Web design is one of those ever changing things. As technology advances, ideas are given more freedom. It is also a very subjective topic. Design philosophies vary as much as the people requesting them do.

Therefore, it is important to understand the designer's philosophy of their designs. If you, the client, have an idea that doesn't fit with the designers philosophy, then he won't love designing it. If he doesn't love it, you won't love it.

We believe less is more and design around "effective simplicity". We design with Web 2.0 standards and functionality. Basically, Web 2.0 is designing with new technologies that make web pages more interactive and engaging to there users. Such interactivity keeps the users on your page longer and more likely to return.

Cool and clean is our motto. We use enough bells and whistles to make your design fun and inviting, but not so much it becomes confusing, cluttered or asymmetrical.

Adobe InContext Editing is a system that lets you become a content editor of your own site. The purpose is to allow you to make simple text, and other, edits to your site at your convenience.

In most cases your designer will update your site with the changes you provide them. But, occasionally, you will want to reword a paragraph, fix a spelling mistake or change a picture. It isn't often convenient for you to have to contact your design for such simple changes.

This system gives you the ability to make those types of changes yourself. Of course, it is an optional service and if you don't feel comfortable doing such a thing yourself, we would gladly do it for you in the more traditional way.

The Adobe InContext Editing is a free service until 2011. Therefore, if you choose to use it, it is free for you until then as well. Find out more about it here.

You actually get three web sites. This will give you the versatility to make changes without effecting your live site. That means minimal down time of your live site because you can do maintenance or create a new site outside of your live one. Then, after the changes have been tested and approved, they can be moved to the live domain.

The live site and testing site are meant to be duplicates of each other. That way when we make any major edits, we do them in the testing site before making them live. Because they are duplicates, whatever changes made in the testing site are guaranteed to work in the live site.

The third site is for brand new designs. Then, your current site can stay live and be maintained with the testing site while a brand new design is being created in a third area.

The testing and new sites are still accessible on the web with a link only you will know. This way friends and family can give it a look and give their opinions before going live.

If you don't already have a hosting account, we will gladly host it for you. In fact, it would be best if we did, but certainly not necessary.

Limitations of another web host or account type may limit what we can do. However, as mentioned, if you are happy with an existing web host it is not a necessity to use us. We may have to work around any limits, but we will think of something.

If you do choose to start your web site hosted with us, or move to us from another host, we would be honored to have you. We would then know what technologies we have at our disposal and the design process will go much more smoothly.

If you would be interested in web hosting with us, please send us your request using the email form on our contact page. Check out our price list in our Web Design section for costs.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a most peculiar thing. You never see it, yet it is the most important part of any business web site, it is more important than the design itself. As big a deal as it is for human beings to see and like the design of your site, it is even more important that those "search bots" see and like your site as well. They tell the human beings where to find you and position you amongst your competitors relevant to what the humans are looking for in search engines.

Organic SEO is what we strive for. First off, its FREE. It is designing so that keywords and certain hidden code in a page makes search engines happy. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is when you pay for advertisement. SEM is up to you to implement with tools like Google AdWords, Google AdSense and other paid for advertising.

We implement organic SEO by means of keyword analysis, sitemap.xml submission, directory submissions, social networking strategies and others. If you don't know what all those things are, don't worry, we do and we know how to use them.

Analytics are some pretty technical statistics about your web site and people who visit it. They clue you in to patterns of why and how people find your site, what they do when they get there, where they come from and a slew of other useful data. Its a pretty daunting thing when you first look at it, but once you get a feeling for it and what it all means, you can create a more efficient site that brings more visitors. If you are running a business, more visitors means more exposure and more potential leads to new clients.

We use Google Analytics in every site we design. We will create your account and link it to your site. We set it up so you get a monthly report emailed to you on how your site is doing. From there, we can better understand who your target audience is and make adjustments to better optimize your's and your users experience.

Understanding all the various statistics and data is one thing, knowing what actions to take based on that information is nothing short of art. We know how to comprehend it and act accordingly.

Domains like www.itlogic.org seem pretty straight forward. If you only have one, then it isn't hard to manage that yourself.

However, most businesses have many domains to their site. It can become complex, especially when search engine optimization (SEO) is tied to that domain. Sometimes, if things aren't set up right, those "search bots" get confused and aren't happy. If they don't like your site, they will make it hard for people to find you.

Typically, you can set someone to be an account executive or administrator with whoever you registered your domain name with. We would be given that permission so that we may manage your domains properly. An example would be GoDaddy, probably the biggest domain registrar.

Not only can we manage domain forwarding, domain name servers (DNS) and other abilities; we can negotiate purchasing domains that might already be owned by others.

Email and phone calls are great, but sometimes you need a little more to communicate what you desire. As mentioned on our home page, ITLogic() L.L.C. is a nationwide web design and CADD service. That means it isn't always possible to be face to face in person with a notepad.

We solve this problem by using Adobe ConnectNow to web conference anywhere in the world. We can chat, web cam, talk, whiteboard and other tools to work remotely and effectively. Distance is no longer an obstacle to overcome when it comes to communicating ideas, wants and needs.

Collaboration is a big thing these days. The internet has made it possible to connect with anyone anywhere. We utilize this technology to reach any and every one as if we were sitting face to face, having coffee and talking shop right there at home.

We all like to "tinker" and make changes. Changes that, in retrospect, aren't always for the better. What a pain when we realize we have to go back to a previous time before we made the change to correct the problem.

We have a system that takes the hassle out of making changes that later need to be changed back to a previous version. We have our own internal server that maintains versions of every page we work on. If we make a change and later someone decides it wasn't such a good idea, no problem, just revert to the previous version saved in the version system. That takes pressure off of you for making an imperfect edit because it is easily corrected. Also saves possibly hours of work to undo a mistake.

Not only does it provide the ease of version control, but a complete backup of your site is maintained. You have the security and ease of knowing your files are still safe in the event of some catastrophic even and everything is lost on your server. With us and this system, you will be back online in no time. We take care of your business asset.

1. Fill out the site questionnaire.
2. You will receive an Independent Contractor agreement and a quote according to your needs and our price list.
3. If accepted, sign and return the included paperwork to us with 50% of the quoted price.
4. You will be shown different prototype design ideas and finally approve one.
5. The testing site goes online and is created based on the approved prototype design.
6. Once the testing site is complete and fulfills your expectations, the final 50% payment is due.

For changes that aren't major and stay within the boundaries of the original approved design, there is no nickel and dime fee for each change. If you elect to try the Adobe InContext Editing system, many of the small maintenance changes can be made by yourself. These steps are simply a guideline to the process and not necessarily how they will be processed in actuality.

Note: An additional 50% of the total per page price is added. This is to account for unforeseen complications and things like graphic editing.

Adobe InContext Editing is offered free until 2011, at which time Adobe plans to charge $10 to $20 a month. Anyone using the service at that time will be required to pay that fee.

The questionnaire is coming soon. In the meantime, please use the email form or live chat on our contact page to convey your needs. Sorry for the inconvenience!
