Woodborne - web design and custom application development

Website Design

We specialize in website design and web graphics for small to medium businesses. We create clean, clear sites using solid design principles, straight-forward navigation, clean graphics and easy-to-read text.

There are so many DIY website development packages and services available today that the benefits of having a professionally developed website might not be immediately obvious. Many small business owners start by developing their website themselves using off-the-shelf software or online website templates only to discover that building a successful website requires time and specialized skills.

Building a website doesn't only mean making yourself a logo, figuring out what your business is all about and then throwing the whole thing on to the Internet to sink or swim. Website design has evolved into a complex partnership between art and commerce. There are hundreds of millions of websites out there, and if you want people to find yours you had better know something about making your website findable and user-friendly, not just for potential customers but also for the search engines. If you're interested in what Google thinks constitutes good search engine optimization and which SEO companies and practices to be wary of, please click here.

Something to be very aware of is how your website reads on mobile devices. More and more people are searching for businesses and products using their smart phones or pads and it's very important that your website shows well. For example, many of our potential clients ask us about Flash. We rarely use Flash. We feel that Flash is for rock bands and artists, not businesses. Not only do search engines not like Flash but it doesn't work on Apple's mobile devices and although it will load on some non-Apple smart phones it takes forever so what's the point.

At our first meeting we will work with you to analyze your business needs, give you practical advice and develop the best possible solution for your website. We will also discuss preliminary search engine optimization and explain some of the principles and realistic expectations. After determining your requirements, we will provide you with a fixed price quote.

If you require additional features for your website such as interactive elements that involve database design, additional fees will be charged.
