Website Design Elements
There are many elements which go into the creation of a website and all of these elements
must work together to define a unified whole. Below we have listed several of the elements
which may be required for your website...
Look & Feel
- Graphics Design - Our graphics artists work with you to develop the look and
feel that conveys the image of your company that you want to project.
- Flash Animation - Flash animation (such at the moving text at the top of
this page) can add a heightened level of interest to the page to draw the viewer's
attention.
- Java and Java Script - This technology can add enhanced functionality to
the page as well as creating visual appeal. The effect on this page of the menu and
tabs changing color when you move your mouse over them is done using Java Script.
- Style Sheets - The latest browsers support style sheets. If you have one
of these browsers, you will notice that the hyperlinked text has a mouse-over effect
which is created using style sheets. If you do not have a new-version browser, then you
will see normal links.
- Streaming Media - If you have audio or video clips to be played on your site
then you will require streaming audio/video. We can prepare the proper web-based
streaming files from your source content.
Depth of Content
- Navigation - When your site contains many pages, providing a good way
for your users to quickly find and view the pages is important. A good navigational
scheme is important.
- Dynamic Pages - When the number of products you are displaying is large,
it may make sense for the pages to be dynamically built, pulling the information
for each item from a database to populate a template page instead of building each
product page individually.
- Scanning - We have the tools necessary to convert your catalog pages or
other text and photographs into web-based content for your website, or we can work
from your digital files in nearly any format.
Programming
- Database - Many sites require a database to hold product information,
orders, or other information. We are highly proficient in database design and
programming for web use.
- User-Administered Pages - Sometimes there are pages which change
frequently (jobs available, daily specials, etc) where it would be inconvenient
or costly to have the web designer make constant changes. We can design pages
which are user-changeable allowing you to log in to a special web page with your
username and password. From there you can update the page contents yourself, with
no particular experience in web design required.
- Custom Functions -You may have a task which you want the website to do
which is unique to your business. We can develop those web-based applications and
integrate them into your site and business flow.
