A well-designed website does more than just look good. It conveys to your users a sense of professionalism and dedication to promoting an image that is in line with your brand. You wouldn't have a storefront that was dated and hard to navigate or else customers wouldn't buy anything. The same is true with your website and as the world wide web matures,of this is becoming more and more important.
Our website design process is simple. We start with a blank canvas. We meet with you to learn about you and your business. We discuss your branding consistencies, between print and digital mediums. Once we have a better understanding of your brand and vision we start the visual design of your new website. This is either a static mockup design, showing how your site will look on a variety of screen sizes, or an interactive visual mockup using a very cool user-experience platform. At A3 Creative Solutions, we take pride in creating custom, beautiful, websites that are clean, responsive to work on all devices, and user-friendly. Our process focuses on the user while satisfying your business needs and objectives. Whether you are building a simple 5-page website, an e-commerce site, or an online magazine, your company needs an intuitive, informative, and efficient website. Our complete package of web design and web development services cover everything from the initial planning, to search engine optimization, to final implementation and testing, making your website equally valuable for your visitors and your company.
Website strategy
What are your company goals? Who are your customers? How much new content do you need or what content do you need for maximum SEO exposure? How will your new website help your other digital marketing initiatives? Are you selling your products online? We learn about your business, your customers, and even your competitors. Then we use that information to build a strategy for your site that will help you reach your goals. We are all about long-term results. We want your website to be effective now and for years to come.
Our website strategy meetings are typically the first kick-off meeting and this is when the fun begins!
