As a small business owner, I had many concerns starting an e-commerce arm
of my business. After speaking with the folks at Spiderhost I felt bad
I hadn’t initiated the relationship sooner. Their staff was willing
and able to help us with our questions and concerns, and put together a great
website that has been largely responsible for Warrior Gear’s success. I
have no problem recommending Spiderhost to any company wishing to take their
business to the next level.

IT needs. And
that means we've got a roster of website services to help you
grow your business:
- Website design
- Website makeovers
- Database services

- Marketing
Whether you need to build a site, promote it online,
add applications to it, or just update it, we can help. Our
experienced web designers work from every angle to make sure your
site achieves maximum impact and gets the results you want. And
with applications like Flash, ASP, PHP, SQL, mySQL and E-Commerce
at our disposal, we’ll create a site for you that becomes a
valuable, contributing part of your business.
Why should you hire a professional?
When your business is ready to make its initial foray
onto the Internet in the form of a business website, your first
thought may be, "Wouldn't it be cheaper to just hire the kid
down the block to build my website?" If your goal is to publish
a basic Web site with only a few pages and no special features, you
might indeed benefit from paying a student or a novice to create
your site. Hiring "the kid down the block" certainly would
save you money in the short run.
For more advanced projects, however, cut-rate web developers
may not be able to do the job. Large websites require developers
who understand how people will use the site and how best to set up
the site's navigation tools. Scripting, multimedia and other advanced
features can wreck a site if they aren't used carefully. For
example, a script that works perfectly on one user's machine might
crash another's. Graphic design issues raise another challenge: It
is surprisingly hard to prepare images that download quickly but
still look good, or to select color schemes that make your site attractive
and easy to read.
Don't forget your competitive situation. If your competitors
offer sloppy, thrown-together sites, you've got a great opportunity
to wow customers with a professional design. If you're competing
against first-class Web efforts, can you afford to offer anything
less?
Our web design process
1. Creative meeting
We don't make your website for you. We make it with
you. Which means we start with a kick-off meeting where you
tell us about your company, your goals about what you want the
site to accomplish, how you want the site to position your company,
and any ideas you have about how you want your site to look and
feel, the experience you want visitors to have. With the
data from this meeting we create a design that meets your needs.
2. Concept development
Once we've collaboratively
decided what will best fit your business, you pull together all
the materials and information to go into the site – stuff
like your logos, color schemes, etc. After
you send this to us, our designers will send you a tentative site
plan and design a mockup for your approval.
3. Production
After you approve the site plan and design
mockup, we start a-building! We'll
set a timeline before we begin, so you'll know how long it will
take and can follow the process along. When we're done,
we post the site to a pre-launch location so you can review it and
request any final changes before the site goes live.
4. Review
This phase addresses any questions or issues
you have so we can resolve them before the site launches.
5. Launch
After we get your final sign-off on the site
we'll make it
live so anyone on the Internet can see it. To do this it must
be hosted, which we can do or we can work with a host of your choice. Either
way, your website will be launched efficiently and can then begin
impressing the pants off of web surfers worldwide!
As you can see, our process leaves no stone unturned
in the quest for a great site. So view our web design portfolio,
and then contact us to get started creating the best website
ever!
