Small Business Web Design
Our web design is characterized by our holistic website building process. We have adapted our process to account for the challenges common to small businesses. And our objectives are to minimize the time you invest building your website and increase your confidence regarding the functionality and look of it.
We achieve these objectives through our standard practice of building compliant websites that meet up-to-date search engine optimization and styling guidelines. We add value to your business through the use of established open source platforms, proactive research of your competitors, products and services within the scope of the internet, and through our principle centered practices.
We are a proactive team with a strong sense of responsibility for the survival and growth of our clients. The fact that we are a small business ourselves makes us fully conscious of our common limitations and aware of the prevalent risks that often but subtly detract us from building successful businesses.
Whether your website requires a beautiful design, intelligent organization of content, or an interface that streamlines your work, we can help you build a website that contributes to the objectives of your business.
In broad terms, the major components of a website are structure, design, and content; we specialize in the structure and design of websites.
We are flexible about creating a unique web design or using a third party prebuilt template
Whether we suggest a unique design or a pre-built template for your website, we'll strive to reflect a professional and reliable image for your business.
If you have a small budget, we can build your website with a third party pre-built template. If you need your website to clearly reflect your brand, we have the creativity for distinctive web designs. Either way, we are flexible and work with you to create an image that you feel comfortable with and proud of.
The websites we build amplify your off page search engine optimization and online marketing efforts
We build search engine friendly websites, and we practice up-to-date search engine guidelines. This means that we equip you and your website to clearly signal the subject matter of your website through the internet. This signal makes it easier for engines that organize online content to relate your website to your products and services.
The websites we build respond much better to off page seo and online marketing tactics than generic websites do. If your marketing strategy includes to grow your market share through search engine generated traffic, or what is often called inbound marketing, you can rest assured that your website will be supplemented with the latest techniques.
We determine the relevant keywords and key phrases for your website
We research the words and phrases that are most often used to find your products and services throughout the internet. We also look at the trend of search for these related keywords and phrases. We share our findings with you, and we incorporate our insights into the optimization of your website.
We use established open source platforms
Whether you need a small or large website, we use scalable, non proprietary platforms, that facilitate independent, cost effective, website evolution.
Various benefits derived from this decision. First, you can remain independent of us because you will have access to a large pool of experts on your site's platform. Second, since established open source platforms have a large group of users, security threats are quickly identified and solved, and you'll have free access to these. Lastly, you have access to a wide array of third party prebuilt solutions that help you evolve your website to meet the demands of the times; this is time and cost effective.
Our commitment to honesty enables us, YOU and US, to make intelligent decisions
The objectives of your website, your financial resources, and your level of involvement will influence our decision of where to focus our work. We'll communicate our preliminary decision to you, and present you with all alternative solutions. However, we'll seek to make joint decisions with you to let your values, priorities, and constraints guide the path we take.
We enable our clients to quantify results
All website packages are equipped with an easy to view analytics tool. This tool will let you see geographical information about website visitors, trail of web pages viewed by visitors, source of website visitors, and in many instances, when the source of the visitor was a search engine, the query that the user entered when your website was listed as a relevant result. You can leverage this information to improve the effectiveness of your website

Our Process
We have a preliminary conversation about your project
We asses your project to determine if we are a good match
If we are a good match, we submit an estimate
If you hire our services, you pay half the estimated cost up front
We work with you to clearly define the objectives of your website (project):
- you show us websites that you like
- you talk to us in detail about your products and services
- you tell us who is likely to look for your products and services
- you tell us how your products and services benefit consumers
We research how your products and services are currently being marketed through the internet:
- how internet users search for your products and service
- who are the leading market participants for this product and service
- To gain insight and draft a website structure that fits your industry and target market, we'll research the websites of leading industry competitors to determine important common characteristics, layout, look and feel of website. We do this to implement a site structure that facilitates intuitive use and navigation for your target audience.
We draft a strategy that highlights:
- what we think will be our greatest challenges
- what we think are your greatest assets
- what aspect of the website we think we should focus on
- we propose a structure for the website
- we propose deadlines for the various phases of the project
- depending on your level of involvement, we designate responsibilities (for example, if you will provide content for your website, we inventory what you will provide to us and set a deadline, etc.)
Depending on what we planned, we either present you a series pre built templates or we present you three original conceptual designs.
If we use pre built templates, we discuss the limitations of the templates that you like. For example, if the template is not a fluid web design, or does not include the styling of forms or other elements. We do this for you to get an idea of what you can expect us to work on.
If you need a unique and original design, we present you three conceptual designs that embody what we have distilled from our conversations, research, brainstorming and strategizing
You pick the design that is most appealing to you, and you indicate any changes that you would like
We present you a second draft of the design you originally chose. Then, you indicate any further changes you deem necessary. The changes that you request, are bound to follow the theme of the design you chose in the first round of the selection phase
You hand us any material we may have scheduled for you to contribute to your project
We wrap up the website, and present it to you 
You are given a period of three days to review the website:
- We will provide support for any online payment, or functionality problems that occur within 90 days. This support, doesn't include design changes, or the implementation of additional elements or applications to the site.
We discuss any final adjustments that need to be made
We make final adjustments to your website
We publish your website
We show you how you can monitor the traffic to your website with tools we have integrated into your website
Unless otherwise stated, we perform biweekly backups for a year after we publish your website
We perform updates whenever we are notified of security vulnerabilities for the platform of your website
If we are monitoring your website, every quarter, we write our observations and make suggestions based on the traffic data compiled by monitoring tools
If our services include training you, or a member of your organization, to enter content into your website, we'll schedule this training according to the strategy we drew for your project; this may be before or after we publish your website.
Our Mission Statement
In our role as a service providers, we are committed to fairness, honesty, and excellence.
Our experience has led us to choose these principles as guidelines for our interaction with clients and potential clients.
We define fairness to be an equal consideration of the priorities of all individuals involved in the development of a project.
We define honesty as the open, transparent and proactive communication with our clients regarding everything that pertains to their project.
We define excellence as the continuous strive to implement best practices in our services, development of products, project management, and relationship building based on guidelines published by the leading organizations of our industry, and the industry of business management.
We have chosen these guiding principles out of our need for an environment where we can exchange our skills with joy.
We love what we do, and we know that an environment of trust is conducive to professional interaction characterized by quality, effectiveness, discovery, and many other nourishing results. We also recognize, that a predatory environment inhibits honest communication, forthcoming sharing of insights, and the desire of individuals to team up for the accomplishment of any objective.
We believe that if we limit ourselves to dealings characterized by fairness and honesty, we contribute to a healthy economy, healthy industry, and a culture of interdependence.
We limit our involvement to projects lead by individuals who:
- are willing to communicate extensively about the objectives they want to achieve
- are willing to set clear expectations from our services
- are willing to pay fair price for our labor and expertise
- are willing to negotiate deadlines that are reasonable given the size and objectives of their project
We enact excellence by:
- communicating proactively about the challenges in relation to our client's objectives
- communicating candidly about our practices, products, and being transparent with the client about third party products and services used the concerning project
- educating our clients, or not, depending on their chosen level of involvement. For example, if a client wants to be heavily involved in the management of his project, we are glad to educate. If a client wants to delegate a project to us, and needs us to limit to reporting results, we can do this too.
- implementing guidelines established by leading organizations for the product and/or service we execute
- performing quality control through inventorying of the elements of a project
- monitoring performance after we have delivered a project or performed a service
- fiduciary management of a client's asset. For example, performing schedule backups and updates of clients websites despite the fact that this is not visible.
