Web
Site Layout and Design
Planning,
layout, design, theme, color and navigation are the building
blocks of a quality Web site. This applies to creating a new
Web site or redesigning an existing site. Secondary considerations
are forms, counters, tables, and links.
Studio
545 believes that navigation must be easy and consistent, download
time must be quick, the layout must be universally browser friendly,
and the entire site must have a unity of theme and/or color that
reflects the company or individual it is portraying.
Graphic
Design
Custom
designed elements such as backgrounds, button links, and banners are
very important parts of a Web site. It is important to have your site
reflect your existing 'look'. Studio 545 will scan existing art, or create
new artwork specifically for use on the Web, to make your Web site one-of-a-kind.
Studio
545 has been formally trained in creating, editing, photo touch up,
as well as using artistic filters and effects. Understanding the
limits of the Internet, artwork preparation and implementation
must be Internet friendly in download time, while maintaining visual
quality aesthetics.
Web
Hosting Setup & Domain Name Registration
One
of the first considerations of having a Web site is deciding what you
will call it. Studio 545 can also help you find a domain name for your
Web site, (www.yourname.com). If you don't already have one, we can help
you find a suitable and available domain name and register it for you.
Once
you have registered a domain name, the next step is to decide where
you will put it. You will need to buy space on the Internet through
a service that will 'host' your Web site. This is where all your
Web site files will reside. Studio 545 can set you up with a reputable
Web hosting provider, to make your connection to the Internet a
carefree endeavor.
Site
Promotion
Once
your Web site is up on the Internet for the world to see, Studio
545 can promote your site by submitting it to all the major Web directories
and search engines, in categories that are specific to you or your
product.
Web
Site Maintenance
Studio
545 can update your site at your request on regular basis. Maintenance
includes updating text information, inserting new or additional photos,
resubmitting to search engines, and other miscellaneous updates or changes.
Shopping
Cart Development
Integrate a shopping cart onto a new or existing web site. A web design professional
will work with you to setup your shopping cart and customize it
to match your site’s design, look and feel.
Bells
and Whistles
Flash
animation or splash pages, Java script rollovers, music, sounds, and
animation are the fun elements that add uniqueness to a Web site. Studio
545 can tastefully implement these elements into your Web site, with
constraint.
