Your site may be an enhancement to a real world business or you may be an Internet-only enterprise. From hosting to promotion and e-commerce, your web presence is in capable hands with GW Designs.
Web Design:
We take into account the nature of your business when designing
the site. As you go through our client's sites you will notice an
emphasis given to color and color combinations. This is always done
in harmony with the desired "branding" 
effect that you
want to achieve. Please notice the high palette colors of this
site versus the subtle hues of Mallon Fine Art. The latter is an
example of a client that gave me an already designed logo which
I used as the basis for the layout and color scheme of the site.
For sites where cutting edge effects are desired, we utilize Flash.
Dual Site:
HTML / Flash site. This is a single site that can be viewed either
way. Obviously it more than doubles the cost of a regular HTML site.
The payback can be in the impression made. This can lend credibility
to your institution as well as deliver an elegant and professional
presentation of your product or service.
Search Engine Optimization and Keyword Study:
Using your business idea, we study its viability for the web. The
best way to explain how important this step is is to relate and
experience we had with a client here in Costa Rica. The client had
a love for waterfalls and had started a "Waterfall Tours"
company. We did a study on th
e keywords "waterfall" and
"waterfall tours". It turns out that almost nobody searches
those terms. We could have readily achieved a number one ranking
in the search engines for those terms, but since no one searches
them, they would not be a good basis for an internet business. So
we did some related searches and modified the business to capture
some serious traffic from the search engines.
Promotion:
In our agreement you have the option of using us to promote your
site to the various search engines. Please note that I am not here
saying, "submit". To "promote" is to do what
is necessary to get you in the first page of returns for the major
search engines.
Consultation:
We will consult by e-mail, or by appointment on ICQ, or by phone
at a time that is convenient for you. We will determine through
the consultation what your objective is for your web site and make
recommendations based on this step of the process.
Hosting:
We offer full featured hosting for whatever sized site you may have.
Windows servers, or Red Hat Linux. Extensive e-mail addresses,
catch-all e-mail address. But really, the best part of our hosting
service is, we take care of it all. You don't have to do anything.
Most of our clients don't even know what "hosting" means.
They just know that they have a site that does everything that they
want it to, and if they grow, so does the service.
Bi-lingual
We will produce entire sites in Spanish and or English. Additionally
we have arrangements to offer other languages as well.
Real world publications
For print artwork we apply the same design principles that can be
seen on our sites. We will provide the printer of your choice with
printable artwork for logos, business cards, brochures, posters.
