Web Site Creation.
We start every site from scratch. We also take you through a "design 101" review to make sure that we both know who we need to talk to, what they want and what you can do for them...
This is done for both for "the messaging" and the "overall look and feel" of your new site design.
DELIVERING YOUR BRAND ONLINE:
We review competitive sites, and learn all we can about your brand. Then Chris will apply his 20+ years experience in graphic design studios and ad agencies to your design... Creating on-target, visually pleasing sites with smart navigation that are optimized for quick load times and conform to the latest html/css standards.
STANDARD HTML SITES:
This type of site is built from the ground up with fresh, to the latest standard html code and style sheets. Your site will require updates by Madison Studios through a maintenance agreement to keep your content fresh. These sites general load very fast, perform well with search engines and is least expensive type of site to build. I generally offer a discount off the price of the entire design and production costs with an annual maintenance agreement.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT WEBSITES:
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CONTENT, DELIVER FRESH MESSAGING.
A content management system (CMS) allows you to make edits to some pages or all of the content and pictures on the site. It can be built for expandability from the start so that you can add new buttons to the navigation, new pages... This will give you a easy-to-use, browser-based web content editing tool for your staff to keep the freshest information online. You would have a login so that only you could control the content.
This style site starts like the standard html site description above. I would custom design the site, use as much open source programming that is available and a good fit for your project. This type of site costs more than the standard html site and includes coding, programming, database driven web applications. This adds functionality to your site, creates your pages dynamically, enhancing the visitor experience with real time data.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT WEBSITES:
ALLOW END USER INTERACTIVITY, ENHANCE YOUR VIEWER'S EXPERIENCE.
A content management system (CMS) allows you to make edits to some pages or all of the content and pictures on the site, but we can also build a site that automates some of the manual, time consuming processes you go through daily like; appointment scheduling, receiving documents, knowledge base for self help, some HR and Customer Service reporting...
E-COMMERCE WEBSITES:
SELL YOUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ONLINE, AUTOMATE MANY MANUAL TASKS.
A content management system (CMS) with e-commerce enabled tools allows you to sell your products and services online. We provide you with a store front and you control the products. You can upload pictures, prices, change prices, put items on sale, description, tax, shipping, wish lists... you will also have access to reporting of your sales. This type of site requires a merchant account, security certificates and processing gateway. We can walk you through all of this and have you an online store front faster than you think.
CREATING VISUALLY RICH ENHANCMENTS
ADD RICH MEDIA (FALSH) ELEMENTS.
We can add/embed Flash elements to your site to add visual and navigational impact. I usually don't recommend an entire site created in Flash unless you really don't care about Search Engine Optimization. But with that said, I do create a few sites totally produced in Flash. See Samples of our work for a better idea of these wonderful visual/navigational enhancements.
