Services

Consulting, programming, website design, copy writing, hosting, online marketing including search engine optimization (SEO) and ways to get the best return on your investment (ROI).

Consulting

Technology can be a scary place. Do you have questions about how to get your website started, where to host, how to use Google Adwords to advertise, or how a Content Management System (CMS) can help you optimize and update your site on your own?
We have background in technology, interactive marketing, and standards based web design. We’ll work with you to get you the answers you need before the confusion consumes you. Ready to get started? Get a hold of us, and we’ll be happy to share what we know!

Programming

We understand the technology that makes the engine of your site pur. We’re PHP and Jquery certified and have extensive experience working and managing sites built on MySQL databases, PHP, PEAR, SOAP, JavaScript, Jquery, and WordPress. Do you have a new or specific technology that you love, but don’t see it on our list? Don’t worry, chances are good we can handle it! Ready to get started, go ahead and contact us and we’ll be happy to get you the answers you need!

Design

We work with a crew of designers with varied backgrounds and specialties. Need a personal or business site? How about a blog to share your passion? We work with you to capture your vision and translate it to the web.

We use valid standards based semantic (X)HTML markup, CSS layouts, unobtrusive JavaScript and DOM manipulation. Which means our sites excel not only in today’s browsers, screen readers, and wireless devices, but in yesterday’s, tomorrow’s, and next year’s.

Copy writing

Writing copy for the web is much different than other writing. When you read from a paper source you typically read left to right, top to bottom. However, on the web we spend our time looking all over the page for the material we want to read.

In general, we spend more time looking for information to ingest than we actually spend consuming it! Knowing what to say, and where to say it, is an art and not a science. We’ll work with you to determine the best copy and placement possible to attract your target audience. We even do A/B testing to show you how different copy and placement can get you improved results!

AB Testing

A/B testing or bucket testing is a method of marketing testing by which a baseline control sample is compared to a variety of single-variable test samples in order to improve response rates. A classic direct mail tactic, this method has been recently adopted within the interactive space to test tactics such as banner ads, emails and landing pages.

Significant improvements can be seen through testing elements like copy text, layouts, images and colors. However, not all elements produce the same improvements, and by looking at the results from different tests, it is possible to identify those elements that consistently tend to produce the greatest improvements.

Hosting

Why host your site with us?

No gimmicks, no catches, we’ll treat you professionally from day one. If at any time you don’t love the service we give you, we’ll help you move your site to the hosting company* of your choice for free. You pick the place, we’ll pack everything up in boxes, put it on the truck, and setup shop at your new home.

* Not all hosting companies are created equal, we use some basic things that your site might need to function (MySQL databases, PHP, PEAR, etc…). If your new provider doesn’t have these things, we can’t guarantee that your site will work the way it was engineered.

We work with our friends at Lunarpages to provide awesome hosting, at an amazing price.

Marketing

Once your site has been released into the wild, the real fun starts. How do you measure how your site is doing? After all, if you can’t measure how well it’s doing then how can you tell if it was worth all the time and money you spent on it?
We use some great tools from our friends at Lunarpages to measure and compare how your site is stacking up to your competition.

We use Google Webmaster Tools to keep you site’s setting optimized, Google Analytics to measure all of the metrics of your site, Google Adwords to Advertise your business on Google, and Google Website Optimizer to test and optimize site content and design to make sure you are getting a high level of ROI.

Search Engine Optimization [SEO]

We understand the concepts of Search Engine Optimization and keep those concepts top of mind when we design a web site.

  • If we observe any inherent SEO issues with your site, including copy-related issues, and we will bring them to your attention so they can be addressed.
  • We integrate our design with your web copy so the visual and written elements work together to lead the visitor to the ultimate destination.
  • We ensure that each page delivers the information a user would expect to find there. If we notice inconsistencies between the content on a page and the presumed purpose of the page, we bring those inconsistencies to your attention so you can decide what action should be taken to address the issue.

Return On Investment [ROI]

Everyone wants to get a good return on their investment, your clients included! We’ll help you develop an online strategy to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck, and passing that along to your customers.

Social Media

Just because you have a Twitter or Facebook account doesn’t mean you are utilizing it with an effective marketing strategy. We’ve worked with big companies who have rabid fans that want to get the day to day scoop on what their services can do for them.
