Web Design - The look and feel of your web site
Web design is the art and engineering of building a visually pleasing, interactive and functional experience. This is done using a Web browser, a Web server and your content, and then linking it all together with software code written in languages like HTML, JavaScript, ASP and PHP.
Let us create your Web Site
Our experience in building web sites and systems integration allows us to quickly build you a site that clearly communicates your message and is uniquely yours. Our developers enjoy providing a rich, robust and scalable web experience to our customers and we prefer not to use templates extensively. We can integrate your web site with ‘back-end’ systems providing specialized services like guest books, databases, community forums and ecommerce. We believe that your site should project your image and not blend in with the rest.
If you already have existing digital ready content we can integrate it right into your web site. If you don’t have digital ready content we can help convert it for you. We can partner with you in generating new content and will provide minor graphic and touchup work when requested.
Create your own Web Site
Using free or off the shelf software to create a simple Web Site is relatively easy and if you want this option you will want to request your own FTP account when we setup your account. You will have full control of your site and we will not perform any updates or charge a monthly maintenance fee.
Web Hosting - The nuts and bolts of your web site
Web Hosting is the set of services that include registering your domain name, hosting your web site files on our servers, delivering email services, and hosting databases and other server applications that provide services to your web site.
Worry free Hosting - we take care of it all.
We partner with a major Internet Hosting and Services firm located in Scottsdale Arizona. Their dedicated 24x7 in-house support staff ensures that your site is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all year along. Any unlikely systems issues that may arise are resolved quickly and transparently.
We offer a full range of hosting services for large and small sites. We can offer you sites with a 5 page site for your organizations' photos and a blog, and we can also host a world class web site on a dedicated server and running a full set of ecommerce and line of business applications. Please visit our Online Store for additional details.
Hosting Maintenance
Hosting maintenance is a catch-all name for the monthly work done to keep your web site running and updated with minor content changes. This usually takes 30 minutes for a small to medium site.
Major page updates and structural changes are considered new work and not maintenance.
Email
We provide email accounts with each hosting plan and more accounts can be purchased at any time.
Each standard email account is associated with your domain name that can be accessed by both your email client and by a web browser.
Email forwarders
We provide email forwarder accounts with each hosting plan and more accounts can be purchased at any time.
Forwarding accounts allow you to create a new email name that people can send mail to. All mail that is sent to the forwarding address is then forwarded to another account specified by you.
Forwarding accounts can be used to create email names like ‘contactus@yourbusiness.com’. Any mail sent to this address is forwarded to one or more of your employee email accounts for review and processing.
Each email forwarding account has no mailbox associated with it and you cannot access it directly by either your email client or a web browser.

You do not have to pay this fee, and we will not perform any monthly maintenance. Any updates will be charged as new work.
About updating your Website
When we maintain and update your site, we will do our best to respond to requests for time sensitive updates like announcements and sales, but do ask that you please keep these to a minimum and schedule your updates for the scheduled monthly maintenance time.
We do reserve the right to determine whether the number of the requested updates fit within the scope of work intended to be covered by the monthly maintenance fee and will tell you first whether we will bill you additional work.
