Web Site Design Professional Web Site Design Options

Are you looking to create a first-time online presence for your business or organization? Or perhaps you have an existing web site that could use an updated look and a fresh perspective on its content and structure. Whether a first-time web site or a redesign of an existing web site, we have three professional web site design options for you to consider.

Custom Web Site Design

The first option is perfect for those looking for a truly unique web site that is custom-made just for them. If you choose this option, we will create a custom web site design, unique only to you, in which we design the entire layout and graphical elements for the site pages. The overall layout, color scheme, navigation system, use of photos, graphics and special features are discussed with you, the customer, often referring to characteristics of other professional web site designs that are appealing and support your objectives.

Consistency in a marketing campaign is important, so consideration of existing marketing materials – your "corporate identity" – is another important element in the custom web site design process.

Once the project details have been solidified, the home page and secondary page layouts are created. These pages are presented to you for review, modifications are made according to your feedback, and then the approved layouts are used to create the remaining site pages.

Custom web site design features include:

• Design of web graphics
• HTML/XHTML coding
• Template and include files
• Cascading Style Sheets
• JavaScript functions (i.e. rollovers, date/time)
• Online forms
• Use of free stock photography
• Slideshows/Photo galleries
• Photo and image retouching
• Graphics compression (create smaller file sizes for quicker downloading)

Blog-Style Web Site Design

The second option is perfect for those looking for a professional web site design with web log (blog) capabilities. If you choose this option, you will be provided with 8 different layout styles to choose from, and we will customize your selection by editing colors and fonts, and by inserting your unique logo, graphics and photos. If you prefer, we can also work together to create a custom web site design for your blog-style web site.

Blog-style web site features include:

• Standard pages with text, links, photos, etc.
• Dynamic web log pages (writings of whatever topic/nature you choose, and multiple web logs at that)
• Archives of web logs
• Ability to upload files that site users can download
• Lists of favorite links
• Picture galleries with thumbnails that site users can browse
• Ability to allow site users to interact in a discussion centered around a single topic - a discussion which supports multiple threads
• Ability to allow single thread discussions which are ideal for guestbook style applications - only one discussion thread is present
• Lists of books or music - links to Amazon.com

These blog-style web sites are integrated with a truly easy-to-use web site content management system – does not require you to have any HTML skills. This web-based interface (no software required) will allow you to modify and add new sections and content to your web site with ease. We will provide one-on-one training on using this content management system after your initial site is built.

Template-Based Web Site Design

The third option is perfect for those looking to save a little time and money in putting a web site together. If you choose this option, we will create a web site for you using a professional web site design template. We will customize this template using your business or organization's logo, photos, graphics, text, etc.

To the left are a sampling of thumbnail images of the professional web site design templates (there are dozens more to choose from). You can choose from 5-page templates, 7-page templates and 10-plus page templates. Features vary from one template to another, and include:
