Any Society
Virtually any organization can benefit from a dynamic web site designed to benefit its members as well as the public.- Medicine

- Dentistry
- Podiatry
- Lawyers
- Psychiatry
- More...
Our goal is to improve your Society's communications, streamline members' data gathering and organizing, and support the group through a "Member Search" so the public can search for a certain professional that fits their needs.
Although we specialize in web sites for professionals societies, any organization that is in need of a web presence can benefit from one of our sites...
First impressions are everything!
Web surfers have an extremely short attention span - if you do not show them an easy-to-use site, they will promptly leave never to return. You must present them with a great site the first time. If you fail on the first attempt, they will likely forget about your site not take any further attempts seriously.Our web sites are not "cookie cutter"
Each is built to specifications that are hammered out prior to any designing or coding. Some things to consider when designing a web site:We will not abandon you!
Even after your site has been created, we will provide constant support and assistance- Will your site be for "Members Only" or will the public also be welcome?
- Do you need member logins?
- Do you need a "Member Search" engine?
- Do your members need profiles, or will it just be for static information?
- Do you need any custom maps?
- Will you hold all of your information on the site, or just some?
- Do you need an encrypted site? For taking donations or dues
- Do you need to sell on your site?
- Should you give out passwords or let members create them on the fly? Easy passwords allow for more members to log in, but lowers security.
- Do you want your site to be presented in a "News" or "Magazine" fashion?
Since all of our sites are custom-created for each client - all pricing differs.
The Process:
- Initial Consultation - Free - First brief interview to learn more about your project
- Design Conference - Free
- A meeting between top execs and others to define what it is you need. Do you want a calendar? Random passwords? Allow members to create profiles? This part of the process is the most crucial and should not be taken lightly. The web site should rarely be changed after this meeting. It is imperative that the client know his/her desires prior to this meeting.
- Shortly after this meeting we will agree on an ITF (Initial Time Frame) - this is a date that we hope to have a completed site ready for approval.
- Coding and Design
- This is the period where our team takes your blueprints and creates your web site. The time it takes depends on what has been decided on by you... anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. During this period our team will be available to you for emergency changes and to present progress reports.
- Wrap-Up Meeting - Free
- Site presentation and approval.
