web design
Website development is a collaborative creative process.
The procedure is simple:
1. we meet with you to discuss initial goals and timetable
2. written quote is drafted and submitted for your approval
3. development is completed and site tested for local functionality
4. files are posted in a secure preview area and retested for online integrity
(requires your creative approval – any requested changes are also made during this step)
5. website is published live to your hosted server
SDT has serviced sites of all different sizes and types. Whatever your needs, they can easily be met. We also feature a CMS application allowing website owners to update their own pages on demand from any Internet browser, along with gallery software giving them total control over their own images. Please ask us about these user-friendly site editing options.
WordPress (WP) is utilized on larger projects for its ease of site administration and modular scalability. WP indexes quickly into the search engines, a distinct advantage promoting efficient, low-cost SEO (search engine optimization). We’re also switching over to Blogger as a format for smaller sites in lieu of traditional XHTML/CSS, as it has the edge on simplicity of site configuration and maintenance.
Our custom-tailored production process is unique to the specific needs of each client, ensuring the highest level of customer service possible.
digital publishing
Remember that book you started writing but never finished? Maybe you’re already done, but don’t have the time / resources to approach publishers yourself or through an agent. As publishing technology changes, the retail market is changing too. You must now be prepared to offer your product not only in print, but also digitally for a burgeoning online audience. SDT can help meet the demands of distributing your work within this rapidly evolving online marketplace.
