A web site does one of two things. For businesses, it advertises and promotes specific products and/or services – the site acts as marketing platform. For individual focus, a web site is a means of self-promotion to the world.
The amount of information and topics you want or need displayed will dictate the number of pages – the size of your site. This is something we will discuss with you. To make your web site user-friendly and to communicate its contents effectively, your information will be arranged in an easy to discover and review order. If you do not have an idea as to how you would like your information to appear, we will help you make those decisions.
