Getting Started With Web Development
Whether you need a small, basic site that tells who and where you are, or a fully-functional, interactive site, we can build the site you need.
To get started with the design of a website, we will set up a personal meeting with local organizations or businesses, or a phone interview with those in other locations, and determine what type of website you will need. When we meet with you we will want to know:
- What do you want people to do on your website?
- How will your organization or business use your website?
- What information do you wish to provide online?
- Who comprises your target audience?
- Does your organization have a logo?
- Do you have examples of websites you like or dislike?
- What colors do you like or dislike?
- What is your timeline for the design of a website?
- Will you be using Flash animation?
- Do you desire animated and interactive menus?
- Will you need custom forms?
- Will information on your site be password-protected?
- Do you intend to update the website yourself with a Content Management System? (CMS)
- Do you want to sell items on your website?
- Do you need assistance writing content?
- What types of interactive tools will you need?
- Will you be integrating a blog?
We have several website development solutions to help meet your needs, such as:
- Flash animation
- Drop down menus
- Custom forms
- Animated images
- Testimonial tools
- E-Newsletter Integration
- E-mail marketing capture forms
- Password protected content
- E-commerce (online shopping)
- Calendar tools
- Online event registration
- Content Management Systems
A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to update your own website without having to call your web developer each time a change is needed, thus enabling you to make immediate changes to your website and to save money in the process. There's no special software, and all it takes is a short orientation session to teach you the how-to's. Updates can be made from any computer that has internet access.
