices as simple as possible. Whether you take advantage of our 1 Simple Subscription or choose to purchase what you need ala carte, you'll understand exactly what outputs you're paying for, and those prices won't change no matter how long it takes us to complete. In other words, you're paying for a website, not the hours it takes to build a website.
Now, sometimes, things happen. Unfortunately, if you increase the scope of your project, we'll need to increase the cost. Sometimes, we just can't estimate what resources a project will need (for example, copywriting) and we'll have to bill by the hour. But in these cases we're completely transparent and you always have the opportunity to ask questions before we push ahead.
We're often asked how to improve the search results of a website. It's no easy answer and, as a matter of fact, we have an entire report dedicated just to answering that question. But at a general level, one of the answers that we give most often is to make it worth it for visitors to keep coming back and for site engines to send traffic your way. The best way to accomplish that is to have lots of pertinent content. As the old adage goes, "content is king!"
Many people are alienated by the sound of that. They aren't interested in constantly updating their site. They don't have enough hours or the day or interest to learn to use social media to their advantage.
We created our 1 Simple Subscription to solve this problem. We believe businesses want to embrace their website as a salesperson and we work tirelessly to do just that. It doesn't need to be complex when we have experts to handle it all.
Technology is constantly changing and we work hard to adapt and excel. These technologies can improve the user experience and, ultimately, profit, if you choose to take advantage of them.
Responsive design is one of the most substantial changes to web design since the Internet began. The idea behind responsive design is that the site "responds" or adapts to whatever screen size it's being viewed on, from the tiniest of smart phones all the way up to large smart TV's. There's a single version of the site, not multiple versions with multiple URL's, and the design always looks great on any device. All of our sites are designed with mobile-first responsive design so they look great.
As server technology continues to improve, we seek out the most reliable ways to keep your site online and smoothly humming. In 2016, we performed the biggest server upgrade in our history in our bid for the unmatched combination of reasonable hosting costs and rock-solid 99.9% server uptime guarantees.
