Web
Site Design
The
first step to ensure that your presence
on the Web is a lasting one, is
to design a Web site that people
want to not only explore, but revisit. We
start by determining the overall
purpose for your
Web site.
Web Site Purpose and Components
- To provide information or have an educational
slant?
- A basic site presenting your company
or organization?
- An ecommerce site to sell your products
or services?
Once this is determined, we can start
asking specific questions to plan the
design, layout, and menu structure. The
design of
your Web site can be as simple or complex
as your imagination and budget allow. x-SITE-d will
smoothly handle the transition from a viable
idea
to a fully functional Web site.

The Process
You will
be involved in the process through
each step. If you currently
have a Web site that needs a redesign,
we'll begin by considering the look of
your current site and revise it to reflect
a fresh, new look.
If this is a new Web site,
we'll talk to you about your business to
get an understanding of your company and
image you want to portray. For example,
this could include a continued color scheme
or style from your business cards or and
letterhead, and utilize your company logo.
We can also design a completely new look for
your business tying together Web site,
logo, and business materials.
Once a design is approved, we'll proceed
finish the graphics,
construct the pages, and upload them to
a development site for your review and
our testing. We test on multiple
browsers and platforms; Mac, Windows, and
Linux.
We also fully optimize the
Web site for search engines and indexes
during the building process. This is an
extra feature we offer as part of our standard
Web site package.
All copy and photographs needs to be
received before actual
site construction starts. Writing for the
Internet is different then writing
for print. Clicking
here will provide some
basic copywriting guidelines, suggestions,
and mistakes. If you choose to have x-SITE-d
do the copywriting and/or editing, you
must approve the copy previous to the site
being built.

Important
Info
We
don't use templates. Ever. Each
Web site is designed for that specific
client. It's visually attractive, easy
to navigate, and dial-up friendly. The
majority of people are still on dial-up,
not broadband.

We will not guarantee,
or be liable for any email
or on-submit forms that the client insists
be setup using an AOL, Yahoo or Hotmail
account.
Our Web sites
are built to run natively on Unix
- Linux servers. We
do not use or advise using IIS (Windows)
servers due to ongoing security issues.

Client Testimonial
"It's
tough to be neutral when marketing yourself!
Working with Annie at x-SITE-d has really
helped in this process. She took our
initial web site that read like a fact
sheet and with minor input made it more readable and visually
interesting.
The greatest thing
about working with x-SITE-d is that they 'get
it' - you don't have to spend
hours with them on details to end up with
something really interesting."
