Web Site Design and Development
Your Web site speaks volumes to your customers, your employees, and your competition. We understand the challenges you face and that is why we are committed to designing engaging, memorable sites that properly communicate your image and professionalism. Our goal is to help our clients achieve and strengthen their position with their target audience. Our staff consistently provides superior solutions, both from an aesthetic and technical perspective.
What?Design can design your Web site from scratch or modify an existing site. Working with the you ‹the client‹ during this phase of development ensures that the design will match your vision and exceed your expectations. You will have access to the most current technology available. The result is the ability to design Web sites download-, platform-, and browser-friendly, while remaining visually pleasing and technologically sound. From Dynamic HTML to Flash programming to database driven e-commerce, we can build the site that best suits your needs.
Web Site Maintenance
Once the initial Web site is up and running, on-going maintenance relating to graphic, Flash, and HTML production may be required to keep the Web site accurate and current. Based on your requirements for new content and the time nature of events, maintenance might include adding; new developments in your organization, special events, contests, or any other time-sensitive information that is appropriate. Any basic updates to the content of your site that are considered to be routine are included in the monthly maintenance costs. In addition, as part of our on-going maintenance service, we can also assist you in monitoring your site's listings within the popular search engines. For this service, What?Design offers two monthly maintenance packages to choose from: Time and Material and Retainer.
Time and Material Maintenance requests are delivered and scheduled only when work is needed. Turn around time for these requests vary depending on resource availability and scope of work. The schedule is established when the requests are made.
Retainer Maintenance requests use a pre-determined and pre-paid allotted amount of time per month devoted to the project. Since the time has already been scheduled, resources will be available and turn around time is a lot faster. Once the allotted hours dedicated to the Retainer have been utilized, the remaining work for that month will be transferred automatically to a Time and Material delivery schedule. It is also important to note that although Retainer Maintenance costs less per hour on average than Time and Material, unused hours will not be reimbursed for that particular month nor can the hours be rolled-over to the next month. Therefore, What?Design does not designate a minimum or maximum retainer size and existing retainers can always be updated to fit the current needs.
Internet Hosting Services
Although What?Design does not provide Web hosting services, we will help you find the right solution for your hosting needs. By finding the host that is right for your situation, What?Design can minimize the long term costs associated with your Web site.
Internet Marketing
To be successful on the Internet, it is imperative to be listed with the top search engines, directories, and link sites. What?Design has the experience and qualifications to develop Web sites with the content and format required for selection into databases. What?Design offers one-stop shopping for Web site development and administrative submittal of URLs (Web site addresses) and other required information. Having a Web site doesn't mean a thing if nobody can find it. What?Design uses software to submit your site to thousands of search engines and directories. A search engine listing is only a starting point, though. Good positioning is a time consuming, meticulous task. The most important part of search engine positioning is in the design of the page. What?Design can design Web sites with search engine positioning in mind. Most of this work is behind the scenes in parts of the page that don't show up on the computer screen. But without it, your site doesn't stand much of a chance of being recognized by the search engines. After the site is complete, there is still much to be done. What?Design is available to do the legwork on a regular basis, or we can instruct you on how to be constantly building the base for good placement.
