Custom Website Design & Initial Development
Blackstone Media believes that the design of a website must meet high standards. Accordingly, Blackstone Media creates websites that are:
- Attractive
Strong graphic design that is consistent throughout a website gives a sense of coherence as well as aesthetic pleasure. We tailor the graphic design of your site to your specifications and tastes. Your site should be part of your brand, and we have the tools and talent to create a site that helps tell your story.
- Well-Organized
A well-organized website takes into account both the nature of the material to be presented and the site's audience. Vital information is only a few clicks away. Even a one-page website benefits from intelligent organization and presentation of material. For a complex, multi-page website, good organization is essential.
- Easy to Navigate
Exploring a website should be a rewarding experience. Intelligent organization supports ease of navigation but it also helps to have the right buttons in the right places. Users should be given a good idea of how to get from one point to another no dead-ends or unnecessary backtracking. It is our goal to build a site that doesn't ever frustrate a user.
- Thoroughly Tested
We check the syntax of all code and verify all links to ensure that every website design we create works properly. Blackstone Media also proofreads pages carefully so that they are not marred by mistakes in spelling or grammar.
- Planning/Content
We begin the process of building a site by talking to our clients. We work together to assess what the site needs to do and how it should flow. Then we map out an organization chart of content and provide a throughly detailed, line-item quote and production schedule. You'll always know where your project stands.
- Marketing / Branding
We help you determine your goals, which are important in how the site is structured, what areas to highlight, and how the user-interface is designed. We do our homework to ensure your site will reflect other efforts and branding techniques. Your site becomes an extension of your brand and your business personality, and works with other marketing efforts that you have in place.
