Websites can be classified in two categories:
Brochure Websites
A brochure website typicaly consists of 5-10 pages of text and images and is useful primarily for businesses that wish to have a web presence (which can make your business easier for potential customers to find), but do not wish to sell goods or services on the website.
Boutique Websites
A boutique website has all the benefits and exposure of a brochure website, with the added shopping cart/store front functionality. The shopping carts we build support several payment gateways such as credit cards and PayPal®.
If you are brand new to the web world, we can help with everything from purchasing your domain name, to setting up monthly or yearly hosting and product entry for your boutique websites! We also offer an exciting variety of extras and add-on for your site including custom clipart, avatar and icon design as well as as custom illustrated splash pages that are search engine friendly!
Building your website
How does one go about creating a web site? Depending on the scope of design of your site, the process can be quite elaborate. Whether it is a business or personal website it may require the involvement of several people, departments and marketing components.
Our goal is to review and incorporate your existing marketing ideas to project a consistent image of your company (or yourself) on the web. A website is a valuable component of your marketing, but to be successful, it must be viewed as a component that works in conjunction with other parts; unless you do this, "...even if you build it, they may not come...".
