Scrate Design handles all aspects of creating a web presence for you. We'll register your domain and setup your hosting. We can even design you a new logo if you need one. We'll create a design for your web site and then transform it into HTML and CSS. We can supply you with all sorts of custom built back-end applications -- database driven pages with a Content Management System, a secure shopping cart, search functionality, user authentication and login capabilities... you name it.
Design
We specialize in designing a website tailored to your needs. Each project starts with us creating a graphical mock-up of your site, this lets us be freely creative and unrestricted by the limits of HTML. We don't start any programming or development until you're happy with the initial site design. We take great care in making sure you get exaclty what you want.
We design custom logos and print material as well.
Programming
If you want a contact form, a newsletter signup, a CMS, or any other kind of advanced web app, then your site needs to take advantage of a server-side scripting language like PHP. We have the necessary chops to create any type of web application you can imagine.
We also specialize in Flash development using ActionScript 2 & 3. With frontend design, you may need some advanced JavaScript trickery to get things working the way you want. We take advantage of JS frameworks (jQuery) to get the job done quickly and effectively.
eCommerce
Online shopping is a HUGE industry these days and we understand what it takes to get you up and running with your product(s) so you can make money! We pick and choose the best way to implement and online store on a per client basis. Each situation is unique and we figure out what the best (and most affordable) solution is, whether its building a custom cart or extending an open source platform such as ZenCart or Magento.
Marketing / SEO
Making your content available on the net is the first step, but how do you get people to come to your site and view it? Thats where marketing and search engine optimization comes into play.
We know how to optimize your content and target keywords to make sure your website shows up in the top search engines like Google and Yahoo. We can integrate Google Analytics into your site to help maximize results as well.
Maybe you need some advertisement creative made? We can help.
Content Management
Content management gives to the ability to easily update the content of your site. Why would you want to come back to us when all you need to do is update an address or change a link on your page? Content management systems let you do just that. We like to use Wordpress and MODx, but can work with Joomla and Drupal too.
Blogs
Need a blog? No problem. Bored with the same old lame blog templates to choose from? We can customize your blog to look like the rest of your site. We think Wordpress is one of the best blogging platforms available. We can even teach you how to use it!
Web Hosting / Email
How do you serve up your website once its ready to go? We can handle all the technical setup required for hosting your website. That includes registering your domain, hosting your files, and setting up your email addresses.
