Site Size
|
Most web sites, except extremely small ones, consist of a home-page plus secondary pages. Often, the ultimate size of your site is dictated by the nature of your business, the goals & budget you have set for your web site. For instance, Microsoft has a large web site that consists of thousand of pages. On the other extreme, a 1-bedroom vacation rental web site probably only needs a few pages and one inquiry form.

Contact Forms
|
Inquiry/Contact forms are ideal for businesses wanting to extract specific information from prospective customers. Forms make it possible to ask specific questions and give guidance to your prospective clients while they are filling them out. As a result, you will be able to extract far more relevant information than is possible from a simple e-mail link. This site incorporates a simple inquiry form, click here to check it out.

Graphics & Design
Most web sites have logos and/or a specific design or style to them. You may already have a logo/design that has been designed by a professional graphic artist for use on any media (stationary, flyers, brochures, web, etc.). If so, I can use it so select “I'll provide a web-ready graphical design”. If you don't have a design and you want me to create one then select “I'd like you to create a new design for me”.
New Purchase a pre-designed web template & save! Here's how it works, you purchase the template (typically less than $100), and I install it on your site. Standardized HTML/CSS templates are compatible with all my pre-written software like my slide-show, thumbnail viewer, content-management-software, calendar & e-commerce software.

Photos
|
Most web sites have one or more photos. The process of preparing and loading photos onto a site is more time consuming than simply adding text. Visually speaking, photos offer warmth & richness and this cannot be achieved with text alone.

Slide Show
|
You may have visited some of my web sites that run my Slide Show software. It runs on all current web browsers (no plug-in required). The Slide-Show streams the images (it is read-ahead optimized), making it a fast & efficient way to view full-size images - even over a slow connection. It is easy to update with my photo manager software. Try the slide-show now.

E-Commerce
- PayPal
-
I hook your site up to a PayPal shopping cart account. This is the most economical solution because all the typical functionality associated with an e-commerce site is out-sourced to PayPal. They provide the view-cart and secure checkout pages - which is a big deal! Some web developers jokingly call this a “poor man's shopping cart” however it works well, and for most small business owners it is an easy way to get an e-commerce presence on the web.
- Custom Shopping Cart
-
I write custom e-commerce software for your site. I work closely with you and program it to the exact needs & specs required by your business — shipping method, sales tax, credit-cards, gift-orders, etc. Unlike PayPal, the user remains on your site throughout the entire purchase process as the view-cart and checkout pages are part of it — they will never end up on a generic white PayPal page to view their order or checkout.

Mobile Optimized Web Site
|
The text on a typical web site is often difficult, or nearly impossible to read & navigate on the much smaller screen of a smart phone. As a result it is becoming increasingly important to offer a mobile-friendly alternative to your current website. The screen-shots below show the desktop version of my “About David” page on the left and the mobile optimized version of that same page on the right. Which one would you rather read on your smart phone?
