What do we mean when we say Web Design?
Web design is a broad term for several services which culminate with the result of a web site. At TechStudio we have several focuses that come together in our web design services. From the time TechStudio formed to offer web design in Jacksonville, FL, we knew we couldn’t be all things to our clients. We decided to focus on a set of services that we enjoy; services that we know will be helpful to our clients. So when we say ‘web design’, this is what we mean.
Graphic Design for the Internet
Make a powerful and memorable impression. Graphic design will tie your project together, creating consistency throughout. The perfect website is a combination of beauty and functionality. TechStudio believes that simplicity and sophistication go hand-in-hand. We believe that a design should be simultaneously attractive, simple and functional.
Graphic design includes everything you may see on your screen when viewing a website, campaign email, social media outlet or Internet advertisement. Anything that you perceive visually can first be designed to provide a blueprint further development.
Branding and Marketing Design
Do you need to create a new brand and identity? Does your current brand need a facelift? A company’s brand and identity is integral to its marketing strategy, representing both its purpose and uniqueness. The seasoned graphic artists on TechStudio’s brand design and development team can help make your brand matter.
A logo speaks volumes about the business it represents. It can help give your company an established and professional identity while gaining consumer recognition and loyalty. TechStudio is able to work with you to develop a logo that will leave your mark on the marketplace.
Content Planning
Planning the content of your site is critical. Too often web design projects go into full swing without careful consideration for what the intended communication is and how exactly it will be communicated. We are here to help you define your message and state it clearly for the web.
Markup
Markup is the code that makes your website appear on the screen in a web browser. If a website is supported by a poor, outdated markup, it may not render well in major browsers. We convert designs into high-quality, cross-browser compatible HTML and CSS markup. This service is available for designs that we create or for designs that you bring to us.
Interface Design
Some aspects of website interfaces are universal: header, navigation and content. But in order to leave a lasting impression, a website’s message is, oftentimes, best conveyed through a custom design. The markup of a site alone usually isn’t enough to give a website that extra umph, if you will.
TechStudio’s team of Web designers carefully consider the layout of both static and interactive elements. Our goal is to create interfaces that are unique and brand-specific, yet do not take away from the functionality of a site. Whether it be as simple as fading images and boxes, or as complicated as dynamic and interactive interface elements, TechStudio can design an interface to meet your website’s need. We use Javascript, specifically the jQuery framework, to get the job done.
WordPress Theme Design
Markup alone makes up a static website, but this isn’t enough to make a site come alive. TechStudio believes that our clients should have the power to make their own updates and changes to their websites, rather than having to pay an overpriced outside vendor. This is precisely why TechStudio chooses WordPress as our preferred content management system (CMS). WordPress allows you to add and delete new pages and photos and frequently update and post blogs to your site. TechStudio can turn your markup into a WordPress theme, which will perform all of the aforementioned custom functions.
WordPress Plugin Development
Some sites require additional functionality which is specified by the end-user in the form of business rules. TechStudio is able to create custom WordPress plugins to perform these functions.
