Design

Whether you are seeking to create a new look or to integrate the look of your existing identity and print materials, Ms Web Site Designer creates a unique and dynamic Web presence for your organization. Visitors will linger at your site and return again and again.

Website design is much more than creating eye-catching graphics. A successful website must be:

Designed for maintenance. Our designs take into account the technical skills of the person who will be maintaining the site after launch. Where the client will be maintaining the site, she uses design approaches that will assure continued design consistency. For example, he would avoid the type of button element that can only be maintained by an experienced graphic artist.
Designed for loading speed. We design your site based on the modem speed of your target user, so that you don't lose dial-up users as they wait for large graphic files to load.
Designed for change. Where relevant, we assure that the site can keep pace with frequently changing print materials. We create flexible designs that can accommodate occasional facelifts, while staying within the required maintenance budget.
Ms Web Site Designer addresses these and other functional design considerations as few designers do.

Development

Because our design process considers development issues, your transition from design to development will be seamless. Development proceeds rapidly once full design approval is obtained.

We develop the site using layered templates that conform to the approved screens. We teach your team how to prepare and organize content to correspond with the site outline. This facilitates development of the initial live site, and prepares you for a simplified and lower cost maintenance process after launch.

Launch

We help you register your URL and find a hosting company appropriate to your needs and budget. Once the site is complete, we oversee beta testing. Your staff, and perhaps a selected sample of potential customers who are unfamiliar with the site, repeatedly simulate site use to make sure there are no bugs. We eliminate any problems that are identified, and your site works smoothly before your visitors see it.

Maintenance

Whether you have chosen to maintain your own site or have us do it, the process will be simple and straightforward. The site outline and template files guide all content and design updates, consistent with the skill level of the person doing the maintenance. Regardless of your maintenance choice, we work together with your organization to insure that your website stays current and to retain the integrity of the original design.

Website Marketing

Once your site is launched you need to market it. How do you generate traffic to your new site? How do you reach your target audience? Ms Web Site Designers can provide guidance in this process, identifying marketing options and pointing you toward the resources you will need.
