SITE CONSTRUCTION

If in Hollywood everyone is an actor, then in cyberspace everyone is a webmaster. Tools like Microsoft FrontPage make it possible for anyone to create web pages.

But it is not so simple. Differences between browsers, their versions, the multitude of platforms require that you understand the basic building blocks. If you don’t, websites may look fine on one browser on one platform and not work at all on others.

Second Street Web understands the fundamentals and the differences. We can help you best target what your audience may be using and help you to understand what choices view the best.

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT

You may have “web-ready” content, you may have no content, or you may have books of content. Perhaps you need:

• Redistributing / Regrouping of information for a web based environment.
• Development of new content, or
• Abbreviation of content to better suit the web.

At Second Street we have over 30 years of technical and marketing communications experience. We can work your content, or advise your staff on the best guidelines.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Graphics are key to making your site pleasurable and intriguing. We can:

• Work with your in-house design team,
• Develop a design using stock graphics, photographs, and graphics from your corporate portfolio, or
• We work with several prominent Graphic Artists to create for you a totally new look and feel.

We compress and optimize all graphics. We strive for pages that are rich and yet download as quickly as possible.

ANIMATION

Everyone wants web pages to have some life. True? Not necessarily. Overactivity can produce headaches and annoyance. Underactivity can produce boredom.

At Second Street we have one philosophy: Animation should have a clear purpose; it should not just be movement for the sake of movement

We provide Flash, Java Animation, Javascript Animation, and Animated GIFs. We can also help you to understand the ever important question: What form of animation with what browser?

E-COMMERCE
BACK OFFICE INTEGRATION

Perhaps you want to move your product sales to the web. Maybe you want people to reserve your resources (services, tables, hotel rooms etc.) via the web ahead of time. Maybe you don’t have an idea, but would like to find out how using the web might improve your business and reduce your costs.

Second Street Web has experience optimizing business processes and integrating them into the web.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

At a minimum we will do an assessment of what you need and provide a clear statement of work. We will work with your project management team and provide them regular status.

Perhaps you need more.

Perhaps you have many people in your organization with different views about what your website should be. Perhaps you can’t get past this.

Second Street Web has years of experience facilitating group sessions focusing on gaining group concensus on what the site should be and putting a plan together to get you there.
