Website Design
We have a very special web design department providing a very special service: we put you in control.
Any web company can design a website - that's what they're in business for. How many of them, however, will also teach you how to keep designing? That's where our goals differ from the ordinary companies: we strive to place the business owner in control, not to make them dependent. What this means, is that we not only do the site build; we then spend time teaching you how to create your own content - add your own pages, your own text, menus, images, videos, and just about everything else. When we're done showing you how, you will be able to update your website over breakfast, without ever having to call us to make the changes. (Of course, if you want a turnkey solution subsequently handled by one of our project managers, we can do that too).
LEVELING THE FIELD
Despite belief to the contrary, there is little difference between small business websites and enterprise-level websites. Both present your business face to the world. Both showcase your product and company information. Both resolve in the same browsers and are viewed by the same people. The backend - typically a content management system (CMS) these days - may be larger or smaller depending on your needs but, again, it works on the same principles to the same ends: user-control and usability. In most cases an enterprise-level corporate website differs from that of small business only to the degree to which it adds "chrome," where chrome means nothing more than the graphical bells and whistles. In other words, design is what you pay for, not necessarily performance.
Thanks to the appearance of content management systems (CMS) and the programming language PHP, the web design landscape has changed very much in the last few years - the field has been leveled. The same functional power, along with the same level of aesthetic, is now available to all businesses. Furthermore, what used to be impossible mysteries open to only a few techie designers is now accessible to most people willing to put a little time and effort into managing their own website. With this new landscape in mind, Neural Tornado is committed to empowering small business and enterprise alike by offering education in conjunction with web design. We will not only build your site; we will also show you how everything works, and teach you how to run it. Your business is only as good as your control of its information - and understanding and running your website is key to controlling that information.
YOUR NEEDS
We never, ever build something you don’t need. However, everyone’s needs are different. So we offer a FREE Assessment Session to determine how we can best meet your specific needs within context of the best cutting-edge web technologies available. If it’s a shopping system you need, for example, we help you determine which is the best one for you. If you need a blogging site, again, we help you determine which system will work best for you. If you need a showcase site for your services, where you would like to add your own pages and content, we are there to help.
