Website Design & Development
DJ's designs and develops websites that look good, function well, communicate effectively, and motivate action
Good Design
Good design is about building trust and credibility with users. Creating this experience requires understanding and designing for the factors that influence users most: (1) the product / service knowledge; (2) the informational time of need; (3) the decision-making process; and (4) the feelings toward the product / service. Smoothly moving users through unawareness > awareness > liking > preference > action is the foundation of good design.
Before we open any tools, we ask the questions and do the research required to guide the design in a calculated, careful way. Understanding your users drives key design components such as an intuitive navigation; how to best structure and label content; and where to place the key decision drivers and calls-to-action.
Well Developed
We bring the project plans and designs to life through code. We are business- and design-focused backend programmers whose main priority is to make the envisioned solution a reality. Our main development priority is code that functions smoothly without surprises.
We have experience with many programming languages. Our preference is the PHP language to allow for diverse and wide ranging features and functionality to be added in over time. We keep our programming skills sharp through lifelong web development research and learning.
Engaging Statements
Subtle graphics and movement improves engagement, explains content better, and drives attention to call-to-action elements. Hover states, sliding interactions, scroll events, moving infographics, and multimedia are all examples of elements that we can implement to improve user experience through design-powered engagement. We use a combination of Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Animate (formally Flash), and Adobe Stock to implement engagement visions.
Fully Compatible
Our websites are accessible to a large audience. With responsive layout, our websites function and respond across desktops and mobile devices regardless of the platform. In addition to typical responsive websites, we can program fixed websites, fluid websites and adaptive websites given specific project requirements.
Good Results
We have the real-world experience and formal training know-how to attract targeted visitors to websites. We operate with one foot in Consumer Behaviour. We are available to help utilize the web to:
- Increase website usage by users.
- Increase the number of users.
- Increase the average size of revenue per user.
Our approach to growing results is straightforward: Start small. Test results. Expand tests that are successful. Discontinue tests that are not.
When a specialized, broader marketing mind is beneficial, we have great marketing referrals.
