Website Development

Developing an Internet presence involves more than just having a website—it means employing the right strategy, delivering an effective message, and selecting the right tools to meet your needs. We approach our Web projects with the belief that a website should provide you with more than just a location on the Internet; it should serve as an effective communications tool for achieving your organization's goals.

Impact Makers provides custom website development. We construct solid websites that reflect high professional standards for usability, functionality, and aesthetics. From fully dynamic database-driven solutions to standard “informational brochure” sites, we are prepared to meet the unique needs of your organization.

We also provide website makeovers. If your existing site is in need of a facelift, or if you would like it to do more for you, a Web makeover is an excellent solution. Whether you seek a new look, streamlined navigation structure, enhanced functionality or improved content, Impact Makers has the resources to make it happen.

Impact Makers offers a polished, professional-looking design that complements your firm. When laying out the design of your website, our development team makes sure to understand your underlying objectives. The look should be a catalyst to drive business forward and should never hold it back. We will design a site that will offer you all the features that websites demand – easy navigation, custom graphics, and state-of-the-art technology. Our Web design team has had the privilege to work on many different kinds of websites. We also have direct access to working with other established, world-class Web designers and extremely talented artists. 

There are many good reasons to have a website – but not just any website. Impact Makers will make sure it is a quality site that presents your unique business in the best possible way.

To ensure this, we utilize a process with four phases:

PLAN In this phase, we seek to understand your company's goals for the website. We clarify your specific business needs and plan the ways your website can meet them. We consider how best to appeal to your target audience and determine the best technical approach for your site. We will utilize, and build upon, any existing content and graphical material you may have. At the end of this phase, we will develop a plan that identifies the tasks, timeframes and resources for the project. DESIGN In the design phase, we will map out the overall design or "look and feel" of the site. A site map will be created to show all the expected pages and their relationship to each other. We will assemble all the graphics and content and determine the pages on which these elements will appear. BUILD In this phase, we build the site, completing all the necessary writing, coding, scanning of pictures, and creating links. This stage includes review cycles, allowing our client to look at the site as it is being built and provide feedback. Some modification of the site occurs in this phase; however, the major layout decisions have been made in the design phase. The build phase is complete when our client is satisfied with the website’s performance. TEST Before your site is launched, Impact Makers will test it. We will be sure it works under major browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox, and will ensure its functionality on both a Mac and a PC.
