The Difference
Our approach to web development begins with putting ourselves in your shoes and understanding what your small business needs. Websites are not a “one size fits all” creation, and we believe that each client has unique needs. Websites are an investment, and that’s why we work hard to have the best customer care and satisfied clients. We are up-front about our costs and work closely with you to provide the personalized care you deserve without any “surprises” along the way.
You Own It
D.A. Designing builds websites so that our clients own all of the back-end tools and technology we create. This means that you can take all of the work you paid for and move it to any host or service provider you choose. When website developers don’t do this, it can create several hassles and unexpected costs. When you don’t own the technology you paid for, you can get roped into ongoing monthly fees or even lose your investment if you choose to switch providers or hosts. We believe in being up-front about all of our costs involved in web development and put the technology in our client’s hands.
That’s why all of our clients receive a quote up-front so they know what type of investment to expect, and in the end walk away with technology they own, without being tied to our services or any monthly or long-term contracts.
Make it Yours
We customize all websites to showcase the unique image and style of each of our clients. To start the process, we take the time to get to know your company, identify your target audiences and spy on your competitors. Just kidding, we don’t spy… but we do research them to understand your industry.
After gathering information, we provide three distinct web design options (including a home page design and secondary page design.) Often times, our clients will pick and choose different elements from each of the designs they like, and we provide a final concept that includes all of the favorites. We believe in happy customers so much, we’ll provide a new round of designs at no additional charge until our client is happy. We want complete satisfaction with the final design choice.
We Get It
At D.A. Designing, we’re more than web developers and graphic artists. We’re professional marketers who bring years of corporate marketing experience to the table. For over a decade, we’ve worked with corporations on their overall branding solutions. This experience is what goes into our creative designs and solid back-end technology. When we work on your website, we are not just addressing it from a visually appealing or technology-based standpoint, but we care about the experience of your customers and desire to reach those individuals from a solid marketing perspective.
We also know that no matter how great your site looks, it is virtually useless in today's market unless it is properly constructed for search engines (such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing). We are experts in optimizing your site for top search results. Some companies pay high prices each year with outsourced companies who promise first page results. Our optimization is built into our site development and with the proper development and coding; we can help your site achieve high search results without any additional fees and then we can provide you with the training you need to optimize your overall web presence.
Best Practices
Have you ever pulled up a website and the formatting looked liked a huge mess? Chances are the company either used a system to create their own website, or the developer did not take the time to test the formatting in the different browsers. The latest statistics show that about 52% of all internet users are utilizing Internet Explorer as their browser. Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, and Safari comprise the next largest percentage of browser usage and the remaining 5% is comprised of a smattering of other browsers.
What many users don't know is that different browsers read and display Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) differently. If not tested and properly coded, your website, for example may look fantastic in Firefox, but may not display properly at all in Internet Explorer.
At D.A. Designing, we ensure that your site will display properly across all the major Internet browsers including Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, and 9 (when released), as well as Firefox 2 and 3, Google Chrome, and Safari (used by over 96% of the population).
