What’s The Difference? | Web Design Greenville SC

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Recently we had a potential client ask us for a quote on a web site for his business; we have course prepared the quote and spent several hours with our potential client going through our creative questions and we had several meetings as well.

Well, you know how it goes. The customer went and got pricing from other web developers and web designers. Of course all of the quotes that came back at a lower cost than ours. So the customer ask, the Million Dollar Question, “What’s the Difference?”

So I explained to the customer that not all web developers / web designers are created equal nor do they provide an apple to apple comparison and most likely that most of other developers that he received quotes from left quite few things out in their proposals. So the customer asked if I would write a list of all the questions that he could then asked the other developers to see if we were comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges. After about 2 weeks of waiting I finally received a call back from the client and some of the developers had answered all of the questions. Not to my surprise, all of their quotes had gone up considerably and we ended up being the more reasonably priced.

Due to this client interaction we have developed a new page for our web site called Questions where we answer all of the questions that we proposed to the other web developers / designers. We have made this page so that other potential clients whom probably have some of these same questions can get answers straight from our web site.

Design and Function | Web Design Greenville SC

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

We have been developing web sites for over ten years, and we feel that the design and function of a web site is one of the most important aspects. To do this  you need the right web  designer.

There are two types of web designers, the designer that is truly an artistic designer, then you have the designer that is a programmer.  I think that every artistic designer longs to be a programmer and every programmer longs to be an artistic designer.  I believe that being a developer with both skills sets makes you the best web designer you can be for your clients.  You can have a very functional web site that looks horrible with bright neon colors, blurred pictures,  improper text, and distorted layout.  On the other hand you can have a beautifully designed web site that has bad function; such as, no hyper-links, forms that don;t work, no deep-links, no alt tags, no title tags, and no SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or SER ( Search Engine Registration).

When we develop a web site, we strive to make sure it has the best of both worlds, both design and function. We create each web site as a one of a kind web site. We don’t use templates … ever!

We blend design and function by using certain resources to help deliver the perfect web site for you the client.  Here is part of our process for providing you the perfect web site. We design your site initially in Adobe Photoshop, once the design is completed we will use Adobe Dreamweaver for back-end coding, we also will create a custom CSS page that will control the look and feel of your site. Then we might use Adobe Flash to add some animation to the navigation, animate a logo or we will add a animated intro.  Once this part is concluded we will make sure that all pages are linked and that all the code is validated. We then check your site in all browsers to make sure that the site will function properly so we can eliminate errors. One final thing that we do is make customer error pages that will help trap visiting customers in a page that will allow them to navigate to another page if they have an error.

We finish up by doing the SEO and SER, which alot of web site designers forget to include.  As Kevin Costner’s character in “Field of Dreams” is famously told, “if you build it they will come.” Well, when building a web site if you don’t do SEO or SER your site, then no one will come.

That’s all for now. We’ll be back soon with more thoughts on Web design. And now for the good stuff!
