Your website is the first contact many potential customers will have with your business. Have you considered the message they get from that first contact?
Does your website work the same on all browsers and computer platforms? If not, the message you are sending is that you only care about serving some of your customers, not everyone. Does your page take a long time to load? What does that say to the millions of people who access the internet via phone modem? And do you get questions from people using your site about where they should go to find the information they need? Realize that for every person who calls or emails you to ask, 10 people are simply going elsewhere to get what they are looking for - usually to one of your competitors.
At Otherwinds, we've been building websites for as long as there have been web browsers to view them with. We understand how to make attractive websites that also work across all browsers while remaining quick, responsive dynamic and easy to navigate. We do this by creating sites which are designed from the outset to be easy to update and expand without constant need for redesign and costly recoding. By doing things right to begin with, we always save our clients time and money over the life of their website.
We also know how to utilize the best technologies and latest advances without compromising backwards compatability for those without the latest and greatest computers. Instead of trying to showcase the latest gimmicks and trendy color schemes, we build sites that adhere to web standards and maximize usability instead of overblown animations that take minutes to load. We start with your needs, work with your staff and your users to profile what they need from your site, then design based on those needs instead of the working the other way around.
Unlike many web firms, we have strong experience with helping clients move existing brands, logos and corporate advertising themes to the web in ways that extend and enhance their potential. This means making your website an integral and exciting part of your corporate image that does things print can't do and other media can't do at a reasonable cost - not just taking the information from your corporate brochure and putting it onto a web page.
Ask us about how to utilize technologies and standards that can make your website really shine. Let us show you how you can design a site to allow users to customize its appearance with a single click - or how to take your news items and make them available in an RSS syndication format which will drastically increase their impact with the media and news websites. We can show you how to move your site to the top of search engine listings, how to update your website yourself using nothing but your web browser, and how to use online marketing to drive users to your site.
If glitz is what you are looking for, we can also develop animated websites using the latest Flash, Shockwave, digital video, Quicktime VR and 3D animation in ways that integrate seamlessly into your site rather that just serving as gimmicks and movies that play when a user enters your site. We can also show you exciting ways to extend your marketing through multimedia emails - and engage your customers with screensavers that update themselves over the web with the latest information from your website.
