David Reed

Founder

UX Designer with focus on interactive experiences & PHP-programming.

Hi, I’m Dave. While in college in 2001, I began building websites and learning various web technologies. Over the last 20 years, I’ve developed dozens of websites for various small businesses. My areas of technical skill include front-end and back-end design (full-stack) development, PHP, MySQL database, Javascript, HTML, and WordPress development. I’ve enjoyed working with so many great people, and hope to get the opportunity to help you with your online goals. Contact me today via the methods below, and let’s discuss your goals for a better website.

Process

The design and development process takes a lot of planning, and your valuable input helps to ensure a successful outcome. Check out the steps below.

1. Gather Info

We lead each project by determining the client’s likes and dislikes about certain websites, and ask questions about color, logo and other important items.  This time is to make sure the overall finished product will meet our client’s needs.

2. Plan Structure

During this phase, we install a “landing page” and build the framework and pages for the upcoming site. This allows the client to view the progress and request any changes / enhancements.

3. Design Site

Taking the information from Step 1, we proceed to apply the agreed-upon styling and color to the structure discussed in Step 2. Again, the background site is viewable only by the client in order to track progress.

4. Write Content

After design and structure are approved, we then proceed to insert images and text (content) throughout the site. We typically request the client provide text, as this greatly decreases development time. We provide professional photography services as needed.

5. Custom Code

Many projects require extra functionality for various tasks. Maybe the client needs an extra location listed, or a special alert box is needed with a countdown timer. We use this time to seamlessly add these types of elements to the site.

6. Test and Launch

This phase involves allowing a select group of users to access the site and provide feedback as to its overall ease of usage. Items such as page load time, organization of content and menus, and image placement are just a few of these. After approval is given, full site launch is commenced.

7. Maintain and Secure

The final step is to perform weekly updates to code and plugins. It’s also imperative the site be properly secured through various methods, which we provide in three ways. Other services like daily backups, Search Engine Optimization, and WordPress updates are also included in our comprehensive maintenance package.
