Principles of quality Web design

The key to quality Web design is simplicity, good organization, attractive graphics, ease of use and fast load time.

A visually stunning but impossible-to-navigate website will not attract return visitors.

A site that is hard to maintain and update will incur needless expense.

A site with a design that cannot grow with the needs of your organization is a burden.

We work closely with you to insure that your website works for you.

Affordable website rates

We can keep your costs low by combining templates we've designed with low cost software packages. It's our way of keeping website costs at an affordable level.

We can install software that will allow you to make updates of your site through your Web browser with no knowledge of confusing computer code.

The website development team

A well-done website needs careful coding, skilled graphic design, and a talent for organizing information and content.

We are pleased that Steve Richter has joined our Web team as head programmer. He has many years of experience building Web applications for both government and the private sector.

Jeff Stein is our Flash guru and can provide you with sophisticated sound and animation to put your site on the move.

Suzan Erem, a versatile writer with experience in journalism and the labor movement, is available for writing and editing web content. Suzan has published two books.

Close collaboration with you at all stages of the development process is crucial. Working with you from a different city is not a problem. We use phone, fax, Web and e-mail to communicate. We send preliminary designs as Acrobat files that can be opened on any computer.

When the design is approved, you may visit your "site-in-progress" at any time to critique it and make suggestions.

A website is a team effort and you are the most important member of the team.
