Web Design

A well designed website is more than an online business card letting people know who you are and what you do and where and when you can be found. Sadly many practice owners stop there and never progress forward.  There is no silver bullet to marketing your practice or business but a combination of well-thought out strategies will bring results.  A website is just one of the tools you can use to attract new clients and maintain current ones.  There are different kinds of websites that serve various niches in business and finding the right one for you and your business is crucial to your success.

Two broad types of websites are explored here and you can ask us to help you evaluate which kind of website is best for your business needs.

Content Management System Website

Content management system or CMS websites allow you to make changes to the website in a fairly easy manner.  There are different types of systems the more famous ones being Word Press, , and Drupal.  Each system has its strong points and weak points. What matters most is that you are well-trained and comfortable using the software to make changes to your site in a cost effective and time efficient way. Making changes to these websites is as easy as using Microsoft Word or Pages. If you can use email you can use a content management system.

Flash Websites

Flash websites offer stunning audiovisual effects and a seemingly smooth transition between pages. They are used primarily in the entertainment industry and flash elements are used on many websites in the form of slideshows and videos. The downside to flash websites are few but noteworthy.  The most important downside being the difficulty for search engines to find and index your flash website so that they can show it to future customers who are searching for your goods or services.  Another major negative is that flash does not display equally on all devices such as iphones and other mobile platforms. Increasingly more people are using smart phones to navigate, search and buy goods and services online. If your website is unable to display to this big market share you may lose out. Flash websites also have a longer download time which may send impatient customers elsewhere.  Finally, if you are not a savvy flash programmer you will not be able to make even small changes to your website are impossible without hiring a developer.  If your business still needs a flash website we are more than able to produce the kind of flash website you need.  Just ask us.

E-Commerce

E-commerce is the process of selling goods online. You can run an entire store without ever having to rent an actual building or interact with customers face to face. The entire process from displaying merchandise to the actual purchase can be done within an ecommerce website. Or, an ecommerce site could be an extension of your existing brick and mortar store.
