Design

We talk with clients before we begin the design process, to find out what they want. We find out what you want your site to do for you, what colors you'd like to see on your site, and what kind of content you plan to have on the site.

Graphics

We use Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PhotoShop and Macromedia Flash to create custom graphics or logos.

Photography

We can take photos for your project if you are in the Abbotsford area.

Redesign of existing sites

We can take your existing site and update it or add interactivity to it. We recently took over the site maintenance for our client's "VolvoLady.com" site. They were very happy with the way the site was originally designed and didn't want that to change much, but the navigation elements had no visual clues to help the user move around the site. Even an experienced web surfer would have thought the home page was all there was to see. By adding rollovers, it became much more obvious that there were multiple pages on the site.

This image shows what the original site navigation looked like. Roll your mouse over the links and see what happens. Not very much. You have to really pay attention to notice the arrow turn into a pointer. Scroll down to see what a difference it made to add some interactivity.

Without really changing the look of the page (other than a new button for a new page), viewers now are more likely to notice that there are other pages to see. Roll your mouse over these links to see how different it is compared with the one above.

Maintenance of existing sites

We can update a site that somebody else designed for you. One of our strengths is fast and accurate updates. If up-to-date information is important to you, then give us a call.

Copy Editing

We have lots of experience editing written material for grammar, spelling and punctuation. We can even check the accuracy of the content if you wish.

Consulting and Training

We can answer many questions you may have about your site and what you need and we can even train you to use software by providing detailed written instructions.

The most popular training for clients is how to use the software Macromedia Contribute. This software allows you to update your own website without learning any HTML code and without ruining the graphical layout of your page. If you have a site that requires frequent updates, using Contribute can save you a lot of money. Bassic Sax is updated by the client using Contribute.

Domain Registration and Hosting

We can arrange for server space to host your files and we can purchase a domain name on your behalf.
