ebsite Development
We design and build everything from interactive corporate and brochure sites to database-driven dynamic content high traffic sites leveraging Web 2.0 technologies as well as traditional Web technologies.
A new or redesigned Web site can help keep pace with emerging technology standards, provide access to new applications and timely content, increase branding and user-experience, reduce operating costs, ensure consistency following an acquisition or merger, or simply provide a refreshed look-and-feel to redefine presence or brand.
Web Standards
We specialize in implementing Web standards to reduce page weight and speed up your site's response times. Conversion from table-based design to standards-oriented design can reduce page weight by 50% or more. In addition, that same conversion process improves accessibility and makes maintenance easier.
Content Management
Utilizing a content management system provides a facility to manage and update your site to keep content up-to-date without requiring web professionals to continuously update HTML. End users can control when content should be updated including new product offerings, press releases, bios, etc. For more information on our content management solutions, see our Content Management section.
Web 2.0 Development
Web 2.0 has often been described as "the Web as a platform, where Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources.” This site leverages Web 2.0 technologies by employing web services from popular sites.
Video Streaming
We have extensive experience in the web video arena. From automating the conversion of DVD video to compression formats such as DivX or complete video to Flash conversions to architecting a building a complete high volume server farm, we can provide the expertise to ensure a successful video site.
Social Networking
Social networking provides stickiness to your site and a reason for users to come back and extend your market virally. Features such as an interactive network of blogs, user profiles, groups, photos, videos and internal e-mail systems can have a huge impact on attracting and keeping your user base. Social networking is a science and art and must be implemented correctly to maximize effectiveness. We have worked with major social sites on the web and can bring our experience to your site.
AJAX Development
Ajax is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Ajax’s “asynchronous” nature means it can update data without having to refresh the entire page. This allows updates portions of a page based upon user events and provides one of the cornerstones of Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Drag-n-Drop, dynamic drop-downs, dynamic maps, etc. that previously were accomplished through thick clients can now be built into websites giving a substantially better user experience.
There is a simple AJAX example on this site to display a gallery of logos in the Corporate Identity and Graphic Design section.
Flash Animations
Flash allows you to tell a story to explain your value message verses a static image. The Flash Player is installed on 98% of desktops globally. The scalable, vector based display and consistent runtime engine in Flash Player deliver content with high fidelity irrespective of operating system and client hardware specifications. This site utilizes Flash for animations.
CSS Layout Designs
Redesigns are easier and less expensive using CSS for Layout and Design. By removing presentational markup from your pages, redesigns of existing sites and content is much less labor intensive (and much less expensive). To change the layout of the site, only the style sheets change; the pages themselves do not need to be edited at all. This site is designed using CSS for layout.
