Metaglyphics works with you to develop a plan for your web site from site objectives to target market, expenses, and deadlines. We help you to identify which business applications, tools and technologies are most advantageous given your market, customer base, and business objectives.
You may have already made a significant investment in your logo, corporate identity and brochures. We believe your site's design should enhance your marketing program. We begin with an analysis of materials you already have and work from there.
We start the design process with sketches on paper and then translate those designs to the computer in Adobe PhotoShop. We build customized web sites, giving your site an polished look that effectively represents the image of your company. Our goal for your project is to maximize the visual interest of your site, while at the same time allowing your audience to find what they need as quickly as possible.
Our designs are clean, intuitive and easy to navigate. We design sites that support your content and make it simple to find, while communicating clearly and expressing your image and ideas. Metaglyphics believes your web presence should be a tool to connect you and your clients, not an obstacle between you.
We hand code our web sites, which means we are writing the actual code, not relying on a WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editor to write the code for us. This eliminates unnecessary code that can cause your site to load slowly. On the internet, the web site that answers the visitor's question first is usually the one that will land the customer.
We program using proven web launguages such as HTML, PERL, CGI, ColdFusion, ASP, JavaScript, Java and PHP. We ensure that your site is cross-browser and cross-platform compatible. Since we use standard web languages, you aren't locked into specific web hosting companies or expensive software upgrades.
Throughout the development process, you will have access to your site in a private area so that you can check our progress and share your ideas and suggestions with our developers. Your web site shouldn't be a surprise when it's delivered. With Metaglyphics as your partner, you are an integral element of the design and development.
Metaglyphics will work with you to determine which hosting company best fits your needs and budget. We have relationships with a broad range of web hosting companies, from very basic options to more complex hosting packages for e-commerce and database driven sites.
After your web site is launched, it will need to be maintained. Managing your site can extend its useful life, maximize its return on investment and consistently increase in marketing value for your company.
We can work with you to develop a custom maintenance plan to suit your needs, either with a fixed monthly fee or on a per instance basis. Alternately, should you wish to maintain the site in-house, we can provide training for your staff.
For sites with content that will be updated more frequently, Metaglyphics can develop a back-end administration area of your web site. This will allow you to log into a secure area and edit the content on your site as needed. Our content management applications are easy to use and require no programming knowledge. This solution also allows you to make instantaneous updates, to keep your site as current as humanly possible.
