Services

Image Maker Design provides professional, affordable web design and development services. We will design and develop a unique web site that is at once appealing, functional, and effective.

Creating and implementing such a site can be a complex undertaking that requires expertise in a wide assortment of specialties. Whether it's programming, design aesthetics, graphic optimization, or marketing, we can craft a customized solution to meet your specific web development needs.

The design of a web site has everything to do with planning the way it will look, function, and the overall presence it will make. From basic layout of information and navigation to custom graphics, the design influences how usable and attractive your site will be.

The goals that you have for your site and your intended target audience will determine such variables as:

• Layout and organization of the page elements
• Navigational flow
• Color palette
• Tone and style of the text
• Degree of interactivity

Whereas the design phase of a web project primarily involves planning the way the site will look and function, web development is the process of actually bringing these plans to life. Consequently, it requires expertise in the technologies that will be used to build and support the proposed design.

Some of the web features that we can develop for you include:

Used correctly, key web design elements like color, graphics, and animation all assist in conveying your message by guiding your audience around the page and drawing attention to important details. Conversely, nothing is more annoying than going to a web site that is overburdened with slow loading graphics.

Image Maker Design creates high quality graphics using the latest graphic design technologies. All of the graphic elements that we create for web pages download quickly without compromising their visual impact.

We offer a full range of graphic design services to meet all of your web site needs, including:

Domain Names

We can suggest domain names for you, check on their availability and register the name for you. Domain name registration and set-up fee (one time, includes first year of domain name) is $25.00. The annual domain name registration fee, after first year is $10.

At the heart of many web sites is functionality that is driven by custom programmed applications and database integration. We can custom design and develop web applications that advance the way you communicate and do business on the Internet.

Using scripting languages such as ColdFusion, ASP, HTML, and JavaScript, we build highly functional solutions fully integrated with a database back end. We will assess and define your needs, design your database architecture, and develop the custom application necessary to achieve your online objectives.

Here are some of the custom applications that we can implement for you:

• Dynamic database applications that keep you content fresh and enable you to update your web site and collect and manage important data
• E-commerce shopping carts and online ordering systems to manage orders, inventory, billing and reporting
• Password protection that limits entry for specified areas to pre-qualified visitors
• Advanced form processing including form validation, data manipulation, and email autoresponders

Keeping your web site current lets your visitors know that you are a company that is always evolving and dynamic. Fresh and up-to-date content is an incentive to visitors to come to your site again and again.

Consequently, organizations that take the Internet seriously formulate and follow a consistent maintenance plan to protect their online investment. We will work with you to develop an individualized maintenance plan that meets your company's specific needs while still fitting within your budget.

Developing web site content is different from creating printed materials such as brochures and direct mailers. You have to say what you want to say, and say it fast. Complete yet concise content brings in more customers and creates more business.

We are sensitive to these issues. We can adapt your current material and make it work for the web without losing the original vision. Or, if necessary, we can assist you with the development of your web site content from scratch.
