web design & development

All of our websites include

• user-friendly navigation with consistent menus on every page of the site
• graphics (backgrounds, buttons, color scheme, etc.) to fit your site goals and audience
• search engine optimization
• compatibility with the top browsers for both Windows and Macintosh users
• accessible to differently-abled (i.e., blind, deaf) web users
• style sheet for a consistent look and feel
• email addresses coded to avoid unsolicited junk email (aka spam)
• custom error pages so you don't loose your site visitors

If this list looks like it's written in geek.... We'd be happy to explain it to you in simple English!

Website tune-up

Let us evaluate your website design, content, and search engine optimization to see if its performance can be improved.

We can redesign the look of your site, make its navigation more user-friendly, reorganize and/or add new content, modify your site so that you can regularly update it yourself, make your site easier for search engines to know what is on it and improve your site's performance.

DIY ~ update your site in-house

We can setup your site so that YOU can edit content easily without knowing anything about XHTML, CSS, XML, RSS, FTP –– all with inexpensive software. Update text and add images, calendars, PDF forms - without risk of messing up your site style or design!

Advantages of editing a site in-house

• Content updates without the cost of a web expert
• Easy to keep your site fresh & relevant
• Easy publication of new pages
• Team collaboration
• Consistent site design
• Update approval for managers (if desired)
• Page versioning - you can "roll back" to an earlier version if you make a mistake

Updating a website yourself empowers you to keep it current. No technical expertise required beyond comfort with Microsoft Word and a web browser like the one you're using to read this.

Website hosting

A web host stores your site files on servers (hard drives that are on all the time) so they can be viewed online anytime.

We offer you peace of mind by setting your site up with dependable, secure hosting.

Domain name registration and management

A domain name is a web sites Internet address - for example doctorgeek.net

• We can search for and purchase the best domain names for you from a reputable company, & make sure that you don't lose them.
• Find out more and register a domain name here.

For Mac users - iWeb setup and assistance

With Apple's iWeb software, Mac users can publish great looking sites that are easy to update. We can set up your site, add your site content, and train you to update your site. For examples of our iWeb assistance, please visit:

• Dianne Whitmire - Toyota fleet manager
• Kathleen McCall - artist
• ajana fitness - yoga, pilates, personal training, sound healing, and reiki

Site maintenance

Regular updates encourage visitors (and search engine "bots") to return to see what's new.

• An annual maintenance contract makes sense for regular monthly site updating – for announcements, schedule changes, special offers, etc.
• Clients with little need for routine website updates can request changes as needed. This includes one-time small "fixes" to a website.
