Websites & Media

If you run a business today, you need to have an Internet presence. More importantly, you need to have a Website that works for your business.

A functional Website is one that supports your business by helping you to attract more customers and service them with tools and media relavent to your business.

A Website today is a business cost that cannot be avoided. With over 15 years of experience with designing and building websites, media and applications for the Internet, we understand how it is shaping the way business operates on the Web. We will discuss your business thoroughly with you and provide you with an action plan that will work specifically for you.

First impressions and functionality are critical elements to your Website and if you don't have them, you could be losing business. How your website is maintained and who will be doing it are also key factors when considering building a Website. As an example, don't simply choose a content management system if the learning curve and time requirements are something that you cannot commit to, particularly if your update requirements are minor.

Creative (Layout Design and Animation)

Our website designs are completely custom and created using the industry's highest quality tools. We combine your existing imagery with suggested complimentary images and incorporate your company's colours and logo. If you need a logo, we will work with you to design one for you while creating the design for your new Website.

Your site can be enhanced with Flash animation to generate appeal for your visitors.

Programming & Site Maintenance

Our traditional Websites are using the latest stable release of PHP and MySQL. Our premium websites can be built completely in a search engine friendly combinateion of Flash, Actionscript and PHP to create a stunning website with a rich multimedia experience.

We can provide content-managed solutions or maintenance programs for your Website. While content-managed systems are popular, some of our customers have found that this is not the most cost-effective approach to their Websites and have instead selected a maintenance program. The initial cost of a content managed website can be significantly higher than a standard website, and the learning curve is not as quick nor are the results as satisfactory as some would have you believe.

As part of our maintenance program, we provide a 48 hour turnaround on all minor updates with service plans customized to the needs of each of our customers.

Hosting

We provide hosting for all of our customers that includes 5 email addresses with Webmail, 1 database and up to 15mb of storage space. We perform regular monitoring and backups of all websites we host for our clients. Our standard hosting plan is $15.99 per month.

Media & Video

Video is becoming a common element of all Internet communication today, and most companies have a need for video in their websites, presentations on DVD materials. Advertising and promotion using portal sites including YouTube and Facebook has also become increasingly popular and can be particularly effective if you are demonstrating or promoting a product or service that is high in demand.

We use high-quality Mac-based video production software to render video materials for the Internet and DVD format.
