Why do you need a web site? Actually that’s not really the question here, is it?. The fact that you are here right now looking at our web site indicates that you understand the value the Internet offers. We all know that as its most basic level it provides a 24/7 sales and support centre for your clients, and provides new potential clients a way to check out your business from the comfort of their home or office. More and more people now rely on the Internet for research, news and commerce. Not only are consumers using it more, but the number of businesses that have access to the Internet from their offices is growing. The Internet has changed the way we do many things, it won’t be long before everyone is connected and accessing the Internet is as common as using a phone. What options do you have to get your business online? You can do it yourself Well, it’s really very simple. Here is the minimum required to get you online. Register your domain name, acquire and learn some HTML authoring software, spend time creating your website, find a company to host your web site, upload the pages you created to that server – that’s it! Of course, as we all know, things do not always go as smoothly as expected, especially with the learning curve associated with acquiring new skills. And not all of us have the desire or time to spend hours learning new software, computer languages and procedures. Everyone in business knows that time is money. If you get bogged down working on your web site, you won’t be able to keep up with the other demands your business has. Your business needs you and it should be your primary concern. What may happen is your web site project falls by the wayside. You may have the greatest intentions and creativity, but without the time to dedicate to it, it will not represent you very well. There is nothing that says “unprofessional” more then an incomplete website. A website that is full of empty pages, pages “under construction” or links that do not go anywhere give a poor impression of your company. You have to be honest and realistic in your skills and the time you can afford to spend on this. In the end, if you decide you that you want to create your own site, we can help you by providing hosting services for your site as well as email services too. See hosting packages here >> “Hey dude, where’s my web site” Yes, anyone with a computer and Microsoft Frontpage™ can make you a website. But consider a few things carefully before letting your friend’s daughter’s boyfriend make you a website. Have they completed a web site before? It's one thing to have a site you started and did not finished, but when someone does that for you, it can be a sore point in a relationship. Another point to remember is that a web site is not a static thing; we can’t just build it and then forget about it. The Internet, like the world around us is dynamic. New trends, concepts and improved technologies appear constantly. So will your web designer be there to fix problems, add new features to enhance performance and keep the content of the site current. The last point, and perhaps the most important one, do you trust this person to represent your business? The web site represents you, your company and your corporate image. Will they make you look trustworthy and reliable or questionable and unprofessional? If you are going to invest time and money, make sure both are well spent and benefit you. Now you are starting to realize that you need to have someone who has the experience and dedication to do the job right and you start looking for a professional web developer. Get it done professionally OK, you understand the need and you know what you want to achieve. You realize you don’t have to time to dedicate to it yourself, you want it done right and need help getting it done. Here your search begins. Web site developers are everywhere it seems. They range from people working out of a home office with low overhead to large corporations with extensive overhead. This spread and cost of overhead means the prices vary greatly between web developers. But the old adage "you get what you pay for" is very true here. As with everything, the lowest bidder is usually not the best qualified, but on the other hand the highest bidder is not always the best either. Where do we stand? Well quite frankly, right in the middle. Being in the middle gives us the unique ability of providing the best value. Our goal is to provide you with the best product and service for the best price. What makes PixelGems different and why we should be your web development company? We started in 1994 developing custom software solutions. Writing software requires a wide range of skills that differ from the elements of web development. Writing web pages in the most basic form is just like desktop publishing, instead of producing a layout for printing it's just laid out on a computer screen. To be able to do this requires little or no knowledge of computer programming, just a good eye for layout and basic comuter user skills. But today, web pages require more then just a good layout. DHTML is required to make pages that not only look good but perform a userful function. DHTML is when we combine the elements of HTML with Javascript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). PixelGems has the proven programming skills to make this work. We add elements to web pages such as Java™ applets, PHP, ASP and scripts that other Web Developers need to outsource. In fact, we have done freelance work for developers around the world producing custom Java™ applets. Does this make us a good choice to be your web developer? We think so! OK, ready to get started ?
