5 Reasons Why We Rock at Web Design
1. Standards-compliant, cross-browser compatible: We test all of our websites in all major browsers, including: Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, FireFox (PC, Mac), Safari (PC, Mac), Opera (PC, Mac).
It is extremely important to have a standards compliant, cross-browser compatible website since some browsers (for example, Internet Explorer 6) tend to render websites differently. Careful attention must always be given to correct any browser-specific inconsistencies.
2. XHTML and CSS validation (w3c.org): Our websites comply with strict web standards to ensure that each website is accessible for all types of users. The visually impaired, mobile browsers, past and present web browsers - anyone can access our websites.
Don't cut corners - make sure that your website has valid XHTML and CSS! Not only does it make you look cooler, but it communicates to any web-savvy visitors that you're serious about your website. XHTML and CSS valid websites are usually less buggy than invalid ones.
3. Industry renowned communication: A quick glance at our testimonials and you will see that Chromatic Sites excels at communication. Since any successful web design process requires a great deal of collaboration between the client and the web design company, communication is extremely important. Chromatic Sites uses several powerful web applications which help facilitate the collaboration between us and the client, ensuring superior communication and ultimately, a high-quality website. These web applications include:
Basecamp Project Management: Basecamp is a web-based tool which allows us to manage and track projects and ideas in one central, easily accessible location - on the Internet. Rather than sending tons of e-mails back and forth, Basecamp allows us to organize messages, create milestones and to-do-lists, and even communicate live via chat room with our clients, all within their favorite web browser. Most importantly, the client will always know exactly what is happening with their project. We use Basecamp extensively.
Highrise: Highrise is a shared contact manager that helps Chromatic Sites keep track of who we talked to, what was said, and what to do next. Rest assured, you won't need to tell us something twice. We take notes, and we take a lot of them.
4. Optimized websites: Website optimization is an integral part of any successful web design process. The website must load as quickly as possible (visitors hate waiting for slow loading websites) and it must be optimized for the search engines. All of our websites are coded with XHTML and CSS, use compressed media (images, video, audio, Flash), have clean code, and are SEO friendly (see our article, Essential Guide to Creating SEO Friendly Website Design).
5. Content Management System (CMS) included: One of the greatest reasons to choose Chromatic Sites over other web design companies is because all of our websites include a content management system. Professional web design companies offering similar quality web services charge an additional $5,000 - $10,000 for a website with content management integration. Not Chromatic Sites. We price the content management system into every website proposal and refuse to create a website without a content management system included.
