With literally
thousands of web site designers on the Internet it can be difficult
and sometimes perplexing to choose a company who will deliver a quality
product that will attract consumer traffic and keep them on your site.
PAI has been a part of the Internet revolution and our insight as
to what works and what doesn't has been demonstrated time after time.
Web
site design goes hand-in-hand with Internet Marketing of your completed
site. You can build the best web site in the world - but if no one
can find you it's pointless to be on the Internet… Some of our customers
originally paid $5,000 to $30,000 for web sites created by other people
and firms - only to find out the site lacked proper navigation, was
slow to load causing the public to quickly leave, colors and schemes
which were unpleasant to the viewer, sites which were never marketed
(listed in the search engines) - and more - leaving discust and disappointment
for the website owner. For those that have "been there" we know the
two words "buyer beware" when it comes to selecting a design
company for your image and business. To fix these "problems" costs
even more money.
PAI avoids the many pitfalls made by other companies by delivering
a professionally designed and functional site. Taking your goals and
merging them with what the virtual consumer has shown to like is a
key element in building you the successfully internet site.
THEMES
PAI
creates the look and feel for your site. Themes mix visual design
concepts such as color and shape with site navigation functionality.
A theme must grab your audience's attention and motivate them to explore
further. No matter which "page" of your site is viewed your
theme is always there providing the consumer with confidence.
- We create
a professional first impression to establish credibility with your
online audience
- Your
theme will project both a highly-perceived value and aid users to
find and understand the information on your site
- Your
theme will be properly aligned to help the
user relate and form an emotional bond with your site.
- People
buy with their heart more than their mind
BRANDING (logo
design)
Branding
design generates any graphical elements that are central to aesthetics
the web site theme: i.e. company, product, or site logos. Branding
elements guide the theme design by setting color and shape requirements.
Some customers prefer multiple logos build around a central look (Logo
Family):
- Your
existing logo may be incorporated into your web site. Many companies
create new online versions of their existing print logos either
because existing logos do not translate well to electronic media
or they want to establish a distinct online presence.
- The
psychology of logos is subtle yet powerful. To establish an effective
connection with your customers it is vital to select the appropriate
symbolic imagery.
PAGE DESIGN
Page design
generates content that is designed to enhance a specific page. This
broad category of creative elements can generally be thought of as
anything that is not apart of the theme template - but must
fit into the overall theme of the site. The vast majority are graphics,
typical examples are:
- Masthead
graphics
- Photo
portraits in a biography pages, product photos in an online catalog,
or animated banners
- Proper
use of page elements can add to the decor of a site giving it a
unique look and higher perceived value.
- We
do not add page elements ad hoc. They can destroy the central theme
and add to download times.
COPY
Copy is
all the written text in the body and sidebars of a web site. Copy
for a web site requires a different style than other mediums to be
effective. PAI uses a web writing specialist who understands the nuances
and reader behavior on the Internet to create your site's copy. Copy
exploration is an information gathering and organization process that
provides the source material from which a web site is written. Most
research can be accomplished from existing company literature, but
interviews, surveys and other means are also used. PAI follows these
basic principles:
- Plain
- Always speak in terms your audience will understand.
- Concise
- If you want it read keep it brief and scalable.
- Valuable
-Your message should be personally important to your readers.
- Transparent
-Your readers should notice your message not your vocabulary.
Taking your
concept and deploying it on the Internet our speciality. By working
together with a mutual understanding of the finished product will
