Enterprise Web Development
Web Design and Consultation
$50 per page (10 page minimum)
We will analyze your existing website, create a consistent information
architecture, design the home page, create folders and representative sample
pages, create XHTML and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) templates that can be used by
your own staff or less-skilled developers to build the actual web application.
Using our Web Design and Consulting services is the best choice if you have
inhouse personnel who can code HTML and perform basic web maintenance functions,
but who may lack the analytical and linguistic expertise to perform textual
deconstruction and create consistent tone, voice, and semantic relevance in
format and style.
We will create an attractive, elegant, efficient design "shell" that conforms
to the best practices of information architecture, enterprise web development,
and search engine optimization, that can be easily administered and maintained by
your own staff or other developers.
Basic Business Website
$499 to $1999
If your website is not generating leads, stimulating new business, and
continually improving your bottom line, it has little or no value. Let us create
a new custom website for your business, or re-design and upgrade your existing
site, that is focused on generating business, rather than on displaying graphics
and artwork that do little more than distract visitors from the products and
services your business provides.
Your Basic Business Website will include an attractive, elegant design that is
"information rich," five to seven pages of content, and an email contact form.
ALL our designs, including Basic Business, include search engine optimization, and
are designed to make search engine marketing easy, efficient, and productive.
For a new or existing business with less than 20 employees, the Basic Business
Website is the perfect choice. As your business grows, your website can be easily
expanded and extended. The Basic Business Website is particularly well suited to
service contractors and service businesses, because it emphasizes design elements
that convey honesty, integrity, and credibility.
Standard Business Website
$2k to $4k
Includes an attractive, elegant design that is "information rich," and that
strongly promotes your business vision, strategy, and image. The Standard Business
design is built around a content management system that enables content to be
changed, modified, or extended with minimal fuss and bother. Complete, detailed
instructions are provided.
Your Standard Business Website will include up to 30 pages of written and
graphic content that you provide, search engine optimization, and a design that
makes search engine marketing easy, efficient, and productive. The Standard
Business Website is the perfect choice for enterprises with 20 to 100 employees
and emphasizes design elements that convey honesty, integrity, and credibility.
Every element of the Standard Business Website is designed and developed by
experienced, skilled enterprise solutions developers who are business people
first, and web designers and graphic artists second. Every element is focused on
promoting your business, increasing your credibility, and persuading both new and
returning customers that you have the solutions to their wants and needs.
The Standard Business Website is designed using the best practices of
information architecture and website usability, and in addition to promoting
your business vision, strategy, and image, every element of your Standard Business
Website is designed and programmed to produce a pleasing, informative, and useful
visitor experience.
Premium Enterprise Website
$4k to $7k
The major differences between the Standard Business Website and the Premium
Enterprise Website are almost invisible to the user. They are intended to focus
and channel the entire user experience to promote your organization's vision,
strategy, and image, while simultaneously promoting impressions of honesty,
credibility, integrity, and liking.
The Premium Enterprise Website design requires extensive initial research and
analysis of your organization's public interface, to assure consistency in
presentation and format. The best practices of information architecture and
impression management are at the heart of the Premium Enterprise Website design.
The Premium Enterprise Website design uses a content management system and
inhouse style guide to assure that future online documentation will be consistent
with existing documentation, and that it will eliminate "semantic noise"--
inappropriate word and stylistic choices that cause a jarring, disturbing,
unconscious impression to form that is automatically linked to your business.
(If you are not familiar with the term "semantic noise," two examples will make
it clearer; the recent "Dr. Z" commercials by Daimler-Chrysler, and the unfortunate
choice of terms by the marketing department at Midas Mufflers suggesting that
everyone who needed a muffler should "get Midas-ized.")
Similarly, in designing your website and documentation, we are able to
promote
and facilitate acceptance of your organizational goals and mission by crafting
linguistic and design elements that are both compelling and unobtrusively elegant;
the best website design or document design is the one your customers and clients
like--without understanding or even thinking about why they like it. We fully
understand that the most elegant, attractive, creative website or documentation is
useless if it fails to convey, define, and extend your business strategy, mission,
goals, and identity.
