Why should you choose us to design your website?

It seems like these days everybody and their cat is a web designer.  With so many choices and price ranges how are you going to decide who to work with?  We suggest that you make a critical assessment of what you want your website to DO and then look at a designer’s sites and see if those sites do what you want your site to do.

Self Managed WebsitesSelf Managed Sites

We focus on clients who want to manage and maintain their own sites. We design our sites to make it as easy as possible for them to add and edit content, to re-organize where necessary and to add new functionality. We don’t think our clients should have to hire us to make minor adjustments, we do the heavy lifting so that they can do the rest.

We are Web DevelopersWe’re Web Developers

Website designers come in different flavors.  We are the “web developer” flavor.  That means we are focused on how the site works, more so than on how it looks.  This makes us a great fit for someone who wants a dynamic interactive site and who already has a strong graphic vision for what it looks like.  Graphic designers like us a lot because we are careful to implement all of the graphic elements they’ve designed as faithfully as possible.  We like the challenge of customizing code to make the graphic vision a reality.

We have good color and layout sense and an eye for attractive design, but you wouldn’t hire us to design your logo.  Sure, if the graphics are relatively simple, we can handle it.  However, if you don’t have a good graphic vision we can help you select a graphic designer who can help you refine that.  The best website design happens when the web developer and the graphic designer work together from the beginning.

Unique Businesses Need Unique SitesUnique Businesses, Unique Sites

We like to work on projects that have a unique appearance and reflect the special requirements of the individual business they support.  For that reason none of our sites are based on canned, pre-made templates.  As small business owners for over 25 years we understand the needs of local, small business.  We like to put that experience to use when we work on a site.

Search Engine OptimizationReal World, White Hat SEO

We know from first hand experience how make sure our sites get noticed and indexed by search engines.  It’s called Search Engine Optimization – it’s not rocket science or magic.  Our sites are SEO friendly and come with SEO software built in.  That software will allow you to fine tune and optimize the SEO for every page on your site.

Seattle Web DevelopersSeattle Web Developers

We live and work in Edmonds, Washington a suburb of Seattle.  While our clients come from all over the English speaking world we love working with folks in our home town.  If you want the personal experience of meeting with your web developer face to face and you’re in the greater Puget Sound region, you’re in luck.  We’re happy to meet face to face to discuss your project.
