New Site Development

Strategic web planning is essential, and a common mistake is to design your site "backwards." People often surf the web and look for animations, elaborate graphics, and other "bells and whistles" thinking they are good additions to their own site. Generally, they are not.

Blitz Media Design will help guide you to strategically plan your site in a logical and effective fashion by:

• Developing an effective web site plan to meet short and long term objectives;
• Presenting your most compelling sales message;
• Helping to identify the proper keyword phrases required to give your site a good position in search engines;
• Designing the most effective means of site navigation to make it easy for your visitors to find vital information;
• If required, obtaining an effective domain name and setting the site up on our hosting server or one of your choosing;
• Installing scripts or develop database solutions for special interactive features and dynamic sites;
• Providing graphic design, Flash and photographic services for your web site or promotional materials;
• Developing a site draft for your review and approval;
• Building and testing the site from a variety of browsers on both Windows and Macintosh platforms;
• Submitting the site to search engines;
• Monitoring the results for a defined period, making changes as necessary to improve results, and, if you wish, maintaining your site to keep it current and dynamic.

Web Redesign & Optimization

For existing sites, Blitz Media Design will analyze the website to determine its current effectiveness and what can be done to make it better. Once our review is concluded, we will provide a report on our findings and make specific recommendations regarding:

• Improving navigation, load times, link integrity, browser compatibility, overall effectiveness and/or position in search engines;
• Adding special features such as DHTML menus, mail forms, JavaScript utilities, or other features you want added;
• Optimizing photographs and graphics, making them load faster while maintaining quality appearance;
• Adding pages, submitting to search engines, helping you switch to a new web host, or providing any other guidance you require in relation to improving your business presence on the web;
• Improving or adding e-commerce capability where appropriate.

Web Site Maintenance & Analytics

Making your web site live should be a starting point, not a conclusion. You need to:

• Monitor results – how many visits, how do people find you, what pages are most effective, and more;
• Keep your web site dynamic – update often;
• Give people a reason to come back, such as online reference tools, opt-in newsletters, free samples, etc.

Blitz Media Design can assist with any of these activities to the extent you desire. If you wish us to handle updates, prepare (or in some cases, even write) newsletters, or provide regular reports on site activity, we are happy to do so. If you have someone in your organization with modest computer skills, we can set up a content management system and train you to do your own web site updates. The extent of user-level updating can be adjusted to the comfort of the person doing the updates, limiting it to text changes on a few individual pages, or allowing extensive changes to pages, graphics, links and more.
