Application Development

'Custom Application' simply refers to any online application that we purpose build and custom tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. This can range from something as 'common' as a client management system where you can store and exchange information with your clients, to customized, industry focused 'online resources' that provide specific content to users - think online college courses, warehouse inventory management systems, a complete online billing solution, etc. ;) Regardless of the scope, our team is well versed in all aspects of design and development. Our track record and client referrals speak to the quality of our work and service. While building such applications we take a 'user centric' perspective; simply put, we build the application based on how it will be used by your and any other users - instead of building it around existing, pieced-together functions and making you learn how to get it all to work right !!

Market Exposure

Website Design

What started as our core service has grown into much more than 'typical' website design and development. Although the majority of the sites we design are CMS based, we also develop and deploy custom web site solutions for many clients; including the one you're on right now! Website design, or redesigns for that matter, can range from a basic blog or portfolio site to a full-blown social networking site or online store. The main reason Website Design remains one of our main services is simply the fact that it is usually part of the process in developing any of the other solutions. In the end, 'Website Design' can entail a typical website, a custom application with publicly accessible features and more..

Ecommerce

What exactly is the difference between our 'enterprise' eCommerce solution and a 'regular' eCommerce solution? Is there a difference at all? Great questions! The difference between 'regular' and 'enterprise' eCommerce has much to do with how it functions and the capabilities of the 'store'. For example, a 'regular' eCommerce store may handle up to 1,000 products, track stock, offer retail and wholesale 'customer' groups, and so on. That's great for a basic online store. But, what happens when you need sync with Quickbooks or other accounting program? What if you have more than 1,000 products - what if it's closer to 33,000 products?? How about multiple customer groups with varied pricing and discount tiers (eg. retail, employee, wholesale, etc.), coupons and gift certificates, an RMA System or downloadable products? If you happen have 10,000+ products and need to make adjustments across a wide range of them, would you prefer to do that one-by-one or via bulk editing capabilities? These are just a few of the features that differentiate our eCommerce solutions from 'regular' online stores. All of which make your job easier.

Newsletters / Email Marketing

various clients

Our team has designed and tested many email marketing initiatives. Email marketing, due to the wide variety of email programs and how they present emails differently, is a very detailed art. Starting with industry best practices and an understand of how each of these programs display emails, we hand code each newsletter/email campaign from the ground up. We then test each design to verify proper viewing and also create a plain text version for those that are not able to view HTML. Now that we have a stunning email newsletter, we apply best practices within the content to maximize click through and viewing ratios. With all these techniques the end result is an attractive, effective and consistent email marketing presence - a key to any successful marketing initiative.
