Web Site Development Durkan Consulting is a full web
services firm. What does that mean? It means that we are experts when it comes
to the web and not just one area! In many cases we have clients that come to us
with horror stories from past experiences with web design firms. In many cases
the firm was heavy on just one component of web development. Durkan Consulting
has the expertise in all facets including: - Graphics Design, User Interfaces, Site
Navigation & Usability
- Designing & Implementing Database Driven Sites.
Providing clients with proper designs and database schemas that show the
relationships between various data components. This provides you with a dynamic
site where users interact.
- Creating & implementing sites that our clients can manage
themselves. This means providing you with a web based interface to
manage all content and settings. This includes a rich text content management
tool that allows you to easily format text, add images, links, etc. with ease. You can control settings such as meta tags, who receives emails when forms are
submitted, keyword values to fields and more. Our robust backend interfaces
allow you to have control over your own site which drives the cost of ownership
down. This is a key to working in the best interest of our
clients.
- Marketing the
site, your services & products. We understand search engine
optimization (SEO) so your site can rank well organically (without having
to use pay per click campaigns). We can also can implement pay per click
campaigns. This also includes email marketing with the use of your data and
HTML based emails. You can easily track the effectiveness of your campaigns.
- Managing the process. We make the process of creating and implementing your website or
web application as smooth as possible. This includes providing you with
punchlists of what you are responsible and need to provide and associated dates
in order to hit the target launch date. We use a rapid development and
iterative approach when developing for the web so you have input along the way
and can see it progress. We see the web as something that constantly evolves
and your site should as well. This is why we approach sites as versions. You
may have loads of ideas and functionity in mind but time and budget constraints
may force us to table comethings for a future version as your site will
constantly be improving.
In
addition to our technical expertise listed above we bring a number of
"soft skills" to the table: - Understanding Business - We have a depth of
experience building websites and web applications for various businesses in
different industries. That combined with education allows us to ask the right
questions and make you aware of features and options you may not have thought
of.
- We Listen -
While we bring expertise in various areas to the table we understand that you
know your business better and respect that. We listen to your ideas as it is
your vision of the site or application we will be
implementing.
- We are in it
for the long haul - We look at our relationships with clients as long
term partnerships. We have clients that have been with us for over 9 years
which is a long time for the industry. We work in your best interest and take a
personal interest in seeing your business grow as it will bring opportunities
to all involved.
