Website Design Services

Well-balanced website design is our core competency, and we believe it is best done in close collaboration with the client. We make every effort to incorporate your preferences, your business approach and your unique signature into the design. But we recognize that most people could use a little help translating those concepts into a functional business tool. That's another way we add value.

Our design principles:

• Useful, well-written content, appropriate for the intended audience
• Concise and logically organized information
• Focus on a few clear, compelling messages
• Simple and intuitive site navigation
• Quick-loading graphics that emphasize key points, not distract from them
• Attractive and unique overall look and feel
• Accurately reflects your company's image and core values

Content Creation Services

Informative, well-written content drives success on the worldwide web and is the basic ingredient of every good website. But getting your message to stand out from the clutter is not easy. Effective web communication is unlike traditional print, video, or the spoken word – although it borrows elements from each.

• If you have existing brochures, literature or other marketing material, we can hone that text and graphics into a form best suited for the web.
• If you've got little or nothing on paper but have some thoughts on what you'd like to tell the world about your company, we can help get those ideas out of your file drawers and your imagination and onto the computer screen.
• If you've been more occupied with running your business than with thinking about words and pictures that describe what you do, we can start from scratch and create that description, including photographs and other graphics . . . with your guidance, of course.

We can do as little or as much as required.

Site Implementation Services

Garnet Design Group can take care of all the details necessary to make your web site useful, easy to use and accessible to the world.

• We insure that the site has been thoroughly tested and debugged.
• We can submit and register your internet domain name, arrange for standard web hosting or secure servers, complete search engine registration forms, and other tasks on an as-needed basis.
• We include the pass-through charges for the commonly required items in our standard packages, to simplify the process. Any of the items can be unbundled if needed.

Maintenance Services

Like most other maintenance tasks, keeping a web site current usually becomes a lower priority than creating it was. That's just human nature. And like other periodic maintenance, most of us really need a formal plan in place to insure it gets the attention we know it should have.

Garnet Design Group offers a website update service that brings discipline to this process, yet makes it as painless as possible. Please refer to our Investment section for details and pricing.

Consulting Services

Garnet Design Group can provide valuable guidance regarding the optimal use of the Worldwide Web and related technologies. We offer consulting services either in conjunction with, or independent of website design and implementation.

For example, we have acted as an independent advisor for clients considering more than one design alternative, technology platform, or developer. An objective second opinion will often pay for itself several times over by avoiding the potential pitfalls that could keep a website from being successful.

Consulting services can be contracted on an hourly, daily, or project basis.
