A lot goes on behind the scenes when designing and developing a great web site. With all the new HTML conversion programs out there, we though it would be helpful to talk a bit about what we do, and what you pay for, above and beyond taking your text and coding it into HTML.  

Websites designed by LakeNet Communications vary greatly depending on difficulty and content of site.  For a price quote email eric@premierspot.biz with the general description of the website you want.

Architecture/Content Development
Deciding what information to present and how to organize the information to best meet your visitor's needs is the actual brain work behind how the site will work and what will make your business successful on the Internet. A quality design with pertinent content provides smooth navigation, an interesting experience for the visitor, and room for future growth.

Page Layout Design
The look and feel of all pages subsequent to the home page is just as important as the home page. The careful coordination of graphics and type styles will tie all areas of the site together for a professional, smooth presentation.

Content Management
Perhaps one of the more important aspects of the project is deciding what to say and where and how to say it. Unlike other aspects of production where you can let out your breath and say "I'm done", content management never stops. You must constantly appeal to your audience with fresh and interesting information. Done properly, your web site will be easily updated, keeping the content new and your visitors interested.

Copywriting And Proofing
Utilizing professional editors and copywriters to create and streamline your online content helps make your presentation professional and easy to read in this media. Typically, companies use their in-house talent, but LakeNet Communications offers quality copywriting and editing services if you do not have adequate resources.

Page And Graphic Layout
Presenting a layout on the web presents particular challenges, but it is very similar to the production of a printed catalog or brochure, where the graphic elements, images, and text are placed for the most effective artistic presentation.

Graphic Production
Taking existing artwork, photography, animation, and video and optimizing it for online publishing.

Technology / Custom Programming
Utilizing programming languages such as Perl, CGI, and Java, to give interactivity and flexibility to the project. This can range from a simple response form to a full blown e-commerce area.

Promotion & Marketing
There are many reasons and ways to promote your web site. Depending on the nature of your business, whether you need an online corporate presence or you wish to launch your business from the web, LakeNet Communications can help focus on your particular business need and prepare your promotion and marketing strategies.
