Money
Business owners and managers know that it is less
expensive to consult with an outside web development team than it is to hire internally. You
don't have to pay for a year's salary (year after year), nor do you have to cover health
care, sick time, or vacation time, etc. to get the consistent expertise you need. You pay
only for the work performed for you, and with this, you get skilled, experienced professionals,
often more than one, who lend a great deal of expertise at a fraction of the cost of hiring
an in-house web development team. Once a team is assigned to your project, it is highly likely
that these individuals will remain assigned to you, whether you need something in a month from now
or a year or two down the road.
As some of our clients will attest, there is a significant difference in working with a professional
team than working with the less expensive "one man show" companies who simply cannot possess all of
the necessary skill sets we have, and who are simply unable to provide the level of support and backup that our
team comes equipped with. We have a very robust project management system that we built
in-house that helps us manage your project from start to finish. If one of our project managers is
out sick or away on assignment, any number of our staff can jump in at a moment's notice to give you
the support you need when you need it, not just when it's convenient for the "one man show"
developer.
Individualized Attention
You may notice that the sites we build rarely, if ever, resemble each other. This is because we craft websites with our clients' needs in mind, and never work from cookie-cutter templates. To see the difference, take a minute to review our Portfolio. Our team knows how to help you organize your business information,
can give you valuable inside information on how the web operates, and can work with you to prepare your site for
potential areas of growth that may be unforeseen to you at the beginning of the project.
Time
With so many web design products on the market, it's
easy to assume that you too can construct a website in record time. Keep in
mind, though, that with web development comes computer-aided graphic design,
general layout, new CSS standards, forms, database design and connectivity,
troubleshooting, and maintenance.
A small 8-10-page information website that
includes a contact information form, newsletter signup, and a few PDF files or
Microsoft Word documents can take the average novice "webmaster" 2-6 weeks(that's 80-240 hours) to
build. Like children, new webmasters are often very proud of their accomplishments,
but the rest of the world can usually spot a novice web design or cheesy website
template within seconds. These often lack a polished professional look that consumers trust.
Worse, the new webmaster learns that it is incredibly time-consuming, and many report becoming
"addicted" and "losing track of time" during their do-it-yourself web design
projects. This means that if your business is growing, you probably won't be
nurturing the business during the web development phase, and worse, your site
will look like an amateur made it.
If your business is growing, then you will quickly
learn that your website may need tweaking. Navigational menu items (and
corresponding pages) may need to be created in record time because you didn't
know what to look for when initially constructing your site. You may need to
redesign your site FAST if you have an important client on the hook. Do you have
time to prepare for your sales pitch (including the paperwork) and redesign your
site?
Longevity
We don't just design sites and discard them to a basic portfolio as though it were an art show. We take time to understand the challenges before carefully constructing a strategy implementing design or writing code.
Some of our clients have been with us since we began back in 1994, and they stay because we have not only earned their trust, but have worked very hard to maintain it. Their long-term success is a testament to our long-term success!
We are committed to building solid websites and relationships with our clients. Our developers collectively comprise nearly every skill set area of web development, and we have a powerful project management system designed to keep your project on track and moving forward. But we don't stop there. We maintain a copy of all our project notes and client files, and can provide backups at a moment's notice. We can pick up your project again when you are ready for the next phase of your business growth and development. We are here for you for the long-haul.
Idea To Reality
Have a great idea and want to put it to work
online? We can take your concept and develop it into a full-featured, turn-key
commercial website ready to earn revenue. We will combine your idea with
all aspects of your project such as initial planning (site
blueprint), graphics, technical writing, HTML and client side programming,
database and server side programming, testing, debugging, and launch.
Your ideas are a valuable commodity. Webmasters.com values your proprietary business information, and safeguards you by providing a Non-Disclosure agreement prior to discussing your project in detail. Your project manager will provide this document to you upon initial consultation.
Amazing Website Designs
At Webmasters.com, an amazing design is much more than a spectacular piece of art. While we're sure you'll agree that our designs are especially eye-catching, our philosophy is that our designs must be as pleasing to the eye as they are functional, intuitive and fluid. Web design is art with a purpose.
Commercial web design must include functionality, what the site allows you and your visitors to do, whether it be to allow members to sign up and gain access to member-only areas of information or give customers an easy way to access and pay for merchandise or services. It must be intuitive, drawing the eye to various links and information, and allowing visitors to navigate to all other important sections. It must be fluid, ready to be modified and updated and archived to remain current at a moment's notice - all done without ever changing its visually appealing qualities.
Don't just take our word for it. View the amazing work done by our talented designers in our Portfolio.
Custom Content Management Systems (CMS)
A CMS allows a non-technical person to make changes to a website without knowing (or needing to learn) even the slightest bit of HTML code. Our content management systems allow you to
manage your business quickly and efficiently, and they save you money in maintence costs. Some content managers can be customized and simplified to your specific needs. You won't need to call us to
add or modify an important sentence or paragraph. You also
won't need to contact us to manage your orders, products, images, or
customer database. We have content management systems that we built in-house, and we also work with off-the-shelf CMS's, Click here to learn more about what the right content management systems can do to streamline your daily business tasks.
Navigation Systems That Focus On Growth
With each new business level that you reach, you
won't always be able to predict which products or services are going to come
into or out of the spotlight. A custom navigation system that takes growth
into account during the initial planning phase will allow you to grow when you need to grow,
without a structural modification to the site as a whole (which can require a full redesign and be very costly). The navigation is a critical, foundational component to your
website; it's importance is often overlooked or under-estimated by more novice designers. Don't be snowed by a smooth talker. Ask for examples and how each site can grow navigationally.
E-Commerce / Online Payment Systems
The requests we have received for
ecommerce/shopping carts are as diverse as the businesses who ask for them.
Whatever it is that you're selling, we can create a way for your customers
to buy from you online. From general products and checkouts, to a
combination of products, services, and "virtual" products and memberships,
we can set it up for you. Our programming abilities are limited only by your
imagination and budget. Click here to learn more

Application Development Installation
No matter how complex your programming needs are,
we have the experienced developers who can get the job done. We typically
develop applications using Open Source
technologies, which has virtually no
functionality or licensing barriers, allowing us to create a totally custom
application doing exactly what you need, and the way you need it. We can
test, debug, and deploy your application on your server or ours, and
continue to support it in any way you need. Click here to learn more about our custom application services.

Our goal is to help you achieve highly-relevant traffic to your website that converts to real revenue. Click here to learn more about our Intenet Marketing services.
Migration To Open Source
We have helped hundreds of customers break free
from the burden of licensing restrictions, fees and required paid upgrades
by converting their web applications to Open Source. In most cases,
migrating to Open Source not only eliminates unnecessary costs, but also
adds more functionality and reliability. There is virtually no limit to what
an Open Source application can do when compared to its commercial
alternatives.
Website Transfer
Our design professionals can move your website to
a different web hosting provider or your own in-house server, and give you a
peace of mind that it was done right. Having no downtime or file loss during
the transfer would pay for itself many times over.
Webmaster On Call
Even if we did not originally design your site, we
can maintain it by performing updates and minor revisions for you on a
regular basis or when needed. We turn work out very quickly and can work with most deadlines.
