ExpressionEngine Integration
While we are familiar with several different Content Management Systems (WordPress, Joomla) we keep coming back to ExpressionEngine. We find that regardless of whether the site is a simple blog or a very complex church website it makes managing your content so much easier. We are proud to be part of the ExpressionEngine Pro Network. We are also Partners with EllisLab through our EE Showcase website Show-ee.com. And were the first makers of Commercial templates for ExpressionEngine at EETemplates.com. We know EE.
Web Design
Designing for the web is more than just opening Fireworks or Photoshop and drawing some pretty rectangles on the screen. It’s about solving a problem. Depending on the purpose of the site the structure will change. And what are you trying to communicate to your audience? Do you want to be perceived as modern or traditional? Ground breaking or conservative? What changes can you make to the design to make the Information Architecture flow better? These are all things that are taken into consideration when designing a new site.
(x)HTML/CSS
For those of you that are not technical your eyes may glaze over when we start talking about web standards, but it has to be done. Short of the content the HTML is probably the most important aspect of a new site and it’s interaction with Search Engines. Do a crummy job on the HTML and the site will have major inconsistencies in different browsers, Search Engines won’t be able to make sense of your content, and integrating any kind of Content Management System becomes more difficult. It’s the simple things that often times make the biggest difference.
Photography
Photography is something that we do mostly for our local clients since it is a little difficult to take pictures remotely. We use only the finest Canon Bodies and L series Lenses. We also have a full studio lighting set up and use Colored Seamless paper as backdrops. If you have a product that can be shipped or need images near our location or want to fly us out to your location… we are for hire.
Search Engine Optimization
We’ve all gotten those emails from spammers that promise first page Search Results for our chosen key words. What they don’t tell you is that they can only promise that for PAID results. We look at Search Engine Optimization from the ground up. We use semantic Valid HTML, separation of Content from Presentation through use of CSS, we even look at Page load times through image optimization in an effort to make your site Google Friendly. Once those are all tucked away we can talk paid advertising campaigns and what approach may be best for you.
Graphic Design and Printed Materials
We also design graphics for use in traditional media (ads for Newspapers, magazines etc) and printed materials. We can manage your ad campaign, create logos, and spruce up a tri-fold or business card.
