How We Establish Your Image

If you want to start from scratch, often the color scheme is the best place to begin.  First we work with you to  create a co-ordinated palette for you. If you already have "signature colors", we can help you expand that into a full palette to use throughout the website to give your web presence continuity.

Next, if you don't already have a logo, we will create one using that color scheme and then use your new logo and color scheme to design and build a cohesive web site with a central theme. Read more...

Secure Set-Up and Installation

Many new computers arrive already bogged down by excess programs and utilities that you will never need. You never really know how well it COULD work. Known as "bloatware", some of the largest computer builders (Dell, HP, Compaq) are the biggest offenders. Many other new computers are compromised within the first few days before their owners have a chance to  learn how to keep them secure.

Why go through that? Let us set up your new computer, streamline it to run at its potential, immunize it against problems, and get you off to a good start.

Viral and Malware Extermination

We do on-site assessment of malware or viral infections. We will come to your home or office and assess the problems with any computer or network and give you good solid advice on how to proceed.

If your computer needs time consuming multiple scans, we can take it back to our "lab" so we can run those scans without having to charge you for all the time it takes to let the scans do their work. We keep up to date on the latest malware released "in the wild" and have a full arsenal of tools at our disposal to root out and defeat the toughest of computer infections.

Static Sites (HTML)

If it will fit your needs, the least expensive option for a web presence can undoubtedly be a static HTML site. Don't misunderstand, the term "static site" simply means the pages themselves are created and stored on the server and then the user's browser calls up the entire "static" page when it visits the site. A "static HTML site" can still have lots of interesting features, slide shows, and even flash or video features,

Pricing for static HTML sites is fairly straightforward. Like most design companies, we charge per page and then give you an "a la carte" choice of a number of extras..

Content Management Sites (CMS)

Content Management Sites, or CMS, are so flexible, dynamic and scalable that it is impossible to set static prices. If you are interested in a CMS site (and if you want a cutting edge site with maximum flexibility you should really consider one) we will work with you and follow a basic workflow to arrive at a firm contract and price based on the site you want created before we begin.

We will meet with you, find out exactly what you have in mind, work up a mock-up and design ideas, present that to you, set a price for the project, sign a contract with you and move ahead with the design.
