Responsive web design is that solution. Responsive design morphs to properly fit each screen allowing your customers to take full advantage of all your site has to offer. You no longer need to have a regular website and a mobile website. Want to see it in action, take a look at this site on various devices, and see what all the commotion is about. E-Commerce So you’ve decided to open up an online store. Don’t make the mistake of using a cookie cutter, template or open-source product that leaves you at the mercy of blogs and bulletin boards for instructions and support. Instead, let us build you an incredibly functional and highly developed e-commerce site that has inventory controls, customer management tools, vendor tools, shipping with all the major carriers and countless other tools that will make your online business easier from the start. We’ll build a custom branded interface and lay it over the award winning CoreCommerce e-commerce solution headquartered in Franklin, TN. These guys are impressive and are constantly developing and refining the CoreCommerce platform. That means that you’ll have new innovations and support for the long haul. Content Management Systems If you are considering building a site on a content management system like WordPress or Joomla, let us use our design skills and expertise to create a custom look that will make your company appear unique, credible, and authoritative. Content management systems allow you to regularly update your site with articles and images. They allow you to stay in front of your customers and keep your messaging fresh. Mobile Interface Design If you’ve decided that it’s time to develop an iPhone or Android app for your business, why leave the visual elements in the hands of coders, who though they can program like no one’s business, may not have the design savvy that will make your users want to download and use it. We understand how to build user interfaces that people will enjoy using. Emerging Technology We love to learn and we love to apply what we learn to put our clients on the bleeding edge of what’s possible. Though the bleeding edge is not necessary for every client or every project, you can be assured that your site will use the latest, most flexible, and most widely accepted technologies to enhance your online presence and promote your brand as one that marches to your own drum.
