Design & Development
|
Unless your Web site is ready to be deployed, design and development
comprise the two stages of your cost. The first stage is
design. We strongly encourage our
clients to provide as much of the design in electronic format or on
diskette as possible. This includes understanding what your Web site
layout will look like and providing the text and graphics of that layout
on diskette. If needed, CPC of Florida is available to design your site
for you- from verbal discussion, from pictures or text you provide to us
on paper, from scanning your existing brochures, or via any means from
which you present us with the information required. CPC of Florida recommends that you take the following Web site design tips into consideration: * First impressions are everything. Your home page should display quickly and cleanly. Assuming you have additional linked pages off of your home page, from this home page it should be clear to the visitor what this site is all about. * Graphic images above 30 - 50k bytes will keep some people away from your site. Think twice before turning away users with slow modems due to your large graphic images. Also, if providing us with pictures, carefully consider what the image will look like after being scanned. * Avoid dull pictures, choose sharp images and contrasts not everyone has a high resolution monitor.
Development comprises the second part of your cost. Unless you are a Web developer, CPC of Florida will normally develop your Web site for you after the design is complete. Development includes converting the design to the language of (HTML) and reformatting as required, adding hypertext links as appropriate, and potentially integrating actual software programming modules into your Web site. Automatic e-mail response forms, custom-designed order forms, database search engines & clickable buttons. These optional modules can add tremendous capabilities to your Web site and really make your site alive and standout from the rest. It is typical that a Web site starts as a "basic" site and grows. As UNIX and TCP/IP developers, CPC of Florida is available to provide any level of sophisticated cutting & leading edge technology. |
