About
Below are descriptions of the services we offer to our clients. One of the most appealing features is the custom programs that allows you, the client, to update your website, change the text, add feature articles and news without having to know anything about web design. The purpose is to allow you, the client, not to have to pay a web developer to make changes every month, and people will come back and visit your site if there is something new to look at.
Website Design Services
Graphic Design:
Graphic design is much more complicated than just making a few pictures and putting them into your web page. Graphics have a huge impact on your site. It is important to understand not only how to create them but also how they affect the loading of the web page and the look. Large graphics might look good but too many or too large of graphics makes the page load very slow and most people will go somewhere else before they load completely.
Site Design & Layout:
This is probably the most important part of the design process. Making a complete site uniform and easy to navigate should be a priority. Putting all the important context of the site in the proper places so the viewers attention can be held long enough to accomplish what you are trying to do.
Flash Design:
This is one of the newest and most advanced technology on the net. Most browsers are capable of flash now and the animation capabilities in almost unlimited. This can give your site the perfect animation and user interaction and, if done properly, will long be remembered after they leave your site.
Online Database Programming
Both Perl and PHP are very powerful programming languages and can be used to create full featured programs that handle your database the way you need to. Anything from simple lists or news article managers, all the way to full featured content management and e-commerce shopping carts. This allows you to present your data to your visitors in a way that is more interactive. Back-end programming tools allows you to update this data yourself or you can have SBM Systems do it for you.
