Web Site Design services from Dray Design Studio.

Your business goals come first.

Development of a web site for your business does not start with graphic or technical design. The first step is to understand what business goals you want to achieve with your web site - how it fits into your overall business strategy.

Developing a web strategy that fits with your business strategy is a key deliverable of the Studio's approach and a strength of its Chief Designer, Duane Schermerhorn.

For one customer, the Studio developed a web site strategy and three-year plan that fulfilled that strategy in affordable steps.

In the process of developing a new web site or redesigning an existing one, the Studio works with you to provide:

A site map. In effect this is a map of how the overall web site content is logically structured and how the components relate to one another. The internet and web sites are about information, and design of a web site must take into account the information about your business, services and products.

Web site mockups. We provide mockup designs to ensure that we have captured your requirements and that you are happy with the look at feel of your new web site.

Enhancement of your digital photographs to maximize their visual impact.

Special functions and effects using Javascript, DHTML, and Macromedia Flash.

Dray Design Studio is committed to seeing its clients succeed on the web, and carefully researches your competition to ensure your website design is robust and competitive. And that it is found by potential buyers seeking services via search engines.

Search engine optimization is a specialty, and The Studio's clients have received outstanding results in all of the major search engines.

One example: In the competitive business of interior design, Mind and Matter Designs has achieved a page one ranking on searches at Alta Vista, Excite, Google, Yahoo!, MSN, All the Web, and Teoma. It is #1 at MSN and Yahoo! for "colour consultation"; #1 at Google for "showcasing homes"; and #2 and #3 at Excite and Google respectively for "house staging".

Overall cost will depend on the services you need, the number of web pages in the site, and the number and complexity of the business functions to be provided on the web site.
