Web Design

Make your web site work for you
At Around the Point, we recognize the importance of having a web site which meets the needs it was originally created to satisfy. Merely establishing a web presence is NOT going to mean instant success. Unfortunately, many people are under the mistaken impression that "...if you build it, they will come." This is simply not true!

You must establish a web site which is professional, functional, and meets the needs of the end-users. To do so, there are many factors to consider, including such things as: Design & Layout; Functionality; User-Friendliness; and Scalability.

Our services are tailored to meet the individual needs of our clients. We provide a number of different solutions, depending upon the type of work you require:

Consulting Services

• Our consulting services are available to every client, whether you you need a web site built from scratch, or simply want to improve upon an existing site. We will work closely with you to determine your goals, needs and expectations in order to develop a custom site strategy that works for you.
• We begin by providing each of our clients with an in-depth review of the site needs. If you have an existing site, this can include a complete site analysis as well. You will also receive a proposed design/re-design strategy, marketing plan, and reasonable time-line and budgeting guide to keep your project on track.

Site Analysis

• At Around the Point, we recognize the importance of having a site which not only looks great and attracts the end-user, but also has the necessary means to support the goals you have set. For this reason, we offer a detailed site analysis which reviews the strengths and weaknesses of any existing site, as well as proposed design/re-design ideas to make your goals a reality. While this site analysis is geared toward clients with an existing site, it can also be done on a projection basis to lay the foundation for a new site.
  
• This analysis can include a number of different factors including, but not limited to: general coding issues; cross-browser compatibility issues; user-friendliness; back-end structural needs; growth and maintenance issues; marketing and advertising possibilities; and, of course, the overall "look and feel" of the site.
  

Design and Development

• Once a strategy is in place, we will build the site to the exact specifications determined in the site analysis/design proposal. No matter if you simply require additions to an existing site or a complete site build from scratch, we have the technical expertise and knowlege to provide a finished product which meets your individual needs. From front-end design (layout, graphics, content, etc.) to back-end functionality (scripting, interactive forms, search engines, etc.) we can make your dreams a reality.
  
• A successful web site must have a strong marketing plan as its base. Our marketing expertise covers all advertising mediums: online, print, radio, and television. As you may be aware, the rules for online marketing are ever-changing and require constant attention. With our proven track record of success, you can be assured that we stay on top of the current trends and look ahead to future developments which may affect your site rankings. In doing so, we take the guess-work out of the marketing arena and provide you with the traffic and results that you desire.

Maintenance

• Once your site is established, it is important to keep the content fresh and up-to-date. We understand that this can be a time-consuming, and sometimes overwhelming, task. For this reason, we offer on-going maintenance of your site to ensure that nothing "falls between the cracks." Even if we did not design your original site, our maintenance services are still available to you. Whether your require regularly scheduled updates, or simply periodic changes, our services are tailored to meet your needs.
