Web Site Development

With over 13 years experience developing Web sites for small businesses, we can design, overhaul or maintain your Web site.

After a free initial consultation, we'll give you an estimate for the cost of your page based on the number of hours it will take to complete the job.

You can choose to be as involved in the development of your web site as you wish.  We can develop the site and update it regularly for you, or we can develop the initial site and then train your staff to maintain it internally. In these cases, we are always available for consulting and troubleshooting on an hourly basis.

If you choose to design and/or maintain a web site yourself, we offer classes and one-to-one training in Dreamweaver at both beginner and advanced levels. Private classes and consulting are also available in HTML and Microsoft FrontPage.

Sample Web Sites

Premiere Domestic Staffing Solutions, LLC

Premiere Domestic Staffing Solutions, LLC provides household staff for clients in Connecticut. The company had a clear goal from the beginning--an elegant site that was easy to navigate with eye-catching, hi-res graphics.

The site also processes two online forms--an employer form and an extensive candidate form that we created with PHP.

While we are currently maintaining the site in Dreamweaver for the client, plans include training a staff member to maintain and update the site in the future.

Crocker Communications

Crocker Communications is one of New England's prime telecommunications businesses with offices in Greenfield and Springfield.

The company wanted their Web site revamped to include new products and an attractive new graphic design.

After constructing the initial site, we trained Crocker staff in Adobe Dreamweaver so they could maintain and update the site themselves.

Hat Stuff

Hat Stuff is a hat and accessory company located in Wendell, MA, that operates exclusively on a wholesale basis.

Since their inventory changes frequently, they needed a Web site that they could update easily with new products, pictures and pricing information. They also wanted pricing information visible only to wholesalers who were logged into the site.

Using Microsoft FrontPage and ASP, we developed a site that meets their security requirements and is easily updated with new pictures and product information.

Hampshire County Retirement System

The Hampshire County Retirement System had two priorities in developing their web site. First, they needed a web site that was within their budget. Second, they needed to update information frequently and wanted to learn to do it themselves.

Since several staff members were power users of Microsoft Office, we created the site in FrontPage and put them through classes, using their web site in class exercises. They are now updating the site regularly on their own.

The web site includes news for retirees, payment schedules, and downloadable forms for members in PDF and MS Word format.

Robert Ryan Management Consultancy

The Robert Ryan Management Consultancy wanted a Web site that highlighted the firm's experience and integrity, emphasizing a track record of successful solutions to problems related to organizational restructuring, interim and crisis management, and management recruiting.

Our graphic designers and web developers worked with the client to create and revise an overall design. We then combined original graphics with testimonials to develop an elegant site that provides the firm's prospective clients with considerable information in a format that is easy to navigate.

The 2008
Multicultural Resource Calendar

In 1999, we developed an Intranet version of the Multicultural Resource print calendar, published by Diversity Resources, Inc.

We have continued to update and improve the online version of the calendar for the last eight years.

In 2005, one of our programmers worked with our web developer to produce a database that lets us create customized versions of the calendar. Now clients can order a version with special occasions and holiday categories added or omitted before the calendar is produced.

Gary's Jeeps

Gary is an independent-minded business owner who wanted a web site that he could control himself. Since his inventory changes on a daily basis, he needed to change text and photos on his web site quickly and easily.

We helped Gary set up his web site by registering a domain name and recommending a web hosting service. After creating and uploading the initial site, we trained Gary to update his web site in two one-to-one training sessions and provided after-hours support when he needed help.

Gary reports that his site quickly paid for itself through the business it generated, and he continues to update the site himself on a daily basis.

Highland Uniforms

Highland Uniforms wanted to revamp their Web site with a new graphic design and new pages that highlighted a series of new products.

We re-designed the site, added drop-down menus for navigation, hi-res graphics to highlight their products, an interactive page on table linens, and incorporated some of their previous pages into the new design.

We also trained Highland staff to update the site using MS FrontPage.

Diversity Resource Center

The Diversity Resource Center is a collection of resources utilized by more than one third of the top 50 companies in diversity, including AOL, Bank of America, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, the Marriott Corporation, Shell Oil, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Our web developers update the Resource Center four times a year and make periodic updates available to subscribers through downloadable files on the Diversity Resources web site.

In 2004, our graphic designers overhauled the look of the Resource Center, adding a new design that included the opening page pictured on the left.

Dental Herb Company

The Dental Herb Company wanted a simple brochure web site that looked similar to their printed marketing materials and included an online form that potential customers could use to request information.

After creating the initial site, the company's web hosting service went out of business and sold their account to another company with poor reliability and worse technical support. We recommended a new hosting service and took care of moving the site over with a minimum of downtime.

Diversity Resources, Inc.

We developed the Diversity Resources web site in 1996 and have maintained and updated it since its inception.

In addition to converting the company's print materials to html, we developed a secure system that allows subscribers to download periodic updates to the company's online products from the web site.

The web site has undergone numerous changes over the years, recently incorporating a Diversity Institute, and online store, and streaming videos.
